In the last build there snuck in a pretty bad regression, so we ended up having to revert one of the layout fixes from yesterday.
Our favorite customer Santa has a deadline coming up so we are approaching release of Opera 9.10.

"Where's opera? (from where's wally?)" smile and hey! I'm in at 8!! smile

'wally' is 'only for entertainment' where 'about opera' is 'only for information' ...

Ok if you are just 'amusing yourself' but otherwise please state a *web page* that gives strange results...

You *do* want an Xmas pressie, dont you??????

i am just stating this again, so it won't get forgotten:

issues stay:

1. i have an urgent issue which is present since several versions.

i have an imapt account at my university. now i have to accept the certificate everytime i check for mails, the install button is always grayed out. i tried reinstalling opera from scratch and to install the certificates directly. they appear under the security settings and i uncheckt to warn me everytime i use the certificate.

why is that?

the warning reads:
"- The certificate for "mailgate.uni-weimar.de" is signed by the unknown Certificate Authority "BU Weimar CA". It is not possible to verify that this is a valid certificate"

problem is the certificate is allready installed. i installed them directly from the following links (at the bottom). up until i think 9.01 i could use these certificates without problems.

http://www.uni-weimar.de/cms/Electronic_Mail.1734.0.html

2. another thing like the image problem:

navigate to a new page. while it loads press the back button. then navigate forward with the forward button again to the half loaded page. the loading will not continue and the page stays half loaded.

@g4qb: Like I said the last time you mentioned the search bug, we know about the problem and why it happens.

hoho,great,well done

Thank You very much...!!! bigsmile

Tri M. NguyenTriMN Thursday, December 14, 2006 4:16:24 PM

Hi!

Thanks for a new build.

Well, I got one little Issue. Opera is using a lot of time to start on Mac OS 10.4.8... The Windows build pops up immediately but on my mac, it takes about 5-10 .. sometimes 20 seconds.

I've tried to empty cache and history.. even removed all Opera data from my mac and startup with plain standard Opera. Still slow.

Safari just pops up when I hit it. I'm in a hurry each morning and Opera is a kind of "eating my time".

yeye, Thanks anyway. Keep up the good work!



Edit: one more thing, it is taking a lot of CPU if a webpage got one little fancy object that're moving.

alf245 Thursday, December 14, 2006 4:42:48 PM

@developers:
Just wanted to remind you that the Linux build suffers from another pretty bad regression since build #339 (#333 is fine): Scrolling (Smooth scrolling turned off) with keyboard sucks when several tabs (even blank ones) are open and several buttons have been added to the address bar.

illiad Thursday, December 14, 2006 4:54:32 PM

chrislu: If you dont want it to be forgotten, put it in the community!!! up

Vladimyr IvanovVladimyr Thursday, December 14, 2006 5:29:47 PM

Please! Make correct download progress for big (above 4 GB) files! I like to use Opera with these smile

asif2bd Thursday, December 14, 2006 5:54:02 PM

Problem with java still alive.

I had not write earlier, so its my first.

I am facing great difficulties with java.

So, I'm assuming y'all just backed it out, instead of trying something new in its place?

What's the problem, asif2bd? I have none. J 1.5_09

olli Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:00:58 PM

kennycrudup: Yes we just reverted it

CRAFT Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:01:45 PM

Dear developers!
Big thanks to you for this amazing soft!!
In the ninth version don't suit me only 2 things. Please, solve these two problems:
1) Make an option in preferenses for switching-off of constant empty page, after the previous versions it is the reason of the big discomfort.
Absence of a dagger "To close" on this page throws into me confusion.
2) At some forums which are based a cursor phpBB (the official site - http://www.phpbb.com) at restart Opera automatically doesn't enter on a forum as was at 8.54 but only through a staff. Fix it!
PS: Sorry for my bad eng.... =(

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:04:41 PM

only a revert..oh well. Can't wait for 9.10..hohoho.

rxbbx Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:05:44 PM

Thnx Olli, merry christmas everyone and good 2008 smile

Kenneth Crudupkennycrudup Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:07:43 PM

OK, Olli- but now that someone else sees it and I guess there's an idea of what's going on, I'll just patiently wait. (I guess this issue is tricky to solve?!)

asif2bd Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:10:57 PM

I have also java run time environment installed on my page.

Example of my problem :

I am writing or editing on a blog site or site creator many time opera just cant load the interface(java tool) while i tried with Mozilla or their new Gran Paradiso could do most of the time.

Whats wrong?

olli Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:12:45 PM

kennycrudup: Risky, could cause several more regressions so we put it of for now, but will fix later no worries :-)

Ar1Pear1pe Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:14:01 PM

Great news.

Jimtoyotabedzrock Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:30:24 PM

Is there a way to prevent the Opera icon from appearing on the desktop of a Mac when its run. I almost had my friend switch over but he dislikes that the icon wont go away till a restart.

umrain Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:34:19 PM

CRAFT, I think you are looking for: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Tabs > "Allow window with no tabs".

Stefanlittlediamond82 Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:46:53 PM

It runs most of the time fine, but it takes a lot to load as reported by a previous user.

