Opera and Flash video problem
This dosent happen all the times.
It happens when I click on a youtube video and while the video is loading and if I press the BACK button or click any other link (half loaded video), opera still continue to load the remaining video. And if i click any other video it becomes slow because of previous video loading.
You can try and see yourself.

The opera flash plug-in had this problem in any site, not just youtube. But If I'm not mistaken, it was solved quite a while ago. Sorry for the stupid question but, are you using the latest opera version and the latest flash player plug-in version?

I've come across this issue as well with Opera 9.50 beta 2 and the latest Flash plugin. Has it been posted to the bug tracker?

An Opera rep in the beta blog confirmed that it has been reported, multiple times, in fact. I really don't think it's a 9.27 issue though, contrary to the post before last.

Re 9.2x, not that I've seen myself or I've seen reported by anyone other than you, however, so I think we can agree that it's a lot harder to reproduce there. In 9.5, it's just the opposite: I've only seen one person say it doesn't reproduce for them.

Any idea when this will be addressed? It is a major functionality issue due to the high amount of internet video using the flash format (Youtube, CNN, etc...)

Latest snapshot also encounters this problem. Like the previous poster said, when will this be addressed?

Check out Build 10048:
Fixed bug where plugins would continue streaming after closing a tab
Seems fixed to me. Downloading stops within 2-3 seconds.
