DevTools Word Wrap, and "Other tabs share a process..." notice
-
I've recently been having issues with my DevTools (May 2024).
First, I'm getting this notice in a yellow bar at the top of the webpage:
"Other tabs share a process with this tab, which may result in an unexpected DevTools experience."
When I researched this, I found out that there was a Chrome bug which has been causing this in Chrome browser, but it was fixed and disappeared with a Chrome update. It hasn't disappeared in Vivaldi. (At least not in my set-up.)
See:
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78372479/google-chrome-shows-other-tabs-share-a-process-with-this-tab-which-may-result](link url)Second, In the DevTools Elements panel, the source code lines are no longer wrapping, even though in the DevTools settings, under Elements, I have "Word Wrap" checked, as I always have.
Does anyone else have the same problems? Can anyone else duplicate either of these issues? Any suggestions to help me solve or troubleshoot the problems?
Thanks!
(My setup)
Vivaldi: 6.7.3329.24 (Stable channel) (x86_64) Revision: d4410a3fae50d95430d6ef72fe7b356214423a78 OS: macOS Version 13.6.6 (Build 22G630) JavaScript: V8 12.4.254.15 User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

I tested on Windows 11 and Linux Debian 12.

How to reproduce?

Works for me.

How to reproduce the notice? I'm not sure, but it seems to appear when I have two tabs with DevTools open in both. Though sometime only one tab in the workgroup has DevTools open and I get the warning there anyway, so maybe... two tabs with DevTools open, even if they are in different workspaces? In other words, I'm not sure how to reliably get the notice to appear. It shows up often for me.
Thanks for checking. Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot the DevTools Elements panel word-wrap problem? That's the more difficult issue.

I tried with Devtools as window or attached with two tabs on same page, no such warning. Both Devtools work nice.
Perhaps a Vivaldi-on MacOS-only issue?

Are you advising that I post on the Vivaldi for macOS sub-category? I'm looking for any advise on how to fix or better troubleshoot this issue.

No. It is ok, you wanted to know if that happens for other users.
-
I have very few extensions, and none that seem like they would extend or effect DevTools. I disabled a couple that might possibly effect DevTolls, but that made no difference.
Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by using breakpoints in DevTools. Unless you are referring to"Toggle device toolbar"? I sometimes use that, but the notice appears even when I am not using it. Do you mean something different?
Thanks for sticking with me!

@hommealone Sorry, i added the wrong answer. Edited my ost now.

Just wondering if anyone else has any suggestions about how to fix this? It's a serious problem for me.
What else can I try to do? How can I troubleshoot the issue?

The warning line i saw some days ago while debugging some web page.
But i do not know how to hide the warning. -
Yeah, this yellow infobar is a nuisance for me too. It shows up when I open devtools for a website that has more than one tab open and they run in the same process. For example:
At https://issues.chromium.org/issues/324096747 it is said a workaround is to run the browser with this cmd line parameter:
--disable-features=DevToolsSharedProcessInfobar

Seems ok here.
Imo, another nuisance --perhaps more annoying-- of using Devtools in Vivaldi is this: if we have Console as the last used tab, we close and reopen DevTools, it opens in Console tab correctly, but cmd input line is not focused (as it does on Chromium), thus requiring a click on it before we can type something.

Thanks. You wrote:

Can you explain how to do that? I'm not normally a cmd line-type of user, but I can take a crack at it.
Of my two issues, that one is just a nuisance, whereas the line wrap is a real problem. I can now only use DevTools with window at the bottom, not on the side.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this DevTools word wrap problem?
(Aside: how do I insert a blockquote in this interface?)

@hommealone Create a desktop shortcut to vivaldi.exe
At property Target add at end of command--disable-features=DevToolsSharedProcessInfobar
-
Easy for you to say, DoctorG, Windows user!
In MacOS, tasks launch from the taskbar icons, and a quick search has no answer to how to add a target property there. I'll keep looking though. Thanks.
How can I find more help on how to correct my more urgent DevTools word wrap problem?
Maybe I should post to the macOS sub-category after all?

Excuse me, i missed that you are a Maccian
In Windows and Linux i can edit the desktop shortcut and mime-type association.
But in Mac launcher i do not know.open -a "Vivaldi" --args -disable-features=disable-features=DevToolsSharedProcessInfobar

Thanks. If anyone else is interested in this obscure question about adding command line arguments to Mac taskbar icons, I think the answer is here:
And how do you add those nice blockquotes in this forum?
Can I post my word wrap question in the macOS desktop sub-category, or is that bad form - considered double posting? - or not helpful, at any rate?

@hommealone Whoah, i read it; changing command line of an app is not as easy like in Linux or Windows.
-
Regarding blockquotes, perfect - thanks! I've bookmarked that page.
So what's the etiquette in this forum about posting a question, edited version, again in a subcategory?
Do you think I'd be better off searching for answers on a Chrome forum?
