It appears that vivaldi sets itself to be a maximized window if it was previously maximized and then closed. The issue is that, unlike most windows that do this (discord, firefox, dolphin etc.) Vivaldi does this after it is opened and not during the opening process. This causes the maximization to be picked up as a user action and leads to Vivaldi becoming untiled.

There are a few solutions -

Disable "maximize when single window" and tile/float Vivaldi, then close it. Vivaldi shouldn't remember being maximized and should stay manipulatable by the engine.
Tile Vivaldi if it starts maximized, this can be done in a variety of ways. The untile/retile shortcut is most likely the best way, but the maximize/unmaximize shortcut can be used as well (just swap desktops quickly to rebuild the layout)
Disable remembering window state for Vivaldi, I wouldn't know how to do this but I assume it's possible somehow.

Try one of these solutions and see how it works for you. There will never be a fix to the root cause of this issue unless Vivaldi chooses to not start maximized.

Hmm, no luck Vivaldi seems to ignore the untile/retile shortcut (other apps work fine with it)

I tried setting some window rules to disable initial placement of the vivaldi window but all that does is open vivaldi floating un maximised

appernetly enabling wayland support fixes the issue. you can do that by setting vivaldi://flags/#ozone-platform-hint to auto or wayland. Vivaldi now tiles with the rest of my windows

To be fair, if the app runs fine on Wayland and X11 is not officially supported, this issue might as well be resolved.

Andres · Answer 5 · Sat Apr 20 2024 08:25:31 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

one caveat is this doesn't solve the problem 100% it still fails to tile I have manually occasionally grabbed it and tiled it by moving it to the the screen edge sometimes to kick in ill try to get a log of this

I'm guessing what happening is that vivaldi is opening floating by default sometimes, probably because it was floated previously and its remembering that.

the strange thing is I don't remember floating it...

@zeroxoneafour tiling seems to have broken on Vivaldi again my previous fix of manually tiling with the mouse no longer works polonium tiles windows behind Vivaldi its as if Vivaldi does not exist for Polonium

tried to get a log but polonium for some reason is no longer outputting to the journal
journalctl --user --no-pager -e | grep -i "polonium"

doesn't show anything I have left logging enabled in the polonium settings

this is with vivaldi ran as a native walyand app

EDIT:NVM it seems wayland support is broken on vivaldi currently. it is in fact still running with xwayland even when I force the Wayland flag

so is it not possible to fix this for when vivaldi run as a x11 app (vivaldi does not officially support Wayland)
