For the 2nd time, the Vivaldi browser seems to have blacked out the screen for any page related to my other instance kolektiva.social. I cannot go to my own page with the browser but all others show up. This is the second time this has happened in as many weeks and the plethora of other glitchs, leaves me regretting my article praising Vivaldi. The only support I received is a thank you for submitting a bug report. I had to uninstall to fix this problem originally.

Sorry to hear about your troubles with Vivaldi.
When a site is "blacked out" in the main window, does it open normally in a private/guest window or new user profile? Wondering, whether an extension or setting might cause the issue.
Re: translations, how long were the texts you tried to translate? Automatic language detection doesn't work on single words and short sentences.
Please describe the issue with toolbar customization in more detail.

Thank you for your response.
To my knowledge, it does not open in private windows either. The last time it occurred was after clearing my browser history, however, my Vivaldi.social account and every other page loads without issue. The page that's blacked out does appear in other browsers without issue as well. regarding your query about extensions, I've yet to install any, other than themes. Ivan tried changing seems to see if that would help, but it did not.

In regard to the translator: I'm very thorough in my methods. Initially I thought the text was too long so, I tried it with one word, a few words and a couple of sentences respectively. I received a message saying the language was not detectable.

In regard to ttoolbar customization: after dragging icons to the top and sidebar, the icons that were visible, vanish when I click "done".

The misspelling of the word "toolbar" above is a problem exclusive to Vivaldi when using my voice recognition software. No other browser misspells words and the frequency of the issue seems to be increasing. The word pen is misspelled every time with an extra "N"– "penn". I use a professional voice recognition software as an accommodation to my limb difference disability. Sometimes it actually prints gibberish instead of a word. I've made several spelling corrections in this communication but, left one as an example.

When attempting to sign in to my Vivaldi account using the icon in the sidebar, the password manager does not auto fill the username and password fields for me. When opening a regular window to Vivaldi.social, the password manager operates correctly. In both regular windows and the sidebar, the checkbox "remember me on this device", has never remembered me. if that feature function properly, it would offer a remedy to the issue about the password manager not functioning for sidebar sign in.

Unfortunately, this is all I can remember right now but I believe I encountered other issues as well.
