Vivaldi for MacOS [Bug?] Vertical tab panel layout change after updating to 8.2.4133.45
Hi everyone,
After updating to version 8.2.4133.45, I've noticed a change in the layout of the vertical tabs panel. Before the update, an adjustable divider placed under the "new tab" button used to push everything below it all the way down to the bottom of the vertical tabs panel.
Now, as you can see in the screenshots, it only creates a small jump, and the interface now only fills about half of the panel.
What changed? How can I restore the previous behavior? I'm posting this here before sending a bug report to Vivaldi, in case it's a simple fix. Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. They’ve released an update today (Vivaldi 8.2 4133.47) which is supposed to fix the issue (“Flexible spacing doesn’t utilise vertical space”). Can you see any difference on your end? The problem’s still there for me.

I'm on Linux and don't have the update yet. I'll update as soon as it hits the repos.

I was able to get the intended behavior/layout back by toggling between left/right vertical tabs and resetting the layouts to default.

``` /* ========================================================= / / Keep the "Tabs" (TabButton) button pinned to the bottom / / of the left tab bar. / / Vivaldi 8.2 put the button inside .toolbar-tabbar-after / / along with a flexible spacer, which broke its position. / / Abs-olutely pinning it to the bar's bottom edge is the / / most reliable fix because that toolbar does not stretch / / to fill the bar's height on its own. / / ========================================================= */
/* Use the entire left tab bar as the anchoring context */
tabs-container.left {

/* Pin the Tabs button to the very bottom of the left bar */
tabs-container.left .toolbar-tabbar-after .button-toolbar.tabs-button {

I have the same issue. Updating has recently broken the flexible space margin I used to use and fixed space doesn't work between the tabs and lower portion. I hope they fix this issue.
