Opera 10.53, OS X: back and forward mouse gestures show popup menu (thus, are barely usable)

Under Mac OS X 10.6.3, I updated Opera 10.10 to 10.52 and then it updated itself to 10.53. Besides expected javascript glitches (apparently caused by the new interpreter), one thing bothers me a lot. I am very addicted to back/forward mouse gestures (when you hold the right mouse button and the click left mouse button to go back, and vice versa to go forward), and in Opera 10.53 that gesture opens the right click popup menu every time, which is very frustrating, so I'm seriously considering moving back to 10.10.

Interestingly, there's no such bug in Windows version.

Is that a known issue? Is it going to be fixed in reasonable time?

Thanks.

Is it enabled on your Mac? opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableMouseFlips

Yes, the gesture is enabled and it actually works, but every time I release the right mouse button when performing the gesture, the right click menu pops up.

I definitely second that! OSX 10.5, ppc, opera 10.53 (and 10.52).

I'll add my confirmation as well. It's annoying the hell out of me.

Opera 10.53 and OSX 10.6.3

I've got OSX 10.4.11 on a PowerPC G4 and mouse gestures don't work at all here using Opera 10.51/3. Pity, since it is this feature that made me become a fan of Opera. I hope it will be fixed soon. wait

Yeah, let's hope so. It worked before, so it should be quite easy to fix *crossing fingers*...

I installed 10.10 back. This bug and the frequent stupid "opera:crossdomainerror" were driving me nuts.

Being an Opera fan since 8.x (or even 7.x?), I find 10.5x to be the most dubious release ever.

Can anyone please confirm is that is fixed or not in 10.60? I am still on 10.10 and had hard time preventing it from auto-updating to 10.53..So don't want to start that all over again smile
