Mouse gestures issues on vivaldi 6.1, plus showing link target on mouse hover
-
Hi community,
just updated to vivaldi 6.1 (6.1.3035.75). After a while of set it up I found some issues, which I cannot get over it. Hopefully someone will be so kind and give me some clues.- Some mouse gestures are not working, specifically 'Open Link in New Tab (Over a Link)', and 'Open Link in Background Tab (Over a Link)' These two having same behaviour like 'New Tab' and 'New Background Tab' They just not open a link I am gesturing over. Tried to make reset of gestures, didn't help. Other gestures work fine, like back in browsing, forward in browsing, close tab. Any idea?
- This is maybe some setting I cannot find. When hover with the mouse over the link, it used to show target of link in the status bar at the bottom. Now it shows nothing. Couldn't find any setting which may this behaviour. Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help, guys. Appreciate

@vyplager Hello and Welcome to the Vivaldi Community
Some mouse gestures are not working, specifically 'Open Link in New Tab (Over a Link)', and 'Open Link in Background Tab (Over a Link)' These two having same behaviour like 'New Tab' and 'New Background Tab' They just not open a link I am gesturing over.
They work fine here testing in a clean profile of Vivaldi 6.1 on Win10 x64.
They need to be actually used over a link.

Do you have an example url where it doesn't work as expected?You can see what gesture is triggered in the Status Bar but it shows very quickly. See next point.
When hover with the mouse over the link, it used to show target of link in the status bar at the bottom. Now it shows nothing.
You have most likely set your Status Bar to hidden, maybe with Ctrl+Shift+S.

@vyplager Working fine here in a default setup of 6.1.3035.75 Stable.
When hovering a link, the mouse cursor changes to a pointing hand. Right-click and drag down opens the link in a new tab. Right-click, drag down, then up, opens the link in a new background tab.
I edited my mouse gestures in the Snapshot version to make these common commands easier to perform:
- GestureDown (Over a Link) opens the link in a new background tab
- GestureUp (Over a Link) opens the link in a new foreground tab
In Settings, Mouse, try adjusting the sensitiviy for gestures.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your quick answers.
Keywords clean profile kick me in. I tried to delete whole profile and now it works. I have to find out, where exactly issue is, because I took me a quite a long time to create profile and I don't want to delete it completelly.
I try to do it step-by-step. -
@vyplager A new profile is only for testing. You didn't have to delete your main profile.

So, after 40 minutes I found an issue, maybe it will be helpfull for someone else
I had to delete folder \User Data\Default\Sessions
So I manually saved all my opened tabs (about 20 of them), deleted folder Sessions, and manually reopened all tabs again. Both issues dissapeared and it works as expected now.
Also, I kept all my profile settings.
Thanks for cooperation, gentlemen, have a good day.
