Hibernating tab stack changes focused tab in stack
-
After a recent update (6.1, I believe), every time I hibernate background tabs, or hibernate a specific tab stack, it changes the selected tab in the stack. Most of the time, it changes it to the first tab in the stack, though not always, so I'm not sure of the exact rules. I would like to get back the behavior where hibernating a tab stack would not change which tab is selected in the stack.
As a note, if I close out the browser and open it back up, the lazy loading of tabs does not change the selected tab in the stack. This is specifically when I tell Vivaldi to hibernate stuff with the tab/stack right click menu.
I'm currently on stable version
6.1.3035.75on macOS Monterey (M2 chip), and Vivaldi doesn't seem to have any updates available.Please let me know if you need any additional information from me, or if there is somewhere else I should be posting this.

Same exact behavior on Windows 10, version 6.1.3035.111.
I adhere to henderea's request. I would love to get the previous behavior back.

On
6.2.3105.47now, and still the same issue. It would be great to get this fixed, because it can be really annoying. Especially since it isn't even consistent. Sometimes it switches to the first tab in the stack (which isn't too bad, since I use a separator tab there (via an extension) that lets me jump to the tab I want), but sometimes it picks a random tab in the stack to switch to. It really shouldn't be switching my tab at all, and this behavior is a huge pain. -
Just realized this is happening on 6.7 still, and it seems to be the same problem from back then.
I've noticed that the focus tab in a stack will change to what seems to be the first tab in order that wasn't active.
By which I mean, say a tab stack has A, B, C, D, E tabs and A & B were active but C, D E were already hibernated. While on non-stacked tab, the displayed focus tab for the stack will be A because it was the last tab I was on before a I moved out of the stack. But when I manually hibernate all background tabs, the displayed focus tab will change to C.
Conversely, if all the tabs in a stack are active, it will always make tab A the displayed tab when hibernated, even if I left the stack with D as the most recent tab.
Shouldn't the functionality be that a tab stack hibernates and leaves the displayed focused tab as the last one you were on?

I just installed Vivaldi (after Brave completely destroyed their layout, lol) and this is pretty much only pet peeve that I cannot find a solution for.
Use case:
I usually have a stacked tab group as the last [rightmost] tab, and the first tab inside the stacked group is a news page. I always want this to be the active tab, so I can refresh it whenever I want.But when I open a new tab (which places itself on the far right, as the new last tab) and then close that tab, the active tab inside the stacked group switches to the last tab in the stacked group, hiding my news page that I generally want to keep active.
Presumably because it wants to "Activate Right in Tab Order" due to my "Close Tab Activation" settings, which makes sense logically.
I can somewhat get around this behaviour by instead activating the "Activate in Recently Used Order" setting, but that's not my preferred setting for other use cases...
In short, I would love a setting to "lock" stacks from switching the active tab via the "Close Tab Activation" setting. I basically want Vivaldi to treat the stacked tab as a single tab, and not fudge around with the tabs inside the stack.
