What is feedback for?

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=527272&t=1271834480&page=1#comment5206471

Definitely not for this. Been a Opera user since 2x but with attitude like this, time to do a sudo apt-get --purge remove opera and time for sudp apt-get install googlechrome

bye bye Opera.irked

Well I am sorry you feel that way and if I offended you I apologise but what more is there to say?? Another 5 people to say they have this on their distro and another 3 to say they haven't. It gains nothing. This is a development build. It has issues, they will be fixed. The initial report is indeed very useful and I appreciate you bringing it up but after that, once acknowledged if no further information is needed I don't see the point of repeating the same issue ad nauseam when it is known we plan to fix it.

If that response ticked you off - good riddance, don't come back, good luck with google's support team ( I pity them ).

Wow, seriously? He just said it will be fixed before the final release and if you would please stop bringing it up all the time.

So now getting a detailed and respectful explanation from an Opera employee is a reason to be angry not only at the employee but at the browser too...

The only reason I reported the bug is because its a forum and therefore as a long time Opera user, I feel that feedback is what makes this browser the best it is. Somehow I felt that my post from very beginning attracted a sort of hostile attitude. Every release brings fixing of older bugs so I would test this and report back to say that the bug still exists, ad nauseam or not, the team needs to know for their own sake. Crashing on saving images on a Linux distro which is the most widely circulated is nothing to ignore really.

From what I understand, every new alpha or beta release brings its own caveats which is outlined with the release, nowhere do I see written 'Crash on saving image on certain distros' ever mentioned. If that was the case, why would I or others even bother to post the bug report when we are aware that it exists by the developer's own admission. Initially you tried to make it look like a one off situation, then others using Ubuntu reported and you acknowledged it to be a glib specific issue which you admitted at the Opera developer's blog. Nowhere has it been specifically mentioned and I have been following and installing Opera 10.5x since the first alpha.

Fine, there would be no more bug reports from me period, good luck with your development. My opinion on Opera being the best browser won't change, it remains so and thats why I paid for it when it was paid, I stuck with it when others wrote it off and I see version 10.5x as a kick ass browser which has again proved its mettle as it has done in past time and again.

@Arup65: "Every release brings fixing of older bugs so I would test this and report back to say that the bug still exists, ad nauseam or not". You don't need to do this. The first time is enough unless we specifically ask people to check, or if an issues is marked as fixed in the changelog and it is not totally fixed. At the moment there is too much duplication of information in the comments of snapshots, which actually makes our job harder in terms of finding new issues. This is why all the last few snapshots have specifically asked people not to repeat issues that they have already reported.

"Initially you tried to make it look like a one off situation". I'm sorry if you took it this way but this was not the intention.

P.S. We fixed the issue now anyway: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2010/04/23/windows-and-mac-rc5-plus-unix-fixes

Of course if people do still see the crash in that build (where we state it is fixed) we would appreciate people commenting if it is not.
