Popup Thumbnail doesn't always disappear
-
Does anyone else have an issue where the popup thumbnail doesn't disappear? Many times I'm not even trying to view the thumbnail, just clicking on a tab and bringing my cursor back to the web window but the thumbnail of whatever tab was last on my curser's way back to the main part will stay open, even if I click into the main window and even if I start typing. I have to mouse over to the tabs again and get a new popup thumbnail up and hope when i mouse away that one then goes away. This has been an annoyance for at least a couple months, today I finally took the time to create an account and post about it.
Anecdotally, it seems to happen more with DDG search results pages than other pages, but it will happen with other pages as well.

Yes, this has been annoying me too. I often click on the search bar near the top, and in doing so, the cursor strays onto a tab and brings up the pop up. It's quite difficult to get rid of the pop up. there should be some way for the user to control this behaviour.
-
I also feel like this is a newish problem that started in the last few months. Was happening frequently enough for me (every few minutes) that I just disabled "Show Popup Thumbnails" - I do miss the thumbnails, but not enough so that I would go back to having to deal with this problem behavior.

Super annoying. Why isn't this getting more attention?

Why isn't this getting more attention?
Perhaps because less persons were able to reproduce it with Vivaldi 7.1.3570.47?
I tested with 7.1.3570.47 Win 11 and the tooltip vanished after leaving tab bar with mouse.
-
@DoctorG Well, my instance of Vivaldi has been really good at reproducing this across all the updates for at least half a year until the current 7.1.3570.47 I just ended up disabling the feature altogether because I've had it with those annoying, obstructing popups
-
@fokers I tested my Vivaldi with UI zoom, with Windows scaling. I can not reproduc the issue.
Do you use Modifications in Vivaldi?
Which Theme do you use?
Had you tried with a fresh test profile without any settings (except vertical tab bar) and no extesions? -
@DoctorGTesting I have a couple of extensions installed, nothing fancy. I also use workspaces and often have around 50 tabs open across the workspaces. I noticed that the popup stays if I move the cursor directly from the tabs area onto the popup and then further onto the main window area. Oddly, this effect disappears after moving all the tabs to a different window. In new windows this bug does not manifest itself immediately too, it just surfaces some time after I normally use the browser, navigate, open and close tabs etc. I'm not sure what triggers it, but once the window has the sticky popups, I can recreate it repeatedly with the mention cursor-over-popup move.
Edit: I use a theme called "squared"
-
@fokers I tried with theme "suared" and it works for me, as expected. No sticky popups!
But i tested no a very long time.
And had you tried in a new test profile if that happens in there?
-
@DoctorGTesting It's not easy to reproduce, but once it happens, it's very evident. Anyways, I'll just keep trying to find out proper repro steps and let you know if I manage to do so
