Solved Broken text on tabs
-
@fcalegario And a override of GPU blocklist does not help in your case?
Open chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist
Set to Enabled
Restart -
In my case I went to vivaldi://flags/#enable-vulkan and I enabled it + restart for now it tabs are rendered fine.
-
@vmladenov Interesting, sometime enabling Vulkan flag causes issues, sometimes it fixes issues in Vivaldi.
-
@vmladenov Wow thanks a bunch! That actually helped.
-
The vulkan trick worked for me too!
It's a good thing because i suppose it will preserve battery instead of using CPU when using a laptop without discrete card. -
@vmladenov @DoctorG It worked! Thank you guys!

Same problem here with KDE 5.24 on Ubuntu 22.

That fixed it!

That fixed it the text on tabs, but text in Google Docs goes blank with almost every edit.
PS: I tried to edit my previous post because it has an Edit button, but after trying to save, I got an error that posts can only be edited for 3600 seconds. Well then don't display the Edit option at all after 3601 seconds.

Hi this is a limitation for new users, this change over time or with some reputation points.
The Google docs issue must be something different, please open a new thread about.
Cheers, mib

For me this issue seems resolved with Vivaldi 6.0.2979.11 (Stable). I no longer need to use flags to have proper font rendering on tabs. Release notes for 6.0 do mention a issue solved in regards to text on tab titles:
[Linux] Glitchy text on tab titles (VB-89891)Lenovo Yoga 7i/ i7-1260P/ Intel XE ADL GT2/ Fedora 38/ KDE 5.27.4/ Framework 5.104.0/ QT 5.15.9/ Kernel 6.2.11.

It's a pleasure to announce that this long-standing bug has been fixed in today's release of Vivaldi 6.0.

@pafflick Nice to read that the ugly issue is gone
-
I can confirm on Vivaldi 6.0 it is gone and enabling Vulkan which fixed it on version 5+ actually broke google maps which started blinking.
-
Hello @pafflick , I can confirm that this issue is now fixed on Ubuntu 23.04 with Vivaldi 6.0. Greatly appreciated. Vivaldi is such a great browser, I continue to try to get more folks to use it.

@pafflick Hello, I would like to know what exactly was the issue, as I believe this is not limited to vivaldi, but also spotify (I have ghosted band's name in the currently playing widget, you know the album cover icon, song name, band name) and I suspect at least other electron and chromium based apps. If not all apps that use HW acceleration.
If vivaldi was open-source I'd ask for a commit hash, but that's not possible.
So instead I'm asking what exactly was the issue.
Was it some HW acceleration difference on linux?
Was it some chromium bug?
Was it some easy way to missuse some chromium API?
