Window closes upon tab selection using left mouse button (intermittent issue).
-
Hi,
I have been experiencing an intermittent issue where a window shuts down when I select them using a left button mouse click on the respective tab.
It has been happening for me on the last three stable versions of Vivaldi desktop-Windows.
Vivaldi keeps working. It is frustrating. I do not believe it is a case of computer resources as I have a pretty high spec PC with lots of memory.
I can usually use the Reopen Closed Window option, but it is quite frustrating (particularly if it has lost content that I have half completed and is not saved).
I usually have a lot of tabs open (100+).
Is there any way to easily switch between tabs using the keyboard only?
Kind Regards, Si.

I found out what has been causing this issue for me.
The setting under Tab - Close tab on double click.
I have deactivated it and the problem has been eradicated.
I hadn't been explicitly double-clicking on tabs, but I guess selecting tabs with a mouse click was being detected as a double click sometimes.
I have a old refurbed cheap Corsair M65 ELITE RGB FPS gaming mouse.
Not surprised that it might have an issue such as this. -
I also asked if there was way to move between tabs using the keyboard only as a possible work around.
I see that Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn will perform this function.
Thank You to all the people involved in developing and supporting Vivaldi.

I like to use Ctrl-Tab to switch tabs.
At setup/tabs/tab functions, show tab cycler - and as list - is very handy. -
@bariton Really helpful to know. Thanks.
