Creating Note Folder
-
@WildEnte Great illustration; thanks for taking the time! Now I get it. To create a "new folder" user has to focus on a note item, follow steps & "new (parent) folder" is created. If focus is on a folder when "new folder" is created, the "new folder" appears as a 'child/nested' folder. In a way it's a bit mysterious but now I've got it. Another Vivaldi mystery solved! Thanks again.

actually nothing has to be focused for the parent folder. Just click empty space below the trash can but above the horizontal divider line. Then click the folder icon.

In notes panel, after creation of a new note Folder, the Return key does not unfocus the field for the name of folder. Seems to be a bug.
But Shift+Tab works.But Notes tab works to end creation of folder with Return key.
I will check for a bug tracker entry.
I reported this bug now:
VB-90279 "Return key does not confirm creation of folder in Notes Panel" -
@janrif You found a bug.

Yes, it's one of the (many) quirks of the Vivaldi UI. If focusing a folder when clicking New Folder, a sub-folder will be created. Which I guess makes sense in a tree-view listing, but can be confusing to users not familiar with the interface.
The problem however, is that if the user has a lot of notes/folders, filling up the vertical space, there is no "blank space" to select for creating a new top-level folder.
A workaround, as has already been noted, is to focus a top-level note instead before clicking New Folder. It there's no note on the top level, another workaround is to make sure "Trash/Deleted" is focused instead. Which is illogical, one would assume a new "Trash" folder would be created...
This is a problem in all tree-view UI in Vivaldi, Bookmarks, Notes. They will have to add some "empty space" to the tree to allow top-level folders to be created if the list is "full".
This is also the cause of users being unable to set the root bookmarks folder as bookmarks bar, as you cannot click any empty space to set it...

@DoctorG I can report the above for a bug, if you would be so kind as to check the VBs for any already existing first?

If did that and could not find any in tracker.
Thats why i reported to Vivaldi bug tracker internally. -
@DoctorG OK I have reported it as:
VB-90280: Vivaldi tree-view UI lacks blank space for selecting the root element
This is not the same as your Enter issue

@Pathduck Confirmed.
