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

Same issue here, Arch with Gnome on Wayland with Iris Xe graphics.
It worked perfectly before 5.2.

@guigirl said in Broken text on tabs:
@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
?
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
Thanks

@npro
Snapshot has the same issue as current release. -
@exist2resist Interesting. Today there has been a Snapshot update, you 're talking about it? Do you also have Intel Xe Graphics? If so, try an older kernel since you 're saying it was running ok with F35.
Or try disabling just the rasterization with
--disable-gpu-rasterization
. -
Tab names are scrambled until I hover over them. Seems like English is overlay-ed with some other language, or just somewhat offset English itself. Tab names as a result are unreadble.
Example:
-
@dhruv8sh Did you search the forum before posting? There's already lots of discussion on this.

@zesko said in Bad reading inactive tabs in Gnome 42 Wayland:
I disabled --enable-gpu-rasterization in the flags
This fixed it for me, also. Sparky Linux rolling distribution.

Hi,
Since updating to ubuntu 22.04 i have noticed that in vivalid (5.2.2623.41 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) ) the text in the tabs can be scrambled.
Hovering over the tab sometimes has the text appear ok, moving the scrambling to another tab (multiple can be scrambled, some more than others).Hover over the Ansible update tab:
I was thinking it could be a driver problem, but it only happens in vivaldi.
Thanks

@davidbond Seems Vivaldi has trouble with Ubuntu graphics driver.
Disable Settings → Webpage → Hardware Acceleration and restart
and all is fine.
