Shift 127.8.0 | Released 2024-11-14

  • Updated

Bugs Fixed πŸ›πŸ”¨

  • Improved Omnibox Focus Behavior: Fixed an issue where the omnibox would lose focus when shifting between the omnibox and the general page or when unlocking Shift. The omnibox now retains focus as expected, even after reopening Shift from a minimized state, ensuring a smoother browsing experience.
  • Tray Icon Functionality Update: Fixed an issue where both left and right clicks on the Shift tray icon opened the context menu. Left click now correctly opens or brings forward the Shift window, while right click continues to display the context menu, improving usability and alignment with standard app behavior.
  • Fix for "Continue Where You Left Off" Setting: Resolved an issue where App tabs with extraData did not retain their state when Shift was restarted with the "On startup > Continue where you left off" setting enabled. App tabs now reopen correctly, ensuring a seamless experience.
  • On Startup Multi-Page Fix: Resolved an issue where the "On Startup" feature would only open the first added page. Shift now correctly opens all configured startup pages, ensuring the feature works as intended.
  • App List Tooltip Fix: Addressed an issue where tooltips did not function correctly for duplicate apps in the app list and resolved the error it caused. Additionally, restored the intended sliding behavior of tooltips between items, ensuring a smoother and more consistent user experience.
  • Omnibox URL Display Fix: Resolved an issue where the omnibox did not correctly update to display the HTTPS protocol after a URL was loaded. The omnibox now accurately reflects the updated URL,Β 
  • Improved Omnibox Editing Behavior: Fixed an issue where deleting the entire URL in the Omnibox while editing would reset it to the currently loaded page's URL. The Omnibox now retains the cleared state, allowing for seamless URL editing, ensuring clarity and correctness.
  • Zoom Controls Design Fix: Corrected an issue where recent updates to the text input component caused the input field to overflow, hiding the minus and plus buttons. The text input is now properly sized and centered, ensuring all controls are visible.
  • Bookmarks and Password Import Fix: Resolved an issue where bookmarks and passwords were not being imported during the initial installation of Shift, and subsequent attempts to import history and bookmarks from "Account and Services" also failed. Imports now function as expected.

Other Notable Updates πŸ‘€

  • Enhanced Tab Management: You can now right-click on any tab to access a convenient menu with options to open a new tab to the right, reload, duplicate, or close the tab. Keyboard shortcuts for reload and close are also displayed for quick reference. This feature streamlines tab management, saving you time and making navigation more intuitive.
  • Restore Tabs After Unexpected Shutdown: Added an option to restore tabs after an unexpected shutdown. Upon reopening Shift, users will now see a dialog to restore their previously active tabs, ensuring they can seamlessly pick up where they left off.
  • Expanded Tooltip Support for Improved Usability: Tooltips have been added across the platform to enhance clarity and navigation. Key updates include:
  • Bookmarks: Tooltips now appear when hovering over bookmarks or items in a bookmark flyout menu.
  • Omnibox Buttons: Tooltips added to buttons to the right of the omnibox, including "Extensions," "Downloads," "Zoom," "Passwords," and "Settings."
  • Security Elements: Tooltips for the lock button display "Safe Connection" or "Unsafe Connection," while the tune button shows "View Site Information."
