Getting close – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3329.14

oudstand

If I click in the previous version on "Check for updates", I see a small loading spinner and then nothing happens. Usually the dialog for the update or the message, that I'm already at the latest version, should appear. Can I just run the installer on the same directory to update or will I break something?

@oudstand: Restart and see what version you are on

My Standalone 6.7.3329.9 did not auto-update. I had some Snapshot restarts but nothing happned.
//EDIT: Restarted many times after ¼, ½ and 1 hour and no update. Strange.
//EDIT2: Took 2½ hours until Snapshot updated itself after closing and starting many times.

Same problem. The browser didn't update. I run the setup.exe which is located at ..\Application\{version}\Installer. This killed everything in the folder and couldn't install anything. So I've run the normal setup on the folder and everything works fine now.

Hm, auto update work for me with the snapshot as standalone.

Mean: Latest version is already installed and is activated after restart.

Doing wierd stuff is a good way to test and find issues but FWIW that is not a expected of supported way to do things. I would not expect that is work for any software based on Chromium.

Thank's. Just a question: are you going to keep the "Compact menus" or do you plan to replace them with the chrome like version?
It's my problem, but I don't like the chrome menus...

@plovec If chromium doesn't break it, it will likely stay. If you think about, the option to revert the menu has appeared very quickly.

@Ruarí on my side (Win10 x64) it starts with an

and a few minutes later, if I try to write into a page' search field it becomes non-responsive.

On another Win11 x64 PC I got unexpected crash when I try to write … (ALT+0133).

@ThirdGenerationAI
Hi, do you don't get the context menu or does Del not work?

Work both for me.

@ThirdGenerationAI
Did you tried this in a clean profile?
I test with my default profile, add two feeds and delete them work.
If I have issues in my default profile I test in a clean one, if I cant reproduce it there it make no sense to report it.
All tester and developer test in clean profiles.

@ThirdGenerationAI
You don't need a clean install of Vivaldi, first is to create a second profile or install Vivaldi as standalone install.
If you create or change something it is not clean anymore.

Profiles

Standalone

@ThirdGenerationAI
Do you removed the User Data during removing Vivaldi?
A reinstall simply use your old profile.
Check my links.

@ThirdGenerationAI
Ah OK, then report it to the bug tracker, maybe a tester/developer can reproduce it.
Mention you use a clean install.

With the last 2 Updates of the Snapshots my user profile went corrupt.
I made a new profile and half a day it got corrupt again and Vivaldi stopped starting. I disabled almost all extensions, but it went corrupt again.

Got back to Stable and the corrupt profile ist working perfect.

mib2berlin

@Icehawk_de
Hi, did you install the snapshot over the stable or other way around at some point?
You should keep them separate or you can get a broken profile.
You maybe don't notice any issues but after some time you get problems.
I install Vivaldi stable as "for user" install and others as "standalone" install.
Standalone

Cheers, mib

can anyone can confirm this new bug since two snapshots?
if you open a second window which contains open webpanels, close the second window and the tab-trashbin shows the window containing the tabs plus the webpanels as tabs.
as you reopen this window and close it again, for every reopening the webpanels are added again

Win10 22H2

(closed the second window 3 times with the vivaldi webpanel open)
