Shortcuts on the source page and other fixes in the Vivaldi 1.0.422.8 build



Hello!



Last week we released an unfortunate build, so today we are proposing to try a new one - already with corrected bugs. First of all, they repaired smooth scrolling, as well as were engaged in catching “dead birds” - bugs that lead to the fall of individual pages, and the entire browser as a whole (the result of updating the version of the browser engine). We also worked on search tips (about them below), again struggled with idle Netflix (this service is quite popular abroad), and also experimented with the minimum tab size, which is a significant problem for those who like to work with dozens of pages at a time. Now - a little more.



Search Tips



The most important thing that can be said about this function is that it does not work. At least in those versions of the browser where there is no Bing search. In the version for Russia and the CIS there is no such search. If someone installs an English version for himself - you can try this function by first disabling the option “Disable search prompts in the address bar” in the settings in the “Security” section.

At the moment we are sorting out Yandex technical documentation to include search tips for this search engine. So soon we will be able to try how it works. In the meantime, you will have to enjoy the side effect of the new function - the substitution of capital letters in the address bar when typing. We will deal with this too this week.



Important fixes



We also corrected a number of important (at least for Russian-speaking users) errors, which were discussed in blogs and forums. These include, for example, spatial navigation using Shift and arrows, or launching with a blank page, if any browser internal page is specified as the homepage. For me personally, as a Linux user, it was very difficult for the clipboard to allocate selected auto-completion characters when entering the address in the address bar. This is also repaired.



The following fix relates to frequently requested improvements to the bookmarks bar. Now you can select the option to display individual pages with icons, while maintaining the captions for the folders:

We also began to add new features to the bookmark bar itself. Now you can select the sort order of items on this panel (the translation is not finished yet) in the context menu (click on the bookmarks panel with the right mouse button):

Another interesting improvement is the replacement of the Vivaldi installer icon for Windows - a trifle, but nice. The playback of YouTube videos in the sidebar (on the web panel) should also be fixed. And again, you should earn shortcuts on the source code page. A complete list of changes, according to tradition - at the end of the article.



Known Issues



We have not been able to fix the problem with creating a sketch on the Express panel while adding a new bookmark manually.



That's all. Download the new assembly can be on the links below:

We remind you that the weekly assemblies are test, so do not forget to backup important data. You can report any errors found at the same address .
