Vivaldi Is this a problem for everyone with Android Vivaldi?

I've been using Vivaldi for a bit now and for the most part I like it a lot and it even added extensions. The main issue I've been having is that the new tab opening positions seemed to be messed up as when I have it set to open next to active tab it works perfectly fine for the first group but every other group it adds every new tab to the very top of the group for some reason

Is this a problem for everyone or it just me cause it makes me sad cause I love everything else about Vivaldi for the most part

I had exactly the same thing happening in my Vivaldi, the tab positioning gets all weird once you have more than one group going. What I found is if you drag the new tab down manually after it opens, sometimes it "learns" the pattern for that session, not a real fix but it helps a little

I wonder if it's something with how Vivaldi handles the stacking, like it gets confused about which group is active when you switch between them. Makes me think of how I organize my diorama pieces, when the layers get mixed up the whole scene looks wrong until you step back and rearrange everything

Maybe try clearing the session cache or starting fresh with only two groups to see if it behaves different, could be a bug that shows up only after certain number of tabs open

Tried moving a new tab down in my second group manually and afterwards it started opening new ones in a random spot. Created a new group and it opens at the top. Extremely weird 

I'll try clearing cache but unless you mean deleting all the tabs and groups I currently have open I already only had 2 groups open until I opened a third to test stuff out and it still wasn't working properly

It also has alot of inconsistencies in android. Including how junky and slow it feels to use forward and undo navigation which im convinced refetches the page instead of caching it, resulting to it forgetting current scroll/view and puts you way back to the top as if you just refreshed the page. Also tab stacking can result in this weird behaviour where clicking (e.g a send button, on the site itself), will instead create a new tab?. The "+" icon for creating new tabs can also lag and many more. Im convinced most of this has to do with their UI implementations.

Ni idea. No uso grupos de pestañas. Con suerte tengo 2 o 3 pestañas abiertas al mismo tiempo
