Opera Next build 1105 is just unusable
Hello,I know that Opera Next is not meant for stability, and I've been content with 3-4 crashes per day with previous builds. But the latest build of Opera Next (12.00.1105) crashes on just about any site, and there are serious graphical glitches in some occasions (pixel artefacts in the display area). Since yesterday, I already have 20-30 crash reports with the latest build. I had to downgrade to the stable Opera 11.51 so that I can do actual work.
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8
Computer: MacBook (year 2009)
Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
The crashes are definitely coming from the latest build, because the same settings and the same sites do not crash with the stable Opera 11.51.

I suppose you mean the comments in the Opera Desktop Team blog on hardware acceleration. Actually, it's only today that I found out the existence of this blog. Until now, I was using Opera Next without reading any "litterature". Maybe it would be useful if Opera Next contained a link to this blog, or showed release notes like many programs do. But anyway, that's another subject. For those reading, you can solve the instability in build 1105 by editing the advanced settings:
Try to turn off hardware acceleration by setting opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableHardwareAcceleration to 0, restart Opera, and see if the bug is still there. Not surprisingly, this turns off hardware acceleration, so remember to set the preference back to 1 after testing to enable hardware acceleration again (0=off, 1=auto, 2=force on).
