mime/type;version, then, if not found for viewer without version identifier.

User interface:
- Pressing . or / starts an inline find without a search field. 1 second timeout or force with Escape.
- Fix for starting with commandline URLs in SDI and "no windows" (an extra blank window would be opened).

M2:
- Fix (for new installs) for labels/attachment views not showing hidden messages.

Kiosk:
- Do not load m2 in kiosk mode if no-mail-links has been specified.
- Do not allow to change toolbars using drag-n-drop when in kiosk mode.

And more minor fixes.

Woohoo !!! ...
Looks stable

- Fix for blinking on news.walla.co.il

OMG.
You are almost there(!), now the blinking is gone and clicking on the links is perfect but... when hovering on the affected area, the vertical text (I think it's an image...) on the left disappears.

See attachment.

Beta time!
Thx a lot, guys!

Bah, here's the attechment...

almost.jpg

Wow!!! The chinese users are gonna go into raptures They disliked beta12,.. thanks!~

13 sounds like the chinese word for lucky + prosperous,.. hope this version will live up to its chinese meaning and premise.

Pressing . or / starts an inline find without a search field. 1 second timeout or force with Escape.

This works on links as well, which can then be activated with the spacebar. And F3 goes to 'Next'.

Eat your heart out, "type as you type" fans

awesome!

chinese characters displays problem still not fix,
this bug sine in opera 7.10

Another one already!? Woah. *downloads*

Jor, while waiting to download (bah, dialup!) - can the find-as-you-type restrict to just links? I think . and / should respectively search all-text / just links for more focus of the search

Can someone explain this . or / feature? I don't get it.

I have a lot of work due for Monday. Why do you make this to me?

*downloads

works ok.
Still it seems like
cartoonnetwork.co.uk will never work.
I posted pictures..
Nobody even looked..
Oh well.
Im going to have to use IE every time i want to vist CN.

Hooray! bug #121243 is fixed! But #125206 is a problem again..

P.S. How do you get the next match in "find-as-you-type"?

non-troppo - nah, it's just a new way to access inline find (no more need for a search box, I can minimize my toolbar even further!).

Keyboard ini entry:
/ = Find Inline, 1



nant -- press / or . and type a word you want to find in the page. It will jump to and highlight the first match.
So it is inline find without the need for a search box.

cesium -- as I posted, F3. Just wait one second after finding the first match and you can use it.

. works, / doesn't (at least on a German [qwertz] keyboard)..

Edit: Correction - "/" on the numerical keypad does work, the one on the main keyboard (located above the 7 on German keyboards) doesn't

Vetinari - does on mine…

Are you using the correct keyboard layout in your OS?

Thanks jor, didn't notice. But F3 doesn't work here...

Update: Nevermind, didn't wait enough time. But why the delay? F3 is not a legitimate character in search strings..

cesium -- are you sure you've waited about a second? Anything you type (including the function keys apparently) inside the one second period after getting your first succesful match is used for inline find, so you have to wait until it expires. Or press ESC before you F3.

Now that's interesting... "/" on the numerical keypad does work, "/" as "shift & 7" doesn't, but "/" as "caps lock & 7" does, although caps lock should't have any effect on other symbols than letters.
Can anybody confirm this behaviour?

IMHO the page looks fine, where exactly is the problem?

OK, so I'm off to the wish-list to ask for specifying only links or all text. I still love this feature though!

By the way, vey neat special effects when you do the . search - brings up a small box with your search text, then slides/fades it out of view. I agree that it should NOT count F3 as search text, but as it's supposed function.

With links searching, it's become an instinct for me to press cltr+6 (focuses the links panel in my keyboard config), and start typing. Then tab(, arrows,) and enter to launch the right link

I was just gettin familiar with Opera Beta 12...and now 13 :|
*Goes to change his modem and buy a ADSL or sumthin !!*

Nice work! Beta12 was already much better than beta11

The new urls from "Help - On the web menu" are not available.

[url]http://redir.opera.com/www.opera.com/
and so on...

i hope this beta will be more stable than beta 11...

It is.

I can confirm Kawime's bug.

Niiiiiiice!!!!!! it is a lot more stable than the previous betas, and I see some big improvements in displaying different kinds of drop down menus!

