Solved Do not navigate to email folders unless clicked on

[Abbydon]

Please make it so that drag-and-drop and expand/collapse does not count as navigation.

When I drag an email into a folder, Vivaldi navigates to that folder. If I collapse or expand a folder, Vivaldi navigates to it. It's counter-intuitive.

No other Windows application does this. Windows File Explorer is the prime example of the decades-old behavior. Web UIs also do it. Gmail has done it since day one of the implementation.

I have hundreds of folders and sub-folders (labels, really) for organizing over 12 years of email. I get over 100 emails a day. Most are junk, but I do retain all important ones such as personal, shopping, medical, and educational. Each of those have more granular sub-folders such as Udemy and Kickstarter. Having to navigate back to where I was anytime I move an email is very annoying and time-consuming.

If there is a reason to have the auto-navigate, please at least give an option to disable it and use typical Windows folder navigation behavior.

Fix was pushed for this and should be out in next snapshot. Look for

VB-69280
[Mail] Cannot expand or collapse mailinglist and account view without changing the contents in the mail tab

Hopefully that will fix things for you

@Abbydon I agree this is annoying. It's not even consistent within vivaldi - the bookmarks tree doesn't highlight the folder when you click the arrow. Only mail does this.

FYI this is a known bug - VB-69280

I didn't know someone had counted it as a bug. Where do I go to see it?

[LonM]

@Abbydon The bugs are on a private tracker, so can't be shared publicly. I have access to it, and I've updated the bug so the devs know it is still an issue.

[Abbydon]

@LonM Ok, thanks!

@Abbydon
Can't reproduce this with dragging to a different folder...
Can reproduce the other one thought

[Abbydon]

@gmg Nice. Mine's not doing it now, either. I don't know when that changed, but it had been doing it consistently. Well, that's one big part working.

Now I just need the folder expand/collapse to stop doing it. My "Shopping" one has a full sidebar of subfolders, so I don't leave it open.
