Starting to stabilize – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3381.34

TbGbe · Win: Snapshot Vivaldi 7.1.3554.3

@nofashion I don't have a printer, but using "Microsoft print to PDF" the print preview works for me on Win 11.

@nofashion Just FYI, I recently checked Chromium bug tracker, and there were at least one report about broken print preview going back to Google Chrome 125 (that is, it appears to have started/regressed after the code 6.7 is based on, while this snapshot is based on Chromium 126), and IIRC it was reported as Windows-only, possibly only Win10, but I am not sure about that.

I also tested print preview on my machine, and had no problems.

One possibility could be that the issue is related to particular printers or their drivers.

In any case, this is likely an upstream issue, caused by a change in Chromium.

Thank you, as always, for taking the time to read and write here, as you so often do.

As I said, your comments are always very informative for me.

Is it still too early for that?

But it's such a beautiful work by @NOMADIC
Not that anyone feels offended by it.
I just wanted to use it again.

It's stable, no crashing, uBlock Origin works fine, print preview to PDF works, that's about it.

Print Preview is still not working for me on Windows 10 with the latest Snapshot.
No such issue on the latest Stable build.

@pesala: I have Windows 11. Try, select text and print, with right mouse button.

That makes no difference. I see the same blank print preview dialog.

@Pesala sorry, cannot confirm…

nofashion

@pesala: confirmed. same here. latest beta no print preview. with older stable (6.7.3329.27 (Stable channel) (64-Bit)) it works fine.

DoctorG

@nofashion Yes, seems jump to Vivaldi's Chromium core 126 and Windows 10/11 printing system caused it.

@DoctorG @nofashion @Pesala Here is the upstream bug I mentioned https://issues.chromium.org/issues/339994760

DoctorG

@yngve Thanks.

But strange that it does not happen with 6.8.3381.34 Windows 11 23H2 (10.0.22631.3737]) for me.
I get the preview.

@DoctorG No idea. The snapshot 3381 build does have a chromium update to current Stable.

On my machine, I have not been be able to reproduce a missing preview. OTOH, my elementary steps may not re-enact what others have done closely enough.

I suspect that we may need detailed step-by-step minimal testcases for each of the various print preview issues from those experiencing the issue filed as bugs. It would also be helpful if you could compare with Chrome 126 (Stable) to see if you can reproduce there.

One thing that might be helpful with those testcases would be to test using the MS PDF file "printer" as a target (perhaps configured as default printer). One possibility that needs to be eliminated is that this might be related to specific printers.

DoctorG

@yngve I am not able anymore to reproduce it on my Windows 11 23H2, tested with Save as PDF, regular printers and virtual printers (like MS PDF or PDFCreator).

In the latest snapshots (I don’t remember starting from which one), the function for changing the page scale Cntrl + SCROLL stopped working. Check, please

@laserviolin Already known, and we are working to fix it, but the fix keeps breaking other things
