That Friday feeling – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3009.3

@Nakottih On which page can i see issue you suffer from?

My product is a full web-based software, which opens lots of pop-up windows. Actually, everytime I try to open on separated page either nothing happens or vivaldi crashes...

As you can see, I've got one window, but on the left part the grey area is supposed to display my pop-up window from my product, and on the right, those are the settings...
On the top of the page, I still have the buttons to close, reduce the page...

@Nakottih Hi, crashing when popup windows call other windows is a known bug in 6.0/6.1 and will be fixed soon, possibly in next snapshot.

Simple test case, will crash Vivaldi when the button is clicked in the popup:
https://pathduck.github.io/test/window-open-crash/

I still don't understand how Vivaldi's Settings window is related to this though, and I don't understand your screenshot. How is Vivaldi's settings related to this issue?

What OS is that, why do you have half the window as Settings and the other blank and what is this weird thing?

@Pathduck @Nakottih Not fixed yet, i check my internal (non-public) 6.1.3013.* version.

I see the bug was closed half an hour ago and i guess next 6.1 Snapshot will come with a fix.

Hi !

The setting page was just an example.

I went back to the previous snapshot version and this issue doesn't occure... Well, I guess I'll just skip this version then...
Thanks for the help !

Pathduck

@Nakottih We need more details to know exactly what you're talking about.

A simple repro case is best, or a URL where it happens.

I went back to the previous snapshot version and this issue doesn't occure

So it started with this Snapshot only? If so it's not the general crashing bug I talked about but something else and it would be good to get information so it can be reproduced.

Well, I guess I'll just skip this version then...

We are testing Snapshots to find and report bugs in a way that be be reproduced and fixed by the developers, not to get access to the "latest features". Skipping versions or going back is completely pointless when you're testing Snapshots. If you want stability, use Stable.

Tested the test case. Open popups in a tab (my setting) doesn’t crashes the browser, open as popup crashes it.

Edit: I don’t seem to get Crash-Logs, even not with this test case? Why this?

@Pathduck
Sorry for the late answer !

So, I can confirm that this is only related to this snapshot version.
To answer your questions in the order you asked :
OS : Windows 11
Half the window as Settings : so basically, the expected behaviour is of course to display a separated window when opening the Settings window, but, as far as you can witness, when I click on the toothed wheel icon, nothing happens at first (if another pop-up window is ALREADY displayed - just noticed that).
So, I try to open another pop-up window from my web-based solution, just to check whether the issue is only related to the vivaldi settings page or not, but two possibilities so far can be observed : it will either open normally the page OR it will not respond (I mean nothing is happening).
Final step : I close all the open pop-up windows and re-open either one or the other to finally stumble upon the screenshot I sent here, with the split screen (observed multiple times).

"Weird (icon) thing" : extension allowing me to manage multiple monitors. It has always been functionnal with Vivaldi/Snapshots versions so far. I don't think it has nothing to do with this...

Thanks for your interest !

I have a very weird glitch with tab thumbnails on one of my computers with this version:

Pathduck

@Nakottih I still have no clue how to reproduce this, I've tested in a clean profile and opening several popup windows along with settings, no such issue appears.

What I suggest now:

Make a simple test case site (Github/JSFiddle etc), that makes the issue appear similar to your website that causes this.
Recreate the issue from a clean profile in Vivaldi, without adding any extensions and only changing the necessary settings to make it happen (you'll have to experiment here)
Write up a Step-by-Step (important!) report how to reproduce this as simply as possible
Report a bug on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ using the step-by-step guide
Create a new topic on the forum reporting your findings and the VB-number you got - the snapshot topic will be closed when a new release is out

Sorry for my noobness on this rather new subject, but how would a user these days move individual sessions from one profile to another?

In the past, sessions were saved as individual files. I assume this had downsides, but it was also user-friendly. Now I'm rather confused and humbly hoping for help.

I am still clueless as to how one would do the above. But I managed to solve my problem in a different way.

wrt this thread title's initial word-triumvirate, i am compelled to note... it's happened again now...

just sayin'.

allegedly.

@Gif2D It is indeed

Next week is national holiday on Wednesday, day off for everyone on Thursday (some Christian thing), and a squeezed-in Friday that most everyone takes time off anyway. So hoping for one today too

npro

I think it is very unlikely . And if holidays are involved, then... good 4th week of the month for the new snapshot!

They are cooking something, that's for sure.

How comes that even if I logged in into two different websites (vivaldi mail and facebook), Vivaldi says no cookies at all have being saved into my computer?

Shouldn't there be some session cookies, around?

is it a bug?

newscpq

Pathduck

@newscpq Hi - I guess it depends... you are running in a private window, with at least 3 privacy-oriented extensions.

Now I don't understand how you'd still manage to stay signed in to FB/Webmail with no cookies but maybe one of your extensions handle it somehow.

Also, you need to change page in Settings to view any changes, just how it works in Vivaldi.

is it a bug?

Unless you can reproduce this in a clean profile, then I'd say no.

LonM

@newscpq The settings page will not record data (like counting cookies) from private windows. But cookies will still be set unless you disable cookies altogether.

newscpq

@lonm: this seems a little strange: if Vivaldi stores cookies in private windows, why the settings page wouldn't show those cookies so that they could be erased, as it happens in NON PRIVATE windows?

How comes that private browsing offers LESS cookies controls, compared to normal browsing?

strange, isn't it?
