Issues while using google sheets

Brave Browser Desktop Support

1

Description of the issue:
Google sheets functionalities don’t work anymore since today (24/09/2024):

  • calendar displaying when double clicking a date
  • open multiple link at once (for youtube links)
  • preview of an embedded link in a cell not showing
  • open the window to resize a column
  • certainly more functionalities of the same kind (ones opening new tabs or pop-up window)

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. go to any google sheet
  2. try using any functionality mentioned earlier

Expected result:

  • double clicking a date should display a calendar
  • when there’s link in several cells, “open links” should open them all at once up to 50
  • when hovering a cell with an embedded link, a preview window should open
  • column resizing button (in right click) should open said setting in a pop-up window

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Current release as of 24/09/2024 at 16:30 CEST

Additional Information:

  • I’m on Windows 11
  • These functionalities do work on Edge where I tested them so it surely comes from Brave and not sheets
  • I tried disabling addons and Brave shield, the issue doesn’t come from there either

Edit: Google sheets works just fine again (the 26/09/2024), this post can be closed.

Broken again as of this morning (14th Oct 2024) with Brave v1.70.126

I’m particularly noticing it with:

  • calendar not displaying when editing a date
  • link previews not showing (so can’t open links)

Again, all works fine in Edge

I had a similar issue a while back where the calendar feature wouldn’t show up when I tried to edit events. I found that sometimes clearing the cache or updating the browser can help, so maybe give that a shot.

As for the link previews, that can be a pain, especially if you’re trying to share stuff quickly. I ended up switching to Edge for a bit, too, just to keep things moving. On a side note, while dealing with all this tech stuff, I was organizing some data in Excel for a small project and came across some excel formulas and functions examples. Those resources were super helpful for sorting everything out efficiently!
