Intermittent freezes in Vivaldi browser
by hazel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4QYHW)
As suggested by Firerat, I am starting a new thread on this, separate from the general vivaldi thread. I'm interested to know if anyone else has seen this behaviour. The version of vivaldi is 2.6.1566.49, installed in Slackware as a slackbuild. I think there were similar crashes in my previous version but this one is definitely worse.
1) The freeze is in input; both mouse and keyboard are affected. As far as I can see, video remains normal. But because the keyboard is dead, there is no way of escaping from the program or from X, for example by switching to a console. I have to switch off the machine.
2) The problem is intermittent and occasional. I don't know what sets it off, but it usually occurs during input and I think always when the mouse cursor is in its text form (I), not an arrow shape. It has happened when I was mousing over printed text in Yahoo, but again the cursor was in its text form.
3) Retrospective checks of messages and syslog show no suspicious messages at the time of the freeze.
Any ideas?
