one more (mid)weekly

By Claudio Santambrogio. Wednesday, 13. December 2006, 10:09:09

phishing, WEEKLY

One more (mid)weekly with mainly Fraud protection related fixes - and a fix for horizontal scrollbars on Adobe.com

Changelog:

Several improvements and fixes to the Fraud Protection feature.
Scrolling left should only be allowed if RTL directionality is defined on HTML or BODY - this removes horizontal scrollbars on e.g. Adobe.com.
Several stability fixes.

Have fun testing - and as always, we would greatly appreciate valuable feedback on this week's builds.

Windows MSI
Windows Classic
Macintosh
Unix

Phishing, UNIX and plug-ins...New build available

nice，！

There is something wrong with CSS parsing in this build on http://kuratorium.kielce.pl
Sometimes during navigating through the page some style info become lost (font-family for example). I don't know what causes it.

opera:config#UserPrefs|ShowDeleteMailDialog DOES NOT WORK.....

That is set, but no confirmation dialog appears....

No confirmation asked before delete. I am not happy. This started with last build.

NTLM...........
Just don't want to comment. It still sucks....

Paul Skinner # 13. December 2006, 11:43

Goodness me! You fixed that horrid Adobe bug!

Thank you.

Rijk # 13. December 2006, 12:10

cranil7: that works here. You didn't forget to click the 'Save' button to svae you config changes?

operic # 13. December 2006, 12:11

Search still depends on WORD-BREAK !

Do Opera developers respect us, do they even read what do we write here ????????

XRock # 13. December 2006, 12:13

Thank's a lot! Nice to hear that adobe bug is fixed.

Evo2Me # 13. December 2006, 12:20

Why is it impossible to block the casino ads on http://torrentportal.com ?

cranil7 # 13. December 2006, 12:35

Your servers seem to have some problem. Getting 404 most of time.

I did save it.

Can see that in ini file. Still does not work. Can't figure out WHY... Will post ini here if you say so.

What else should I check. I had put the question in mail forums. but no reply.

rxbbx # 13. December 2006, 13:00

thnx.. lets try it..

Rijk # 13. December 2006, 13:11

@operic: not everything can be worked on an get fixed. At least, not all at once.

@cranil: I've no clue what could cause the difference between you and me. Anyone else who can't re-enable the delete-mail-warning using opera:config?

cranil7 # 13. December 2006, 13:43

Rijk.

Even complete new install does not work. I am surprised. Have no clue what's happening. Even setting it or taking it out. nothing works. What section in ini should be checked? And is it only in opera.ini or anything else too?

kennycrudup # 13. December 2006, 13:47

Damn ... I was hoping y'all would hold off 'till a Friday build so's some of the stuff I'd written about in the last weekly could be addressed.

operic # 13. December 2006, 13:50

@ Rijk:
this is very very old bug. i reported it on 22nd june this year...

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=144564

Rijk # 13. December 2006, 13:51

cranil7: the opera:config link you gave worked for me, I just checked the checkbox and clicked save and that was it.

Rijk # 13. December 2006, 13:58

@operic: that't not very very old. It is a real issue, but its resolution will probably have to wait for a later release.

arzafen # 13. December 2006, 14:07

I think there is a fraud protection bug here.
When I perform a search from the address bar such as
"g opera"
All entries on the results page give fraud site warning.

I did not get the warning when I searched from the search page

After I clicked "ignore this warning link", it does not give the warning anymore.

e2mtt # 13. December 2006, 14:49

http://www.townhall.com/ is unreadable... the front page is fine, but all of the articles are completly mis-formated.

Keep up the great work on all the new builds!

jonspencerbx # 13. December 2006, 14:56

@tsarhan, the flash plugin hasn't been included with opera since version 9.0 iirc. simply download and update yourself.

ytsmabeer # 13. December 2006, 15:11

The site http://www.livre.nl/ isn't usable.
I just looked in some older builds and this has been for some builds.

Just tested it on 9.00 and yes that build does it too

jonspencerbx # 13. December 2006, 15:17

@ytsmabeer, works fine here. What should be the problem?

Darken # 13. December 2006, 15:18

Cool, I will try this build. Thanx.

Evo2Me # 13. December 2006, 15:22

Lost CSS definition for http://www.spiegel.de. Instead of teh font they usually have it falls back to Times [on my machine, may be different on others].

