Lost all tabs in Workspaces

@OakdaleFTL I have lost all my tabs from all my workspaces. Fortunately these contained only about 8-10 tabs so I remember them. I was searching for in the Quick Tabs or Spam Buddy I've found the lost workspace tabs mixed into the other tabs of that window where they were used last time.
This is exactly the bug I've encountered.
- Have a session with one Vivaldi window on General/Default workspace;
- Create some workspaces;
- Move the tabs to the appropriate workspaces;
- Open a new window and switch to one of the workspaces containing tabs;
- Close the window. Browser crashes and when opening up, all the previous tabs are in the general/default workspace.
Luckily I had only a handful of tabs open across the workspaces else I'd have gone mad.
I've reported it as a bug already.

Can confirm this or similar Bug. After restarting my Manjaro Linux mashine, all my 40 Tabs back in the default workspace, thats annoying.
I will go back to use grouped Tabs until this is fixed. -
This seems to be the #1 most reported bug at the present. I have a lot of tabs open, just the nature of my work and hobbies, the workspaces feature was the answer to my prayers meaning I was finally able to bring some organisation to the chaos. After spending a considerable amount of time I finally was able to achieve a sense of order and it was good. Then one day I open the browser to find all that hard work undone, a real kick in the shins. Let's hope this gets resolved soon (along with Workspace syncing).

Not being forced to use Last Session is FAR FAR FAR FAR more important than Workspace Syncing.

@LocutusOfBorg More important to you ...

More important to the VAST majority. Now move along.

I started having this issue recently. Used saved tabs in workspaces for many months with no issue ("restart last session" option selected). Last week I opened up Vivaldi to find all of my tabs gone (though the named workspaces were all there).
I painstakingly restored all the tabs from my browser history, and everything seemed to work fine, but the same problem popped up today. All tabs gone.
Any tips?
-
Great, all the tabs I had in workspaces disappeared, and I also have no way to recover them since I didn't have them saved elsewhere, and my history is a mess. I probably lost them forever :).
Any solution? I switched to Vivaldi a month ago, but with so many bugs, I'm already regretting it, and this was the last straw.

@dan7sei Your tabs should be in the Closed Tabs list (...the trash can icon). I've used the workspaces feature since it was available — and I've never been able to reproduce the duplication or losses I've seen reported.
Sorry if I seem unhelpful; but I can't figure this out... -
@OakdaleFTL I didn't notice right away; a few days must have passed since the tabs in workspaces disappeared, but I do remember them still being there last week. I tried checking in Closed Tab list when I noticed, but found nothing, and the same with my history. I browse a lot, so I open hundreds of tabs per day, making it even harder to recover those tabs. I'm not sure how the bug occurred, but I did use windows and closed them, although I kept using my main window.
Thank you anyway for trying to help; I'll figure out a way to remember and recover the important tabs. I'll try to have everything saved in bookmarks just in case, but it would be great if Vivaldi Sync had an option to restore backups, including Workspaces and open tabs, to avoid these kinds of issues.
-
@dan7sei There was a mod some time ago that would do periodic session saves (this was before the Sessions Panel experiment...) that you might want to try. But let's hope this behavior is replicated and then fixed!
(I've not experienced it, myself. But I can understand your frustration.)As previously stated, Sync is not a backup service... It's for syncing different devices, say, your desktop and your phone. (And as such is something I don't use; I do different things on different devices...)

I just lost over 350 tabs across 8 different workspaces, I haven't even closed the damn browser, it just crashed and boom... no tabs at all in any workspace.
This is actually ridiculous and waste of time. it was really a mistake to switch to vivaldi. -
I am having this issue as well. I have multiple workspaces with as little as a handful of tabs in each.
As an example, I have 4 WorkSpaces and each have max of 3 tabs. Once I close Vivaldi in Mac Studio M2 Max, I am unable to reopen the Vivaldi unless I remove the session files in the default folder.
Anyways, back to the trusty Brave!

I've been using Workspaces since they became available, have had no problems, and really like the feature.
I don't use sessions. I have about 10 workspaces. The workspaces have (had) between 3 and 25 tabs.
Last night, I ran Windows Update, updated various things Windows Update doesn't update, and rebooted the machine.
I've done this before with no issues.
Today, all my Workspaces were empty. (Zero tabs, not even the default start page.) All the tabs were gone, not "not in a workspace," but not open.
The "trash can" history is empty, except for the few pages I just looked at.
The full History has the tabs, somewhere, but digging them out is going to be...no fun.
I'm not throwing my hands up in rage, but I am disapointed.
Next time I update or reboot, I'm going to save everything as a Session first and see if that helps.MS Windows 10 Pro v10.0.19045
Vivaldi 6.2.3105.47 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Only a few extensions: Ghostery, Privacy Badger, that kind of thing. -
@malohin Bleh. Just noticed this is for Mac. I'll repost this somewhere else.
-
@mls14 When I re-open vivaldi my workspaces are not there but in the windows sidebar .. and they dont open properly .. good job Im only testing things but its time consuming redoing stuff
not sure how to progress -
@malohin it promises great things but not quite there yet I guess
my workspaces were missing this morning and redoing them each time of course is not an option .. hope this get sorted soon
good luck -
Just lost hundreds of tabs across 21 workspaces, tabs accumulated over many months. Some workspaces had many stacked tabs - I don't know how many altogether - maybe 500 or so, some frequently used per topic, some parked stuff to read later. Most were hibernated, preserved OK during previous restarts and updates.
Just unplugged second monitor to move laptop to sofa, vivaldi crashed, after re-open - nothing - all workspaces empty. Trash just contained what I'd intended to close - none of the tabs I'd kept open.
I love workspaces, but can't rely on them like this ...! -
It gets worse - I opened my desktop iMac (which hadn't been used for a couple of weeks) which also had hundreds of different tabs in 16 workspaces(different as workspaces not yet synced) - and all workspaces were empty too! So it's not specific to one computer - must be some bug in recent update.
