Opera 7.50 Crash Test Dummy Edition

Opera 7.50 Crash Test Dummy Edition

Hi,

Here's a new toy to play with for the my.opera.com and opera.beta fans:

[url]http://snapshot.opera.com/windows/w750p5.html (NOTE: new URL)

It's a limited newsgroup/my.opera release and may be less stable than
regular beta releases.


- What we need: Crash logs, reproduceable crashers, other information
about instability in general. We're particularly interested in stability
related to browsing.

- What we know: Known instability with newsfeeds and IRC DCC file sending.

- Where to discuss and report: opera.beta and my.opera.com.


Have fun!

Fixed bug "forgetting" toolbar customizations

I just went through all of the Preferences, and my Pagebar didn't turn up-side-down!

I don't like the new Pagebar activity.

I'd rather it to hide when there are NO windows. I mean I like the idea, but it just means I can't click on the tab, when ie: im in the mail maximized view, to close it anymore.. was useful. And don't tell me to untick "Show only when needed", because I don't want the icky empty bar

downloading....

No systray icon?

Still there for me...
Sure you got a chat or mail account?

Added newsfeed notification

very nice addition for me but I know there will be others who...

I'll give it a shot.

Emptying crash log folder...

The personal bar in this version is much fatter, in all skins. Is this by design?

Rats! I was hoping to see improved mail searching/quickfinding.

Carry on....

again 7.50p1?????????????????????????????????????????????

I'm a relative newbie to Opera. How can I copy my email messages/accounts/filters from one version to another without having to re-do everything?

I was using Beta 1 not trying version 3748.

The anchors(#) are dead again. Check Toby A Inkster's site.

"Fix for bug causing problems with moving tabs in the page bar" according to the changelog.......not much improvement can be seen for this here with a clean install of build 3748.

Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.

Fix for bug causing problems with moving tabs in the page bar

I don't think so... Still rearranging tabs corrupts '1' and '2' keys. Also when moving active tab between windows makes more than one tab "clicked".

My initial post I'm quoting here was based on observation of chat tabs/pages being open at the same time as regular web pages. Moving chat tabs amongst the web page tabs seems to be more of a problem than just having all web page tabs and moving them around amongst themselves only.

Me too. It is a great idea.

I installed 7.50b at the same location as I had the earlier version (7.21). I couldn't find my bookmarks or contacts anywhere. Then I was told (in a chat room, my first visit), that the new version automatically installs in a new folder. That means I had both an Opera 7 folder AND an Opera 75 folder. In the older version I found all my bookmarks and contacts, right where I left them. Hopefully so will you.
However, I had some problems importing those into Opera 7.50b. No problems with the contacts, that workt well, but with the bookmarks: Only folders were imported, no subfolders and so. That meant that I suddenly had one swedish and one english vesion of the same bookmarks, but nothing of what I myself had put in the folders! Maybe something for the developers to look into... ...or maybe I'll have to learn more.

Another problem: The wand gives me trouble.
Trying to log in (I tried Opera Web Mail) it worked very well the first time. Then I would check my other Opera Web Mail account (same page), but the user name and password squares locked, so that I couldn't change the accounts name.
Is this some new security thing or a bug, or am I just stupid?
I had to disable the wand to read the mail from all my accounts..

Close O7.5. Delete the new created mail folder and copy over your old one. Start O7.5 again.

Fixed bug causing menu and page bar to change after declining skin
No more upside-down tabs ! Yippieh !

All favicons seem to be working correctly!

HTML display of newsfeed messages isn't nearly as good in Build 3748 as it was in Build 3733.

I'm getting HTML code instead of images displaying, for instance.

You can compare the newsfeed messages from [url]http://z.about.com/6/g/email/b/index.xml for example in Build 3733 vs. Build 3748.

Progress bar now shows while customizing! Thats my pet.

Why is it called crash test dummy edition when there are stability fixes in the changelog?

Im W_A_I_T_I_N_G for the final release..........Soon , I hope....grrrrrrr

I think Opera is poking fun at us who download it......we're the dummies?

mmh my pagebar doesn't dissapear, if i have only one page....why?

Right click on page bar -> customize toolbars -> show only when needed

Now the page bar should go away when you only have 1 page.

enable "show only when needed"

strange thing i tried that at first for sure, but it didn't work...

tried again, now it works...

thx

Skandiabanken working again..

Ive noticed a few problems:

- It says RSS: Ready to connect. Even though I have *no* newsfeeds listed at all. Shouldn't this only show if I actually have a newsfeed account?



Matt

Also uh.

- When customizing the 'Progress Bar'.. you can't actually customize it... If you delete something for example, you can't get it back because it's not being treated as a toolbar or something.

Confirmed here too!!

I installed CTD to a different directory, and I note that the ads are showing. Is that a known thing? (My prior 7.5 versions all recognized that they were registered.)

Confirmed, and then when restarted Opera, sounds don't work (Preferences > sounds > enable program sounds ) on events I have set.

It looks like Opera's (7.23, 7.50) uploading causes lags, while Mozilla and IE on same machine (windows 2k/xp) don't. It has been tested on 8 machines/networks. Uploading via local or remote proxy lags too. Its irrelevant to winsock version (changed in ini). Setting up NetLimiter to the maximum upload speed for internet connection solves the problem.

Looking really good so far:up:

This might be the "almost" final. I have always liked the "hide page bar if only one page open" feature of Firefox. Great to see Opera now has that working.

Keep up the good work at Opera:cheers:

My CTD recognized my registartion.

hmm.... still continues the bug with the mainbar and text using windows native or standard skin

Crash:
Was in the transfers panel, right clicked and selected "remove all finished" and once I did, Opera had a runtime error. Tried it a 2nd time, and it didn't even give me a runtime error, it just died.

Only when?

Not certain what happened here yet. I had Opera set to show the pagebar only when needed, then had shutdown and later restarted Opera, and the page bar stayed hidden regardless of how many windows were open. Seems to be okay right now, but I wonder if it will stay that way ...
