New Labs build 1293 (OOPP + 64 bit)

The people at Opera Labs aren't sitting on their laurels either ... we have an updated version of the out-of-process-plugins build - including 64-bit builds for Windows and OSX.

On the Labs side, they just updated the article from December, hard to say whether some of the listed issues still apply. You can download the build from there, and you can comment either there or the Desktop team's article if you find issues.

Just giving this a try and it seems OK so far.
I gave up on the ordinary builds of 12 because all after 1213 crashed after updating 1213 - wouldn't stay open for more than 2 - 3 seconds.

Do you open with a saved session?
If so fixed in latest build, DSK-356130 (Crash on starting Opera with a saved session). smile

Nice one - thanks! I hadn't considered saved sessions as they seem so innocuous. 1301 is now running OK.

Fortunately I save the entire folder ("USB" installation) to E-drive, so was able to copy it back to D-drive and update, then copy bookmarks.adr across.

All I would like to do now is stop the crash dialogue opening after closing when I've had a complex browsing session.

1GB of RAM is really insane sad

This build crashes frequently. The previous OOP build was fine, although the plugin wrapper had to be killed manually sometimes after watching videos on YouTube.

Also, this UI corruption bug is still not fixed:
> open a page where wmode for a Flash embed is set to either "direct" or "gpu" (example - http://www.adamia.com/files/wmode-test/index.html )
> cover the Flash embed with some Opera dialog (example - copy/paste javascript:alert('Hello World') in the address bar)
> the Flash moves to the top left corner of the screen and causes display/UI corruption

Has anyone been able to use the e-mail part of these 64 bit builds? My ISP uses POP, and when I try to use e-mail, the whole program starts crashing on me. If I delete the e-mail account, the crashes stop. It did this in the 1211 build too.

FWIW, if I try using IMAP instead of the POP settings, it doesn't crash, but it doesn't load my mail either.

This version runs stable for the most part, but always crashes without fail as soon as the memory usage approaches 2GB. Memory has been tested, and no other programs run differently from expected. Is this a limitation for everyone else with this build or is there something unusual going on? To test quickly, simply open every link in sight in a new tab.

Yes, I consistently crash as soon as memory usage approaches 1.8GB. It looks like some aspect of the program is still limited to 2GB of virtual address space when running as a 64 bit process.