It seems that the final version is very very close! *hoping*

The problem is that how do you refocus the 'quick-find' in the links panel - after using it once to go to a link it still contains the old search, and ctrl+6 doesn't focus the quick-find again automatically. This makes it useless for extensive use. Maybe I'm missing a key command / customisation to focus the links panel quick-search (then you'd have to delete before making a new search). Anyway all of this is still taking many more more keystrokes than ". searchterm 'space'"!!!

Display:
- Fix for images that sometimes didn't repaint when animation was disabled.

Not quite sure. Some images don't load/display.
See my "image loading bug - please confirm" thread.

nontroppo -- shift+tab with focus on the links list jumps me back to the 'quick find' box.

The bug I reported about the zoom function crashing Opera still hasn't been fixed.

BTW how come the option to disable the progress bar in the prefs menu has been removed???

Great job Opera folks.

Each beta keeps getting better and better.

Oh cool

Just one new bug that I noticed. all the help->opera on the web links doesnt work

Working weekends guys ? should we expect a release version on monday ?

-Znore

The 'On the web menu' entries have all been prefixed with redir.opera.com for some reason.

I suspect they'll all become redirected entries in the next beta (or final?).

Beta 12 for Linux was just posted, and now beta 13 comes for Windows... It looks like you are competing witht he Linux group.

Downloading b13 now. Just noticed that download window in b12 still displays '?' at "Size", "Progress" and "Time" feilds. This was not the case befor beta 9 or 10.

EDIT: Damn, can't get beta 13 using beta 12 - download reaches some point at normal speed (56k modem), then then it just stops. At first attempt is stopped at 2.8 MB on the second run it stopped at 386kb. Will try diabling firewall....

EDIT 2: Bingo! Firewall (ZoneAlarm) somehow interfered with downloading. Now "Size", "Progress" and "Time" fields show the correct values. Will see if I will manage to complete the download...

EDIT3: However unlikely it sounds - it is the Ad blocking part of ZoneAlarm Pro that interferes with Opera's downloading! The file has been downloaded sucessfully now that AdBlocking was disable while the rest of ZoneAlarm was set to maximum security.

very old bugs still not fix...

bug with HotList/Info, click on "Security" => JavaScript Error (don't remember number)

bug with second level of menues. If move mouse-cursor very fast on menues, sometimes current not selected... (don't remember number)

bug with colgroup. sample look in attach. (don't remember number)

colgroup.txt

and added new...

in menu "Help/Opera on the Web/" some menues (Support/Community) link to not worked pages!
(N 126812)

- Fix for images that sometimes didn't repaint when animation was disabled.


Excellent, I was having problems with gifs repainting in previous beta.

Loading of page hangs

Loading of the Intel site (www.intel.com) still hangs (problem was already mentioned and reported as fixed before).

Opera displays a 100% load status of the document, but there are still lots of images to download

See attached screenshot.

wrong "More Items"

Show menu "More items", but more items not exist in bookmarks (N 126813)

Loads fine here (beta12)... still looks like shite, but I didn't really expect more from Intel

Well I have no idea if this is new to beta 13, but when trying to play this Shockwave game, the "play game" button simply won't work... Hmpf.

Hmmm. Do you guys work all day and night? Hey, take a rest! WE need a rest to test... (fine, that rhymes)
Anyway, great work guys!

Quote from the changelog:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"M2:
- Fix (for new installs) for labels/attachment views not showing hidden messages."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


What does it mean---"for new installs"?

Does that mean if you copy over your mail folder from your previous beta, that this fix will not work?

Problems still here at b13

Bug 126132: "Opera Problematical with HP installed screen fonts". This one's going to affect a lot of users - basically anyone with an HP laser printer.

Bug 124465: "Z key causes spurious crash"
In beta 12 and 13, I still get certain situations where a particular tree of website history causes Opera to crash when traversing back through the tree with Back / "Z" key. If I then load up Opera and go "continue from last time", going back will again crash Opera. However, if I start a fresh copy and go to the same sites, back will usually NOT crash Opera. Something in the "continue from last time" state makes the crash repeatable when it does happen.

Keep up the good work!
