Vivaldi 6.0 RC 1 – Vivaldi Desktop Browser snapshot 2979.9/10

When tab is selected the tab name is not longer has a 3 dots fading effect in the end. It doesn't look good:

Is it a known issue?
Same thing on stable 6.0.2979.15

@Stardust Yeah, noticed that too. Don’t know why the ellipsis is not in use. You could stop using the tab bar

@Stardust That's weird, I've never seen the ... there. The default is a subtle dimming of the text.

In fact, it's right there in the code:

.tab-position .tab .title {
    -webkit-mask-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(180deg, transparent 0, #fff 12px);

In your image, the text cuts off abruptly, like there's something else interfering. Maybe custom CSS? Or is there a setting for that?

Yup, text should fade in the end ! Thanks for the screenshot!

no custom CSS. I see you don't have this problem?

@Pathduck @Stardust The difference you are missing here is the platform you're each using.

There is a Chromium/graphics driver bug that causes graphical corruption on several Intel GPUs on Linux. The -webkit-mask-image filter used by the subtle dimming effect on tabs triggers this corruption to occur in Vivaldi, and it was a very commonly-reported issue. As a workaround for this problem, Linux builds currently get the ellipsis instead. Unfortunately it's not possible to target this workaround just at specific GPUs.

I am on Solus Budgie, X11, Mutter.
I tested on 2 different PCs with Nvidia and AMD GPUs.

thanks for explanation!

@thomasp Thanks for the explanation. I guess that explains all the weird "my tab titles are messed up" topics we've seen

Apparently, Chromium does not support regular mask-image, it needs the vendor extension

Dear Intel,
Please stop making crappy graphics drivers.

Best regards,
The users

@thomasp The problem wasn’t the ellipsis itself, but that it is only deployed for inactive tabs. The workaround should also be applied to the active tab.

i know how this game works --wir-- but still, it'll be nice to get the next snapshot soon with chromium 112.0.5615.137 or later, for CVE-2023-2136.
