RSS feeds don't remember zoom when changing item in Opera 11.60

I use Opera to subscribe to several RSS feeds. I find the font on many sites too small for my taste so I've often set the zoom level to 120 % when browsing the items in RSS. This way all tabs I open from the feeds have a zoom level of 120 %.

This worked in Opera 11.52, but now after upgrade to 11.60 the zoom level is reset every time I select another item in RSS. This means that I have to set the zoom level manually for every single tab I open. I'd rather have kept the old behavior. Are there any workarounds for this?


I'm not sure if I'm making a duplicate post since this thread seems to mention the same problem: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1177212 . However, the topic of that thread is not very descriptive and it describes the problem in the context of emails, not RSS feeds.

I'm using Kubuntu Linux 11.10 (Oneiric) and KDE 4.

Hi,
I am having the exact same situation occur in Windows 7 with Opera as follows:

Build
1185
Platform
Win32
System
Windows 7
XHTML+Voice
Plug-in not loaded

Every time I go to the next feed message, the zoom is reset to a default value and CONTINUALLY REQUIRES CONTINUALLY RESETTING magnification with each step.
Could someone please tell me if there is a way to go back to the earlier STICKY magnification characteristic?
Thanks in advance!
So as not to clutter up the forum I would appreciate e-mail at the following address:

I have gone back to Version 11.52 Build 1100 until they get this fixed.

Also, I DON'T get the easy to copy URL under the article.
It is now hidden under a "read more" flag which means another mouse click every time to paste to email or notes.

I think they made too many changes for ASSUMED "snappier looks" at the expense of utility.

Also, the fonts are NOT as easy to read.

Just right-click the "Full Article" link and choose "copy link address". You can also drag it to a note.

Edit: I see what you're saying now. You use "copy to note" in the text selection menu. Yeh, you can't do that anymore.

I'd like to see this fixed too (the zoom problem originally reported at the start).

There's a separate problem, already present in 11.5x. We're allowed to have a default zoom different from 100% (preferences > webpages > page zoom), but not for mail and feeds. Even the default page zoom is different from 100%, new mail or feeds tabs are always at 100% (as well as webpage tabs opened from them). At the very least, this same default zoom should be used for both webpages and mail; or we should be able to define two separate default zoom levels.

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1139712

Now there's this separate bug that makes it impossible to work around this. Setting the zoom manually for each new tab was annoying enough, but now we would have to do it for each message, so we'll have to deal with the bad zoom. I hope they fix at least this regression really soon.

Exacly, bug is very annoying and makes RSS/Mail view hard to use for people with poor eyesight like me. Opera developers or some admin: please reply when we can expect this bug will be fixed. There is no new version yet and bug still exists. Please give us some information. I subscribed to this topic so let us know.

Ah ok sorry, yes I was wrong. Because I never used default zoom, only loosing zoom after switch to other email/message/rss entry was annoying to me, so I noticed only that change. So probable we must wait a lot of time like for 11.61 - to fix this in 11.52 or similar version.
