Undocked Dev Tools zooming causes the page to zoom too, also breaks the aspect ratio.
-
By googling out the issue that I faced with the latest version of the vivaldi for linux (
6.5.3206.63 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
) I came accross this post from 2019 and it appears that the issue still persists, which is crazy!I just ditched good old Chrome Beta to give Vivaldi a shot, and so far I'm pretty happy except the bug that causes my entire work flow to collapse. I use extensions to change the font for the dev tools and the font appears even smaller than 12px, so, I do zoom in a bit, but since the above mentioned bug causes the page to resize and even mess up the aspect ratio I can no longer do this and am forced to look at this tiny font size. Which ain't gonna work on a long run I'm afraid...

@rvfet I do not know why the extension causes this.

@DoctorG Hi, what you mean by "why the extension causes this"? The extension that I talked about has nothing to do with this bug. The extension just let's me to change the font for the dev tools panel.
The issue is that Vivaldi forcibly binds undocked dev tools panel zoom to the page's zoom level. Basically, zooming on dev tools panel (when it's undocked, very crucial for dual monitor setups) it zooms the page too but strange enough it shows that the zoom level is 100% at the right bottom of the screen.
This is clearly a bug that needs to be fixed. Most devs use dual monitors and use dev tools in a separate monitor so that the web-page that you are debugging does not get shrank. Having the above said issue drastically kills the enjoyment that Vivaldi brings as a fully customizable browser.

@rvfet Now with more information, i think it is a bug with Vivaldi on multi-monitor setup.
Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker. Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail. Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.
