Bookmarks nicknames not working in URL bar
-
Hello,
from v6.5.3206.39 I see that bookmarks nicknames is not possible to use directly in URL bar. Is there some change?
Thank you
Sinix -
@Sinix How long is the nickname? I know about single characters do not work.
-
I use two or three characters on empty URL bar. It is some change from last update.
-
FWIW in Vivaldi 6.5.3206.38 (RC2) they work, I have at least 3 nicknames of 2 chars, and all 3 give the url/javascriptlets associated with the bookmarks.
I can confirm single char nicknames don't work, and if intended it should be warned in the bookmark editor -
For all my bookmark nicknames I see from last update "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" Error.
It is not connectivity problem. Vivaldi is only trying translate nicknames as url address. That is not expected behavior. -
both nicknames for individual pages and folders work for me (3 chars and up)
Vivaldi 6.5.3206.38 (Snapshot) / Win10 22H2

Both single and two letter nicknames not working for me either after update to latest build.
-
Go into Settings, Address Bar > Drop-Down Menu Priority and move "Bookmarks Nicknames" to the top.
-
Unfortunately that did not work.
-
You could try turning off "Browser History" as well if it's on. If you are typing the letters and pressing enter quickly, there is an issue with having Browser History enabled where it doesn't recognize the full string that you typed.
These two things have two-letter bookmark nicknames working for me. Also tried adding a one-letter nickname and it seemed to work.

Thanks, this helped.
Nicknames with one letter finally work again.
-
Drop-Down menu is different topic. I have Drop-Down menu (showing) off. I have still no solution after last (6.5.3206.39) for this possibility of nicknames. Some next ideas? Thank you.
-
Still not working. Is this a known bug in the latest stable release?
-
I think there is indeed a new bug in Vivaldi 6.5 that has been introduced.
I noticed that when I try to open a nicknamed URL inside a new tab, it works correctly. But when you try to open a nicknamed URL in a tab which has already loaded a website, all of a sudden it tries to search for the nickname in Google and ignores the nicknamed URL. Has this bug already been reported? EDIT: I just saw that it only happens when the nickname is a single letter, so with multiple characters it does work as expected.
-
Yes, probably is this bug from v6.5.3206.39 (v6.5.3206.48 has same behavior)
Problem with single letter nickname can be caused by Search engines in Settings (b,y,d,g,w etc.)
Bigger problem or bug are nicknames with two, three or more letters. They stopped to work.
These bookmark nicknames are directly used as DNS request and they are not translated first to full correct URL.
Can please somebody report this bug officialy? Thank you. -

Good question, I was also wondering about this. I did notice that Vivaldi emails you if they have an update, for example they mailed me when they could reproduce another bug, but hopefully this doesn't mean they couldn't reproduce all other bugs that I reported.
