Will they ever fix the search bar?
Two Vivaldi updates.
The current entry continues to be deleted in the search bar -
@bogast Settings, Search:
Keep Typed Text After Searching -
Where it is? I do not have this
-
@bogast It is available in the latest Snapshot. No doubt it will make it to the Stable build in due course.
-
-
I have the latest Polish version 6.4.3160.44
I don't have that option -
@Pesala
OK. I have no more questions -
@bogast
Ah.So this setting has not been introduced to Stable yet.
It is in Snapshot and in the nightly Tester version that I use.
If you are on Stable, you will have to wait for some days to see this option.

"If you are on Stable, you will have to wait for some days to see this option."It couldn't have been written like that straight away?

@bogast I actually didn't know that until I poked around. I never had a problem with search behavior, and so had not had occasion to look into this.
I don't work for Vivaldi and am not privy to their plans and work schedules. I've no idea when any certain specific thing will be done.
I do know that what we can see in Snapshot and the nightly test version will graduate to stable on a six- to eight-week schedule.

When will be the right time?
Does anyone know the answer? -

Hi, nobody except the Vivaldi team know this.
If an update appear check the change logs if the bug is mentioned.
The latest update was only:
[Chromium] Upgraded to 118.0.5993.146The one before:
[Calendar] No scroll bar in template dialog (VB-101294)
[Crash] On speed Dial navigation (VB-101057)
[Chromium] Upgraded to 118.0.5993.138
[Quick Commands] Search results not highlighted after scrolling with a mouse (VB-101093)
[Tabs] %3D in favicon URLs breaks rendering (VB-101335)I guess in 2-3 weeks we get the next stable, last one was at October 26, 2023.

New update and nothing changed. Nothing.
-
@bogast The update
6.4.3160.47
was only a minor update to patch a security bug from Chromium. -
-
I read it, so that's why it says nothing has changed

These changes have to be tested from the Beta tester before it lands in a stable build.
Testing a change for ~long time is understandable, but fixing a regression should be as fast as possible. What is there to test other than just to find that it should work the same as it worked for many years before ?
-
@secarica Regressions are, on the whole, usually caused by changes in other parts of the software that impact the regressed function - not by changes in the code for the function itself. When repairing a regression, you still have to test it in the context of the new software because, chances are, you had to rewrite the regressed function to make it work in the new environment. Just because "it used to work" does not mean "making it work again" is a snap of the fingers.
That said, regressions get top billing in bug fixes because the authors of the software never want something to stop working.

Destroy easily. So why destroy? Maybe test everything first before doing anything and not the other way around?
Is it possible to return to the version where it worked without losing data, history, bookmarks, etc., or should I uninstall it and look for something better?
