Solved Broken text on tabs
-
See attached screen shot. The tab looks like it's duplicating the text over top of itself and makes it illegible.
If I hover over a tab with this problem the text is temporarily fixed.
It also does not happen on an active tab. -
@exist2resist Seems all fine here [but i'm only using a VM, not on-metal].
Suggestions:
- can you verify in a clean test profile [eg, via
vivaldi-stable --profile-directory="NewTestProfile"
in terminal]? - Fedora WS session default is Wayland; have you retested in X11?
- still in Wayland, try launching your V as a full-W app, not its default Xwayland app mode, by
vivaldi-stable --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
? - try launching your V from terminal with either of these switches appended:
--disable-gpu
or--disable-gpu-compositing
?

Have exact same problem on latest Manjaro with 5.2. Somehow it fixes itself for a few minutes depending on mouse focus, new tabs created / existing tabs closed.
-
@guigirl I'm on X11, and neither of profile / gpu / gpu comp suggestions fixed anything.
-
Reverting to 5.1 fixes the issue.

Aha, a clue!

You can fix it by disabling gpu rasterization in flags temporarily

Thank you. I confirm that disabling GPU rasterization fixes the issue for now ...
vivaldi://flags

@vaygr Downgrade is not advised by Vivaldi, such will crap browser data and cause strange effects.

I do not use Wayland, my default is xorg.
Your suggestions did not help anything still getting the same issue.
Was fine on Fedora 35 prior to upgrading.Thanks

You are all using Intel Xe Graphics and you have all moved to a newer kernel, newer mesa version etc. Newer is not always better.
you can do one of the following:
- try with an older kernel
- try with Vulkan instead of GL (assuming you have everything vulkan necessary)
$ vivaldi-stable --use-vulkan --enable-features=Vulkan
- try disabling hardware acceleration or parts as instructed
- try living with a basic Vivaldi (without its UI) with
$ vivaldi-stable --disable-vivaldi
- try Vivaldi Snapshot (5.3) to see if it is also affected
- report the bug to the bugtracker
- wait for 5.3 hoping/in case it is not affected
- use another browser which is not affected

There is no world where I run a modern browser without hardware acceleration, so that is not an option.
Do you have a link to 5.3 snapshot for rpm package? -

The Writing on my tabs is getting jumbled up. I have attached a screenshot of the problem.
I have recently updated to ubuntu 22.04 with wayland and since then I am facing this issue with vivaldi. Is there any solution to this problem? I am using intergrated Iris GPU. -
@jeetss Check
vivaldi://gpu
for issues. -
Hi, please discuss this issue at the existing thread here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/75400/broken-text-on-tabs?page=1
