Dragging images in 10.53

There seems to be a bug in 10.53 when it comes to dragging image in a webpage. In v. 9, these feature was flawless, but now, the page element selected by the user for dragging is sometimes not what opera drags. Go to any site with an image in it. If the image is at the top of the page, the image can be dragged correctly. But now scroll down and try to drag the same image. Opera will 'grab' and drag some other page element. See the attached image for example. I tried to drag the 'pheonix' but something else got dragged.

Is this a known/reported bug?Untitled.png

I've noticed this a lot. I hope it gets fixed in the next update.

I often use it to check if a large picture on a page is one/many images, so when I save the picture(s) I know if I have to right click in one or more places to get all parts.

Yep, noticed the same thing, still happening in 10.54 (on Win XP in my case). Scroll on a page with an image, then click and drag the image, and the representation of the image while dragging will be a portion of the webpage, but not one matching the image. If you do the same thing again (without scrolling in-between), it seems to work (i.e. a semi-transparent version of the actual image is dragged around this time).

A forum search brought up only this post, so I'd say it should be reported as a bug.
