Summer fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3425.3

Ruarí

@TbGbe Stable is always prioritised for security updates. It has to be. Snapshot is a test stream. It is not a product release.

Hi, do you meant F11 with maximized Vivaldi window?

No, I meant just with maximized window, F11 is a fullscreen feature.

And on which OS? On Linux it happen with F11 on the right side, for example.

Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. I tried with F11 too, same behavior as I previously wrote; in the bottom there's some 1 px line that prevents using the scrollbar at the edge, and on the right side with vertical scrollbar, there's no problem for me. With both F11 and just maximized window, the problem is only with the bottom horizontal scrollbar.

Without F11 I cant move the cursor to the bottom, there is the task bar.

Aaa, I didn't think about that. I have used OS taskbar in the top * for decades. Of course it's impossible to test this with just maximized window if there's a taskbar in the bottom.

* Best place, in the top, I noticed a long time ago that the mouse cursor spends most of the time in the upper part of the screen (most of the functions of the programs are in the top part of their windows), and so when taskbar is in the top, it's closer to the mouse on average, and thus reduces the need to move the mouse, especially moving it downwards which, depending of how one grips the mouse, irritates hand/wrist more.

@TbGbe Well, Keep in mind that that release was made yesterday, before the bump. And then there is ... Nah, that would be telling ...

@Preorian
Exactly the opposite, my mouse is mostly under the middle of the screen.
Anyway, moving the task bar to top the status bar is in the way, on the left side the panel toggle.
I can reproduce this on the right side, moving the mouse to max right scrolling doesn't work.

Serious regression VB-107980 not fixed. I can't use the browser with it.

Hi, it is not even confirmed and I cant confirm either.
The history is always up to date running Vivaldi for hours.
I remember some other user report this for stable too?

DoctorG

@Ruarí Were sec fixes from Stable with 126.0.6478.228 backported to 6.9 Snapshot?

Ruarí

@DoctorG Nope

DoctorG

@Ruarí Thanks for telling.

Pathduck

@DoctorG This is fine

@DoctorG It you want to be secure I would always recomend stable. We have to and do prioritise it. Sure sometimes we need to test something in a snapshot first or a snapshot might have a major Chromium version up and could be more secure. But we put the effort in to update stable and ensure it is OK and never far behind in a way we cannot for snapshot.

Snapshot is for testing, we do not consider it a "product" it is a way to help us improve the actual product (stable). I am sad when it is not secure/updated but no more than that.

On the other hand if stable is not secure I will act immediately, even if I am on holiday (also true for many other employees). But I would not normally work a holiday or weekend to get a secure update out for snapshot. That is the difference.

DoctorG

@Ruarí Ehhhm, i know this

But good that you made it clear for regular users.

Ruarí

@DoctorG Yeah it wasn't just for you.

Justification for having more holidays

[Mail] Cannot sort by all columns (VB-67151)

ZOMG! A little thing which has been missing since the beginning of mail in Vivaldi - so long I'd forgotten about it... but so good to finally have implemented!

Aronand

@gregor: Yeah, not been able to reproduce it, could you try in a clean install and see if the issue still occurs etc?

It would be good to make it clear that if the user is not interested in testing Snapshots, then they should use Stable.

I am completely unable to click any links in newsfeeds when the mail view is split index above / message below! This means I can see the summary but not open the article... I can see faint lines marking where the index columns are...

This problem does not occur in other mail layouts.

DoctorG

@mossman That is a unfixed but known issue, do you see the thin gray vertical lines? Something overlays the list.

Exactly. If it's known then I will stop reporting the bug.

By the way, another minor bug for the last couple of snapshots - notice that the number of unread articles is not shown next to "Feeds" on the mail pane? The pane still acts like it's in focus even when you click on the index or message body... The only way to stop this is to click in a blank space (e.g., below "all accounts" in my image) before clicking in the index or message.
