Address bar freezes
-
Hi all,
After updating to Vivaldi 6.2 on my Android 12 & 13 devices, the address bar in the browser freezes randomly after I close a tab. It does not reproduce immediately, but after using the browser some time and after closing the active tab.
This did not ever happened before.
I am using the bottom placed address bar with visible tabs below.After the freeze, the address field is an empty box, and the Vivaldi menu is not clickable as well.
Hope it is fixed soon, as it is very annoying. The only way I can restore the functionality is force closing the browser and reopen it.
Thanks,
Mihai -
@SilverGreen93 Hello, I know what you mean. It happens to me too.
-
Samsung Tab S7 - same problem, visually there is a white rectangle on address bar, a few pixel bigger than a bar in a hight, menu is also not working.
-
It happens to me as well. very few times though. 2 or 3 times a day or so. The search engine shortcut appears on the browser usually (b for bing or G for google etc). It does not appear on this frozen tab. I know immediately that this tab will not work.The solution I found is, close that tab and open a new tab. It appears with b for my bing search engine and works right away.

Так привык к этому браузеру , но последнее время, рандомно не активная панель поиска и меню, а плюсик работает, на фото открытые вкладки, а счетчик замер на единице, приходится, открывать и закрывать браузер по 2 -3 раза

So I’m used to this browser, but lately, the randomly not active search bar and menu, and the plus works, open tabs on the photo, and the counter froze on one, you have to open and close the browser 2-3 times

@edwardp Is the bug report public? Can we see it and comment there ourselves?

No, they are not public. The originator who submits a bug report, can reply to the e-mail they receive upon the submission, if they have additional information to add to it.

I screenshoted the freezed bar.

VAB-7723 has been confirmed.

Any update on this one? There have been a couple of updates since this bug appeared, and it's still not fixed.
Some additional info - I've noticed that usually there is faint text in the address bar showing the last closed tab before it became unresponsive. Sometimes it will recover on its own, but mostly killing the app and reopening is required.
-
Currently not observing this in a nightly Android build, so I believe this fix will eventually move to Snapshot and Stable.
-
Happens to me quite frequently too -- often upon closing a window with private tabs.
I found another workaround besides closing and reopening the browser app.
The workaround is to switch to another open tab and scroll a bit up or down.I find it much less annoying than having to re-open the browser.
Hope this helps.

Updated today to Vivaldi 6.4.3171.103. The issue still exists.
@edwardp Is there any update from the devs as it was fixed or not? -

Hi, this is the Android section, this is a different issue in the desktop version.
Some user report this with a very big history, test this with disable History in the address bar settings Priority list or move it down in the list.
The "Enter" issue is fixed in the snapshot version (Beta).Cheers,, mib
