Opera 10.53 + Snow Leopard problems?

I thought this would be a good place for people to start posting problems they had who use these two Softwares.

My problem is a funky "fake maximizing" window in Opera. When I have two files open to work between (haven't tested more) in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and a minimized Opera window, the Opera window will maximize itself in front of one of my Pshop file windows when i try to do something between the two files, like dragging a layer from one file to the other for use in that file. - but not really, it just looks like it maximized, because if i click the Opera window nothing registers, the minimized thumbnail is still in the dock, and Pshop is still the "on-top" program, but if i click the thumbnail still in the dock of the window that SHOULD be minimized, then it will RE-maximize but for real, I am now working in Opera again and the thumbnail showing a minimized Opera window is gone. The only solution I have had is to close Opera when working with two (or more?) Pshop files at once.

I've got a few issues I haven't seen other people post yet:

1. When creating a bookmark, the folder selection drop-down doesn't have any indentation to indicate hierarchy. When you've got a lot of folders, this matters.

2. When you press Cmd-N in a space (an OS X virtual desktop) that does not have an Opera window already, Opera doesn't create a new window.

3. 10.53 crashes on the order of once or more per day. Granted, I've got 124 tabs spread across 10 windows, but I swear I got away with this before 10.52. It's using more than a gig of ram now, too, and it didn't do that before either. There's also more beachballing than there used to be, generally.

4. The fancier quicksearch is also slower. It seems to be substantially slower on javascripty pages, like google results.

5. Opera has problems with jumping to the foreground. I know this one's already been reported, commented on, etc., but thought I'd mention it anyways.

Yes, jumping to the foreground, it just did it again while i had skype open and "on top"

These are the two problems I've also met.

For 3., I didn't do anything for the crash and very true, the high memory consumption is very surprising with 10.53. We were not used to that. How do you manage 124 tabs in 10 windows?

For 5. the problem stopped when I installed Growl. Weird but true.

We are aware of the problem with Opera maximizing with an unresponsive window. It's fixed in later snapshots. If you want to try it out, see the <a href="http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/">the Opera Desktop Team blog</a>. Later snapshots also have stability improvements.

As mentioned in the thread, enabling Growl for notifications also solves the problem. Not so weird since the notifications were the culprits, stealing focus back to Opera. :-)

I've also found out that if the "show thumbnails when hovering over tabs" option is checked, a thumbnail appearing can sometimes bring Opera forward.
