Are there .dmp files?
Yes there are, like I said, I opened the newest one in WinDbg but couldn't understand anything. And like I said few times already, I don't want to blindly send anything to devs (I have to check everything myself what they contain before).

EDIT: The panel width issue is also deserves a separate thread.
So it's not a known problem? I have seen that possible new bugs are confirmed as bugs or not from others and then bug report is sent, right here in these blog entry discussions. I just wanted to know whether this is a known/reported bug already (or it's not a bug.. for some odd reason, even though it worked differently before).

Hm, this is the default width with a clean profile on Vivaldi stable:
And this is the default width in a clean snapshot profile:
If I change the width and set "Separate Width" it remember the settings after restart.
Iirc you have to disable "Separate Width", then resize, then set it again.Cheers, mib

Iirc you have to disable "Separate Width", then resize, then set it again.Umm, that's not what I was writing about.
Before: If you changed the width of ANY panel withOUT the "Separate Width" setting, then all of those panels were the same new width, AND that width was remembered after restart.
Now: newest snapshots (after 2881.6): If you change ANY panel withOUT the "Separate Width" setting, then all of those panels are the same new width, BUT after restart the width of those panels is the Vivaldi forced new width.
EDIT: I only have few panels that I like to have wider (varying) width, and all the rest I'd like to have the same (default) width, without setting them all separately with the "Separate Width" setting. It used to work before, but not after the
[Panels] Increase default Panel width (VB-93713)change in 2881.6. -
@Preorian
AH, I can reproduce it, stable remember the custom setting without Separate width. A new feature cause a new bug, not rare.
Please report it to the bug tracker, I can confirm internally.For information on how to report a bug, see this URL: https://vvld.in/how-to-report-bugs
Once that is done, please share the bug number. -
Reported: (VB-93838) The new default Panel width is forced back after restart

@Preorian
I confirmed the report in the bug tracker.Cheers, mib

It's not a bug, it's just annoying, I haven't experienced it so far: before entering the forum and then for a few minutes afterwards, a window prompting you to log in with your google account pops up on EndeavorOS Linux. I don't know who else has experienced this besides me.
Update: I see that this appears even before a comment is entered -

a window prompting you to log in with your google account
This means you have an extension OR you have an email OR a panel which requires this login.

Snapshots are for testing only. It is not an extra stream, even if many use it like that.
Okay. In my case I use the version or snapshop that seems more stable for how I use Vivaldi. If right now the "Stable version - 5.6 (2867.46)" has the error that the panels on the left are closed when downloading a file, I prefer the current snapshot. In other cases I use the latest snapshot if it does not have bugs like I use Vivaldi and if it has also added some improvement or a Chrome update. I think this behavior is quite general...among computer nerd people.

@Preorian
rename your profile folder default to something else and start againIn my experience (twice in a couple of years, I think) this has been a registry issue (if you're in Windows)... version mismatch following a crash during install. The only way I could fix it was to restore an old version from a backup - which could then run - and update it again.
-
@TbGbe Thanks, I also remembered that I use e-mail, but it didn't occur to me until now.
-
@mib2berlin: The fix is included in this snapshot, which is why I listed it in the changelog

Is there any method of creating a program that minimizes new bugs/regressions? I get the impression that the developers spend their time mainly fixing bugs that they created themselves, which is very inefficient.

Hi, there are several hundreds reports a month and a bit less are resolved. Even when 50 bugs are created by new features or regressions it doesn´t matter much.
The problem is the most reports are not bugs, there are caused by extensions, third party software, broken profiles or user errors.
I reported a bug as I cant add any mail account but it was Avast blocking this and it take me a while to notice that.
Every report have to investigate, test from different testers on different platforms and this take a lot of time.
By the way, the developer run ten thousands of automated tests for every release, every software company does this.
I am waiting for a bug free Windows since Windows 3.1 but it does not happen even they have thousands of developer and test suites.
I investigate maybe 20-30 reports a week in my part time, every tester does but it is not enough.Cheers, mib

Vivaldi Sync has been having connection failures for several hours now (
SYNC_SERVER_ERROR (HTTP 500)). I've seen this happen lately. -
@Preorian Confirmed here, but with 502…

Should be fixed now.

Hi Everyone,
I thought the address bar dropdown area was supposedly 'fixed' with this snapshot version, at least for me it's still not working properly. The dropdown arrow appears where it's supposed to on the far right end of the address bar but it's grayed out and when I click on it nothing happens. Is anyone else still having the same exact issue ?
David