Why not changing the default theme for MAC OS X? Font Height and Tabs does not seem exactly match the look of the whole system.
I'm not a developer but aesthetically Safari or Camino are better.
It's a pity cuz I like opera features

Kc4 the Greatklingoncowboy4 Thursday, December 14, 2006 6:51:28 PM

Two points

1. What regression?
2. 9.10 is going to be released soon? Yipy! I ca nfinally do more than just a weekly upgade on the other machines. yes

Steve DarkenDarken Thursday, December 14, 2006 7:07:28 PM

+1, What regression? cheers

JorgeOsoSentado Thursday, December 14, 2006 7:24:44 PM

Why the dhtml menus doesn't display right in Opera?
Check the next site: http://www.petslandmexico.com/distribuidora/index.html
This site displays right in IE and Firefox.
In Opera as soon as I open the page it's show all the menues and it seems that the page is not working properly.
Why?

Could you please be a bit more precise? I currently have (*checks*) 357 tabs open, smooth scrolling off, use only the keyboard - and scrolling works just fine smile

CRAFT Thursday, December 14, 2006 7:53:51 PM

Dear umrain, big thanks! First trouble fixed =)

Regression...

Rijk Thursday, December 14, 2006 8:14:16 PM

@Heezy: I don't see that - does this happen for any random site, or somewhere specifically? There are some sites that provide two URLs for favicons, one of them broken...

Rijk Thursday, December 14, 2006 8:32:13 PM

@OsoSentado: they use an older version of AllWebMenus that doesn't support Opera 8 or higher. I don't know if we can fix this at our end, but you could file a bug report at https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/ , mentioning they use 'AllWebMenus PRO ver 3.1-#524'.

If the site upgrades to version 4 of this DHTML menu, everything should work fine in Opera.

alf245 Thursday, December 14, 2006 8:33:05 PM

@csant:

Thanks for answering.
Here is one way to produce choppy scrolling:

1. Run Opera with 'opera -pd newdir'.
2. Left-click on the 'I agree' button.
3. Close Opera's startup tab.
4. Maximize the Opera window.
5. To avoid side effects, disable Plug-ins, JavaScript, Java.
6. Create a tab containing
http://www.heise.de
7. Create 20 buttons (the more the better) on the address bar for
'http://www.heise.de' by dragging the page icon from the URL field and dropping it beside the other buttons.
8. Open 20 blank tabs (the more the better).
9. Left-click on the tab containing 'http://www.heise.de'.
10. Press the cursor down key to scroll the page down. Scrolling should be extremely choppy now.

Please let me know wether you can reproduce this.

Rijk Thursday, December 14, 2006 8:37:08 PM

@asif2bd:

You are still not being very clear. Are you talking about Java or JavaScript? Do you have specific websites where things don't work as expected? If so please, give the URL. Note that some websites do net yet take full use of the capabilities in Opera 8 and 9, unfortunately.

Whyy? Did it have anything to do with regression?

Medium Thursday, December 14, 2006 8:56:27 PM

Thanks, Desktop Team, for a super quick fix bug (243055) with email links in M2. That's only 5 days! Like a really Santa Claus!!!!!

Claudio Santambrogiocsant Thursday, December 14, 2006 10:04:13 PM

alf245, yes indeed - it seems to have become worse. Have you reported a bug?

Rijk Thursday, December 14, 2006 10:18:40 PM

CRAFT: please file bug reports for issues you find. bad english is not a big problem, but try to be as clear and specific as possible.

alf245 Thursday, December 14, 2006 11:05:21 PM

@csant:
Thank you very much for your confirmation. Yes, I sent a bug report about this issue several times. The last ones have been #238121 and #214449, if I remember correctly. Does it make sense to send another one? I also reported it there:

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2006/11/17/one-more-step-towards-9-10?startidx=60

Here is a confirmation from Gofo. He also makes interesting observations there, that I can confirm (except for the mouse wheel thing) and that might be related to the scrolling issue:

Klaus P. Kuhlemannkkuhlemann Thursday, December 14, 2006 11:08:27 PM

The flashplayer 9 support on Linux is gone with this build. Flash films which are shown in firefox, seamonkey or konqueror remain blank in Opera,
build 521 shows only about one of ten flash-films.
I know that this is still beta, but it works stable in firefox etc.

Flashplayer 7 -installed only in Opera leaving 9 for the other browsers- shows anything correctly.

This is Linux only (.6 shared rpm). Flashplayer 9 works fine in the Windows build.

Kenneth Crudupkennycrudup Thursday, December 14, 2006 11:27:25 PM

Actually, I've noticed the same with Flash 9 on Linux as well (518 and 521 are broken, 507 is OK). Considering that my one thing isn't addressed by any of the three, is there any huge fix in 518 that's not in 507 should I want to go back ('cause I'm assuming there'll be no Weekly tomorrow ...)?

Pinin Friday, December 15, 2006 12:10:20 AM

I saved (right click save image) the last hour over 150 picures with Opera (8679, Windows XP)
For example this Space - Crab Nebula (2.3MB)
http://web.mit.edu/kayla/Public/Backgrounds/Space%20-%20Crab%20Nebula.jpg

All works perfect but when I open this site:
Warning! Celeb Site: www.celebdaily.com

I have only damaged pictures.

-When I save the picture with Strg+Click it´s perfect.
-When is save the complete!! loaded picture with right
click "save image" the loading-progress begin a second time??
So when I klick save without waiting the second time load
process is ended its damage.

Opera Team: When did you expect to correct this bug???