So, the CSS-losing bug is confirmed.

ytsmabeer # 13. December 2006, 15:25

@ jonspencerbx:
The "laatste forumpost" isn't readable

look at mine screenprint

EDit:@Investor: indeed so it's an sniffer action

Investor # 13. December 2006, 15:26

@ytsmabeer : site works id'd FF

oru # 13. December 2006, 15:28

I still have two processes Opera.exe and a mail error after exiting Opera and launching it again in five seconds.
Windows Vista Ultimate.

jonspencerbx # 13. December 2006, 15:34

@ytsmabeer:
Site works fine ID'd as opera: http://files.myopera.com/jonspencerbx/albums/173763/livre.png

Rijk # 13. December 2006, 16:02

@oru: wait a few seconds more before restarting.

Rijk # 13. December 2006, 16:06

@tsarhan: the Opera installer doesn't include plugins anymore. By using the original installer from Adobe, you'll get separate update notices, which will be safer in the future. And we don't have to worry about which version to include, because Flash 9 doesn't work on all Windows versions (and it is getting rather big).

@arzafen: yes, we've seen that as well. Seems to happen mostly when you are logged in in Google, because they then use a redirect through www.google.com/url/ , which is apparently blocked. We'll have to fix this server-side somehow.

lexluthor5 # 13. December 2006, 16:09

I'm not sure if it's related to this build, but I'm no longer seeing the URL in my status bar when I hover over a link.

Anyone else?

EDIT: Nevermind. I changed to the default skin and it came back, then I changed back to the skin I use and it was still there. Weird.

FataL # 13. December 2006, 17:14

fix for horizontal scrollbars on Adobe.com

Great!

One more horizontal scrolling site: standards-schmandards.com
Has horizontal scroll bar in Opera 7, 8 and 9. None of other browsers have it.
Also something wrong with top margin of header -- in Opera 8 it's too big in Opera 9 it's too small.

Marcu5z # 13. December 2006, 17:20

Hi...
Sth. wrong with this page: http://www.dotsis.com/

andresruiz # 13. December 2006, 17:37

Okidoki

I hope the fraud protection work as you want very soon.

Don't spend so much time on it as you did with widgets. Focus more on compatibility issues that people reports all the time please.

I'll test this one.

Thanks a lot

Andres Ruiz

XmlHttpRequest allows loading blocked content! See page http://regolit.com/opera-xmlhttp/test.html with test page.

Is it bug?

ytsmabeer # 13. December 2006, 18:00

@jonspencerbx: writing this from opensuse(normal I use windows)
Fresh installed id' as Opera site is scrambled
id sa firefox site is ok

kyleabaker # 13. December 2006, 18:32

@csant
you're correct about the horizontal scrolling this time, haha. just kidding

. But running great! Seems stable so far...nice to see another build.

gorsov # 13. December 2006, 18:55

Bug-230879 is still there, but besides the report itself, I also suggested an *easy* fix, just not to loose the mailto functionality until the real fix is available.

The fix: since Opera doesn't handle mailto via DDE and there's no fix so far, I suggest changing the "file association" (when a user clicks Tools-> Preferences-> Advanced-> Programs-> Details-> select "mailto" -> OK)

the old way: via DDE (which currently does nothing);
the fixed way: %1 parameter is passed to Opera via plain command line, i.e. when the Windows shell encounters mailto protocol, it will execute "Opera.exe mailto:hello@opera.com?subject=hello".

Hope this helps

d.i.z. # 13. December 2006, 19:00

Nice build but problem with not applying part of the CSS gets a little annoying on some pages, for example http://zajec.net.

Do Opera devs know about this problem or we should try isolate that?
And it seems that "Refresh display" or refresh fixes such problems.

profiT # 13. December 2006, 19:01

@cancel
I think it's all right there. Blocked content should control Opera downloading pictures, not page script's requests. I guess...

klingoncowboy4 # 13. December 2006, 19:11

So far so good

I don't think so. Because in this case would be possible to bypass blocking system.

oru # 13. December 2006, 19:14

@Rijk: 7 to 10 seconds for unloading it's very long I think. Firefox and IE unload for a second maximum.
btw: sometimes Opera.exe doesn't closes at all - it stars to encrease the amount of using memory.

mgillespie # 13. December 2006, 19:24

I know this is still beta, and unfinished, but I am suprised the Fraud Protection icon still looks so ugly, and out of place, compared to the RSS and Widget icons.... Is it due a makeover?
