9.5 b9649 ( work in progress.. )

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2007/11/09/work-in-progress

Known bugs:

• Wrong cursor on form buttons and labels
• Plugins on UNIX might be even more broken - big changes coming up... (Do not bother filing plugin bugs on UNIX)
• Still no sparc builds
• [BUG 296670] Animated gif images get corrupted on Windows
• [BUG 267632] Images don't display when printing
• [BUG 213115] Queued mail is sent at the next check, instead of waiting for manual action
• Opera runs on Windows 95 again! (but there are still some bad issues, be patient)

--

• [BUG 296723] GMail topbar is broken - http://futurama.googlepages.com/Picture34.png

Note, the image loading bug is not fixed either. I'm still checking on the others ...

The Linux build (1662) is still losing multiple file extensions too. That is, if a file type lists several file extensions (say, image/jpeg which used to list jpg, jpeg and jpe) it will now only list the first extension. You can add the others back, but they will be gone after a restart. (Yes, this was a bug in 1652, no one has said whether Windows or Mac builds have similar issues ...)

There is still a problem with http://www.text.plusgsm.pl/sms/ - "Wyslij" button (Send) still dissapears like in earlier betas of 9.5

Fixed wrong context menu shown for selected text that is a link

Woot! Finally! That was really one of the most annoying bugs.

Love testing ^^
- Lightbox FINALLY works perfectly again, even better then on other browsers (IE7, FF2, Safari), less screenlag
- No more screenlags while scrooling up and down with scroolers on transparent PNG images on websites

Still, not fixed: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=206279

I even got this on a clean XP SP2 install (all updates) with a clean Opera 9.5 beta! Why is this ignored? Can't you have a look at it?

At least someone tell me what could cause this, it may be some of my Windows settings, although I don't think that that would cause the filename to be set to the file names of PHP scripts that hand out file downloads to browsers, like it's said in that thread... Anyway I've set my XP to look as Win2000-ish as possible... and unhid all system files, file extensions, etc... so if there's any Windows UI setting that could cause Opera to want to save a wrong file name, tell me, because I don't want to list all my Windows settings (I don't use any third party UI enhancers, it's just a normal XP with all the "classic" looks).

PS: Yes, it's still not fixed in 9649...

opera is opening links in the backgound background. is there a way to revert to the old behaviour?

http://www.meshcomputers.com/ menus still not working --> regression from 9.24 / working on all other browsers

pedro_s: It's site problem, not Opera problem. If you set mask as FireFox, then it's working.

On a clean install of Opera & Vista : Opera still crashes when refresh a website with flash or clic on a tab bouton ...
I sent a crash log files to the bug report for the 9.5b build but no change with this last build

www.mapy.cz still not works correctly

Random crashes are still very frequent (Win XP, 9649). Starting with the previous weekly, Opera rarely runs more than 20 minutes, sometimes crashes after less than a minute.

well, but the new context menu isn't realy good either

"go to web address"? introducing a new expression?
please, i want to back get the whole menu including the options to choose open in the background tab/window etc and i can't believe to be the only one.

edit: or do i just see an older version of it not recognizing that this "go to web address" has been there for a long time? *shame*
thx4help

"Go to web address" has been on the context menu for selected text (the "Hotclick menu") for some time. A bug in the latest build prevents the %t parameter from working, you might (maybe) be able to use %T instead. See the thread about %u not working.

thx for your answer but i couldn't use the information because i just don't understand it
nevertheless i don't like the menu (do you?) and i hope it's getting changed.

edit: well, let's go on with this discussion in the other thread.

if using css like this:

input
{
border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; 
background: #ffFFff; 
padding: 6px; 
color: #333333; 
}

checkboxes are not displayed correctly- you cant see if its checked or not....

@ jfwild:

When using that CSS code, is ...
a) the check box itself visible, but the check mark not
... or is ...
b) the check box as a whole invisible?

I'm just asking because I recently reported, that on some Web sites check boxes are missing and I wonder whether that could be the reason for it.

This seems to also affect file naming:

- open http://my.opera.com/mystyle/blog/index.dml/tag/Geldof%20sisters
- save a random image: the image is shown with extension .jpeg and saved with extension .jpeg
- save the same image again: Now the image is shown as .jpg in the "Save As" dialog box, only .jpg files are listed.
When you click OK, the image that was saved first (extension .jpeg) will be silently removed, the image will be saved with extension .jpg.
- save the same image a third time: The image is again shown as .jpg in the "Save As" dialog box, only .jpg files are listed.
When you click OK, the image that was saved recently (extension .jpg) will be silently overwritten wirh the actual one.

I did not manage to provoke a single warning about a file that is about to be overwritten. Can this warning be switched off or is it a(nother) bug?

No bug report filed yet because this may me a part of the abovementioned bug in 1662 and 1652

And just to assure you:

Version      9.50 Beta 2
Build        1662
Platform     Linux
System       x86_64, 2.6.24-rc1-git10_d1
Qt library   3.3.8
Java         No Java Runtime Environment installed

Have fun
D.

Actually, I changed my extensions so that JPEG images are always saved as *.jpg, but if you haven't altered Preferences > Advanced > Downloads then *.jpeg would be the default extension (it was the first extension in the original list of 3, "jpeg,jpg,jpe"). The rest of that sounds similar to the problem Windows users have been having with file extensions changing if you re-download a file.

As far as not giving you any warning, that's probably something to do with saving images now being in Transfers. Transfers sees that you're retransferring the same file and deletes the previous transfer (though I haven't seen it do that in the past). In other words, if between saves you had gone to Transfers and used "Remove transfer" then you should get the warning.

its a)

Okay, thanks. Than it's a different issue than the one I reported.

Had Opera crashing on me quite frequently (all from using it for a few minutes up towards and hour but that was pushing it) so decided to try to troubleshoot what might cause it by removing certain options and for me it seem to be the reloading of the Speed Dial's. Had sever of them set to once an hour (custom) and 2-3 where on 30 min.
Once I set them all to "Never" it has not crashed at all...logging about 4-6 hours.

I just tried: No warning after cleaning up transfers.

But closing Opera and restarting it, then trying to save an existing file creates the warning. Only then both buttons, "Yes" and "No" are grayed out. *giggle* All I can do is to click the x and dismiss the popup window.

Clicking on the window to focus it, then clicking on the button desired will also work, but yes they need to work on making sure the warning has focus so that you don't need to click twice.

Since 9623 I have a lot of empty messages in my mailbox and I cannot delete them.

First clicking on a non empty message should make the empty messages deleteable.

I'm using this beta. After a crash, I recieved a dialog as it shown in the image attached. I reinstalled Opera but it was still there. Anybody can solve this. Thanks in advanced.

What image?

Didn't do it for me...

Didn't for me either. I finally (several versions ago) exported all my mail, cleared my mail folder, recreated my mail accounts and imported all my old mail. Since then, no problem.
