Anyone heard of Mastodon? – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2861.3

wetware05

@pathduck: I have the problem that the panels on the left are closed when I download something. I've been through that process just in case that was the problem. But no, it's a new and different problem.

Pathduck

@wetware05 OK I understand now with the better explanation. It looks like a regression in this snapshot. It still opens for me when downloading if closed though, but it also closes if already opened, which it should not. Good find - report a bug

Please read:

carefully and report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker

On the minimal explanation given by Vivaldi. As it is written it seems that you have to go to the Windows configuration. Closing and opening a program is not "restarting" (the explanation already says that you have to close it, then the changes are already applied when you reopen Vivaldi). The concept of reboot is used for what is done with windows when there are changes to the system that will only affect when it is rebooted (or logged off, in some cases).

On the other hand, a good explanation limits searching for the options that you refer to through the settings.

(I have more than 30 years of experience in the computer. If you serve customers over the phone, you have to be as concise as possible. Ambiguity can take more time to understand the meaning of the receiver and what the speaker is referring to).

Another thing I don't need and don't want to see in my Vivaldi, how to remove this panel? Found it, edit, remove from toolbar.

@iAN-CooG Remove which panel?

Use this code:

button.panelbtn.notes

{display: none !important;}

Look for the selector of "mastodon" to replace for "notes". ( I use stable)

For those who don't like the layout and BS of Twitter and only want to follow certain people use the extension FeedBro:

Moreover if you want to filter certain topics you can:

You only have to open the page of the person in Twitter and click the icon of the extension and select "Find Feeds in Current Tab"

@Cjcr Life often presents these little challenges.
Glad you got to the bottom of it.

Since last month started to run a Backup right before update so it's all safe and up to date

Let's see what happens, if they need to be all enabled the Scroll will be so distant.

Wanted to Remove/Hide them but now those are stick.

Thx for the code!

@barbudo2005 No mod needed, just edit/remove from tool bar is enough to remove unwanted panels.

bug in address field
https://csdb.dk/release/?id=226162
the last / before the ? gets removed and the address becomes
https://csdb.dk/release?id=226162
each time the address text gets selected it returns shown as https://csdb.dk/release/?id=226162, press esc to unfocus address field and it returns shown wrongly https://csdb.dk/release?id=226162
Please can anyone confirm this so I can fill a bug report

EDIT: wth, clicking on the links for me opens the address in a new tab but the address field is empty, I have to press esc once to get it displayed.

Right. The built-in panels do not show " Remove web panel". You have to enter the menu "Panels" and unselect it.

@iAN-CooG I already reported:
(VB-93219) URL with anchor link hides slash after domain name

This was for anchor links (#) but I'm thinking it's the same cause.

Feel free to create another though - they really need to fix this.

The difference between
/release/?id=226162
and
/release?id=226162
is subtle but important. In the first case you're calling a resource at the path /release/, in the latter the resource is named release...

@Zalex108 I'm not sure if you noticed this, but for newer web panels (that were added while using this new snapshot), you still get a "closed web panels" sub-menu, but only if you remove them with the context menu. And for whatever reason, the "closed web panels" sub-menu only appears for the context menu of panels, even though the context menu for the panel bar should also give it.

Removing them with the toolbar editor fully removes them, and that will certainly be a very confusing behaviour.

Actually, I made a video; hopefully this is clearer (because I can't quite articulate in writing what I mean): https://streamable.com/a43kj6

There's other quirky things going on here (like the web panel remaining open even though it was fully removed).

@AltCode

Yes noticed that too,
But that way they do not respect the given structure/order when "enabled", they locate at bottom instead.

Ah I see. I hadn't noticed that. Regardless, I think having it handled by the toolbar editor is the way to go. They just have to make hiding and removing web panels two separate actions.

Right now, it's not immediately clear when you do each. A clearer way, imo, would be that once a web panel is created, it cannot be removed at all unless explicitly done through the toolbar editor.

So if you remove the button from the panel bar toolbar, it stays in the toolbar editor, so then to fully remove it, you right click the web panel in the toolbar editor.
