Text is invisible

Latest Vivaldi version.
New install on new phone Moto G54.
All pages have invisible text.

Its only fixed by killing the app. But re-appears after a while.

Just adding that you are not alone. I'm having the same issue. Randomly it fixes itself for a few hours, then back to blank text.

Worthy adding to the report that the text IS THERE, you are allowed to select and copy it as usual, and all links also work as intended if you know where to click.

I'm using Android 13; moto g73 5G Build/T1TNS33.14-90-9-2

Same here on old Samsung Galaxy J3, running LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2). Problem appeared around three days ago.

Similar problem on Brave browser. Mostly on Motorola phones.

go to chrome://flags
set 'GPU rasterization' to 'disable'

This helped me.

Still happening. I will see if the above suggestion fixes this.

I've been getting the same issue. Sounds like it might be something to do with Motorola phone, I have a G73. Sometimes clearing the cache fixed it, sometimes a reboot or deleting the storage for Vivaldi. Trying the GPU rasterisation flag.

I do not know for certain whether the 'Default' setting for a flag means it is Enabled or Disabled. I found a Chromium bug report from 2015 recommending that the 'Default' setting on a flag, show whether it is Enabled or Disabled.

If the issue does not clear up, I would advise submitting a bug report.

That's another one of the Chromium's laziness...
Aside of the Flags disorder, regarding FLAGS.

Opera Browser mitigated this Marking the Default state, this should be done by Chromium and / or Imported to Vivaldi if possible in the meantime...

It's very convenient to know what's the Default state
