Bookmarks interface not updating properly.

[pdfj]

On the bookmarks page whenever I drag a bookmark or delete a bookmark the interface does not update until I switch to the history page and go back to the bookmarks page. Also when I am reorganizing on the Speed Dial and I drag an item it freezes and never quite goes into its spot. Also the bookmarks toolbar does not update until I open a new window. I tried creating a new profile and deleting my older one and that helped for a while and then new behavior returned.

hi i went and submitted the bug report for yall since I'm still experiencing this too

issue reference is VB-93676

[GJS]

For me, this problem occurs for any edits in the Bookmarks panel, including changes to Title, Description, order, etc.  I can refresh the view by collapsing and expanding the containing folder after every edit.

The problem does not occur in a Bookmarks panel which is already open when Vivaldi starts from the last session.  So a workaround is:

• Settings > General > Startup with Last Session;
• Open your Bookmarks panel(s);
• Exit Vivaldi;
• Restart Vivaldi.

Saving a window's tabs as a named session and opening the saved session as a new window did not fix the problem.

I'm currently using Vivaldi 5.6.2867.40 (Stable channel) (64-bit).

Does anyone know of a fix for this. I have this same issue where after using Vivaldi for a while Bookmark edits don't update until I switch out of the bookmarks window or reload the browser.

@mackid1993 Check for updates?

[mackid1993]

@Pesala I am running the latest snapshot 5.7.2901.3 (Official Build) (64-bit) and I'm still seeing this on and off.

@mackid1993 --
The quickest way I know to force a Bookmarks panel view to update is <F4><F4> (close and open sidebar). For example:

• Add bookmark <F4><F4>
• Edit title <F4><F4>
• Drag to desired order <F4><F4>

I have gotten into the habit of leaving the Bookmarks panel open in at least one window when I exit Vivaldi. When I restart Vivaldi, that panel works correctly for my entire session.

[mackid1993]

Thanks, glad to know it's not just me. Hopefully a fix comes in a new build!

@GJS Excellent GJS! Worked like a charm! How bright of you to figure that workaround out! Many thanks!

I've had the exact same issue and used the same F4F4 workaround for a while now.. But I've also made another interesting observation: That bug does not happen in a Private Window. There the bookmark panel works perfectly fine.
I assumed it had something to do with the extensions I'm using messing something up. But even if I disable all extensions it still does not work in the main window.
Do other people suffering from this bug have the same observation, that it works fine in Private Windows?

Hi, there is a "Master" thread about.
I could reproduce the issue but only in a 100+ tab session with two windows running for hours.
There is a open bug report VB-94296.

Can confirm, I have 102 open tabs right now and they have been open for the entire day.

@SpeedingTurtle
Restart Vivaldi should "fix" this immediately.

[SpeedingTurtle]

Actually, I tested this some more and it seems to have nothing to do with the number of open tabs or the session length. I found a way to reliably reproduce this issue in 10 seconds without opening a single tab:

1. Freshly open Vivaldi (bookmarks still work)
2. File - New Window (or Ctrl+N) (bookmarks still work)
3. Close the new window (bookmarks are now broken)
   So the action that seems to trigger this bug is closing a (non-private?) Vivaldi window. I've avoided opening a second Vivaldi window now and it seems fine. But has been less than 24 hours so we'll see how it goes.

@SpeedingTurtle
Hi, I will try to reproduce, can you add again your Vivaldi and OS version, please?
I use stable, snapshot and an internal 5.7 version on Windows 11 and Linux.

Cheers, mib

Vivaldi Stable on Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.2486). I also tried to reproduce it on Mac but was not successful with that. t mght be a Wndows-only problem?

[JamesSartorelli]

@SpeedingTurtle
I am able to re-produce the issue while following these steps as well. Happens on both my main, and work pc.

Vivaldi 5.6.2867.62 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
OS Windows 10 Version 22H2 (Build 19045.2486)

[SpeedingTurtle]

Still broken in 5.7.

I updated related bug VB-93676 for 5.7.2921.53.
