Vivaldi becomes unresponsive on Linux Mint

I have the ozone flag set to Wayland
It's a recent KWin/Qt bug with Wayland, don't use that flag until it is fixed.

@npro Thanks. I usually test turning that back to Default each time I do a system update to see if the flickering issue (which makes the browser unusual) was resolved. I didn't do it this time yet because I've turned it to Default before and then had to set it back to Wayland with another update.
I just set it to Default again, and so far things are relatively stable. There's still some flicker/jitter with autocomplete drop downs in either the URL bar or when on search pages but usable. I'll see if the unresponsiveness still occurs or not.

I can reproduce 99% when dragging&dropping selected text or images on any website.
I tried different solutions, then what I know.
- Downgrading vivaldi version 6.6 that has no issue with Kwin/Qt Wayland. But Vivaldi version 6.7 has this issue.
OR
- Use KDE Plasma 6 X11 session that has no issue with the latest Vivaldi version 6.7 except Plasma Wayland.
I would be interested to know why the previous minor version 6.6 of Vivaldi has no problem with Plasma 6 Wayland. Does Vivaldi 6.7 break some backwards compatibility of Kwin Wayland?
-
Starting to drag a link or mail/RSS item when using
Wayland
is for me a 100% guarantee of a lockup.
When run from console, a segfault on Vivaldi close can be observed.
→VB-106251Going back to
X11
was the only remedy on 6.7 (Chromium 124), on 6.6 this did not occur. -

It's a bug that affects ALL Chromium-124-based (= Vivaldi 6.7) browsers and possibly electron-apps as well.
There seems to have been some recent change in Kwin which has caused it to no longer send wl_data_source.{dnd_finished,cancelled} after wl_data_source.dnd_drop_performed in these cases described in the repro steps.

That's because nvidia sucks (traditionally) with both XWayland and Wayland as well. You can hope that the situation will improve with their 555 (+560) drivers which will support explicit GPU synchronization and some other stuff.
