Workspace fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2978.3

[WildEnte]

@edwardp well that doesn't sound like intended

[edwardp]

@WildEnte I have confirmed it, so please feel free to report that as a bug (and post the resulting bug number). Thanks.

I don't really see the logic behind this:

Why shouldn't it be possible to hide the Title bar if tabs are on top and then toggled off, say with a hotkey?

If this below is possible with tabs on the side, why can't it be also done with the tabs on top? In some cases I'd like to temporarily toggle the Tab Bar for some extra vertical space, without having the Title Bar added.

Thanks for the quick fix on this

[BUG] The menu button does not get drawn onto the .mailbar (when using the hide titlebar option)

But why did you increase the size of the .mainbar so much? It doesn't look very good (imo) and makes the buttons inconsistent (size and highlighting).

New

For anyone interested, it's a quick fix

#browser.win.address-top .toolbar:has(.window-buttongroup.on-mainbar),
#browser.linux.address-top .toolbar:has(.window-buttongroup.on-mainbar) { min-height: unset !important; }

alternatively, you can set the size of the bar to anything you want with px value

My guess is so that it matches how it looks on macOS.

Personally, I love how this looks, but for anyone that doesn't like it, here's an equivalent fix for it to be compact on macOS:

#browser.mac.address-top .toolbar:has(.window-buttongroup.on-mainbar) {
    padding: calc(17px / var(--uiZoomLevel)) calc(12px / var(--uiZoomLevel));
}

Can anyone tell me if video playback on Apple Silicon products is working fine with this version?
Previous version was completely broken as I reported in comment and bug report.

Hi there,
since this Snapshot and the Snapshot before on MacOS, the browser gets high CPU usage and hangs, when you try to open a stream on twitch.tv
Maybe someone can have a look at it, thanks

PS:
Can't test it without extensions, because i have twitch always open and the browser reopens the twitch tabs on start.

@Xeorkzys
Hi, you can disable all extensions and restart Vivaldi.
You can use the command line switch
--disable-extensions
and start Vivaldi from a terminal.
You can create a test profile.
All testers and developer test in clean profiles anyway, no extensions, all default.

Cheers, mib

@pyrlandia7: In fact, on several sites that I visit, the translation of the page is done in half, one part is translated and the other is not.

[mib2berlin]

@carlinhosnewstyle
Hi, can you add some links to such pages, please?
If other user can reproduce it you can make a bug report.

Cheers, mib

The padding calculation on the .mainbar needs some work.

If the UI zoom is set greater than 100%, toolbar buttons will overlap the windows button group.

If the UI zoom is set less than 100%, the toolbar buttons get further away from the windows button group

It seems the variable is unnecessary

padding-left: calc(46px / var(--uiZoomLevel));
padding-right: calc(46px * 3 / var(--uiZoomLevel));

since a fixed position gets accounted for already by the UI zoom

This works well

padding-left: 46px;
padding-right: calc(46px * 3);

Oh no! Most of my Workspaces have lost all their contents!! I'm having difficulty finding the tabs and rebuilding them.

[rseiler]

@pathduck: Or maybe this:

Which begs the question: 3 years?!

[thenihkid]

@ruarí recommendation is to implement some system to reorder the workspaces (preferably by dragging them in the windows panel or in the tab bar workspace drop down)

Also, you all have a great product!
Would be cool to see advertising on like reddit or techy sites or something. I really hope you all receive the recognition you deserve for the great work you all have done.

[g4uol]

@g_bartsch Mine were all duplicated, but the new workspaces had homepages. A right mess!

[g_bartsch]

@g4uol Yikes. I've almost rebuilt mine but it wasn't fun till I figured out they weren't lost and I could retrieve them. Phew!!

[g_bartsch]

@thenihkid Needed for sure; or in the meantime sort them alphabetically by default rather than as now in the order they are created. Workspaces are so new that refinement will likely be coming in the future.

[iPristy]

Well, this is serious tab organization, i have put folders from speed dial to work spaces.
Don't have that many bookmarks but this is good, not sure how long will stay organized i guess.

I also confirm more speed in Octane v2 about 3000 more than 5.7 version, now this is Chrome speed.

No luck with that rotating bookmarks bar, but now we have work spaces.

Seems the profile optimisation helped as this Snapshot is 10% faster now, compared to older Snapshots - tested with Octane on my Windows PC with NVidia GT 710.
