9.10 again ? Hmmmmm.

andresruiz # 12. January 2007, 17:05

Some days ago, I wanted to watch the Apple keynote at: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/j47d52oo/event/
Maybe the Apple server was Full, and it oppened QuickTime with a message, something like "due exceptional demand, your request bla bla bla,... please try again later.
I tried later and later, and then the next they...but the same message, so I tried with Firefox and it worked. then with Opera, and failed again. So I think Opera setted a kind of cookie for that link so it always show the same, It need to be solved, those kind of things must automatic refresh and re-check.

Can you solve it?

Tks

I was so excited with the fixed YT problem that I didn't read that Java is not working...

This will be a hard week...

Happy 2007 and thanks for the new build

Pinin # 12. January 2007, 17:31

Opera Team: When did you expect to correct save pic bug???

I saved (right click save image) the last hour over 150 picures.

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.

andresruiz # 12. January 2007, 17:41

Hi

Another old problem, in Yahoo Mail Beta, the address auto-complete doesn't work, it shows your contact's address but doesn't autocomplete when you click on it, so you have to write all address.

Solve it please

Still waiting for work on mail. Maybe when Thunderbird v2.0 hits the street then Opera will move on mail.

When it comes to searching email messages, Opera still has the lead, but I think it is only a matter of time, before the TB developer catch up. Opera search speed is what is keeping me using Opera mail.

Appreciate the improvements of this new build.
However as I would like to use Download Accelerator Plus as my default download manager, I find that it will not load automatically in the new version, but had no problem doing it in the previous ones.

You should wait for the next major release. Here we discuss bug fixes right now...

kennycrudup # 12. January 2007, 17:56

Fingers crossed again!

malsumis # 12. January 2007, 18:01

Oh man THANK YOU for fixing the "100% CPU when loading http://"

You are the best. A milion thanks to you: http://madduck.net/~madduck/misc/thankyou/

EDIT: I noticed one more thing. Opera is using 100% CPU if pages are reloaded from cache after reopening the browser(when restoring a session, if the pages were syved upon closing)

Fyrd # 12. January 2007, 18:02

Woohoo! Excellent!

Just out of curiosity, are you guys both working on 9.x updates as well as quietly a 9.5/10 version, or is it just 9.x updates for now?

Fyrd # 12. January 2007, 18:05

This may be a stupid question, but...

Why would one go to "http://" in the first place? Is it secretly the starting point of the internet that nobody told me about?

Ahui886 # 12. January 2007, 18:06

thanks ,good job.

SiMcarD # 12. January 2007, 18:09

WMP11 bug still exists.

klingoncowboy4 # 12. January 2007, 18:09

*shakes uncontrollably*

finally another build

*installs*

that's better

So we are still testing 9.10 then

Edit: I finally actually read the changelog

Version number not updated yet

Java not working

I guess it is a good thin I can't restart the router remotely from this machine anyway. The Xport uses a java applet to control the power for the router. I always use this machine remotely from a wireless laptop (shutting off the router also cuts off the wireless hotspot) and in any case this machine is cut from the xport (needs to use the hub in the router to control it). But enough of that.

ar1pe # 12. January 2007, 18:18

again

Kuja-IX # 12. January 2007, 18:25

A weekly !

I'm so happy

klingoncowboy4 # 12. January 2007, 18:26

I wonder what the correct number is... will it finally be 10 or is it another 9.x or 9.1x?

emilsj # 12. January 2007, 18:27

This is a problem that has existed in quite some time and haven't got fixed yet.

Back in the 8.xx-days, when you had a personal bar with a bunch of links in it, and you wanted to open a couple of them at the same time, you just had to click them in the order you wanted them opened. But since 9.00 (I think), you have to wait till the site has begun loading before you press the next link, else the second link you press will just open in the same tab as the first link you clicked, because Opera thinks it's an unused tab.

klingoncowboy4 # 12. January 2007, 18:34

hidden Instant Messanger?

What hidden Instant Messenger?

Adobe Shockwave Player not working (but Flash Player works ok)

illiad # 12. January 2007, 18:47

nah forget about mail, most have now gone to TB, cant be bothered waiting for any dev to bother about it!!!

kyleabaker # 12. January 2007, 18:48

Whooo!!!!!! 2007 Rocks so far!

cousin333 # 12. January 2007, 18:49

"Rapidly opening bookmarks in new tabs sometimes uses same tab"

I can confirm that. Please do something with it.

dg30467 # 12. January 2007, 18:54

same bug in mac. try dragging the tabs

olli # 12. January 2007, 18:55

illiad: We are bothering with it, but the changes we are doing is on a work branch as it's more then just small bug fixes :-)

malsumis # 12. January 2007, 18:57

arghwashier # 12. January 2007, 19:01

I am hoping the excruciating slow scrolling on some site will be fixed soon, eg like on:

WildEnte # 12. January 2007, 19:19

seeing that there seem not to be new features in this weekly, is it safe to assume that this goes towards 9.11 and that version 9 of Opera will stop somewhere in the 9.1x range?

Looking forward to weeklies of Opera 10 (c;=

Zotlan # 12. January 2007, 19:21

excellent work on the outube updates

Eddie_Lopez # 12. January 2007, 19:21

olli-

We all want the codename of the M2 development branch.

Opera 10- Codenamed: "Special Delivery"

AndrewNi # 12. January 2007, 19:34

Yay! A good end to a rather rubbish week...

CaseyJ # 12. January 2007, 20:02

yeah dude! :-)

Gingerbread Guy # 12. January 2007, 20:15

Hurray for the YouTube progress bar fix!

I'd like to plead for a fix to the picture saving problem Pinin (#15) described above. On certain sites, Right-click > Save image re-downloads the image even though it was already fully loaded moments ago. This causes a corrupt image if I click the "Save" button in the Save As dialog box before the download finishes. Under History, I have Check images: Every 24 hours, so that can't be the problem.

Testing the YouTube fix, I came accross this oddity. It's probably nothing worth fixing, I just thought it was curious enough to share:
1. Browsing > Loading: Redraw when loaded.
2. Load a YouTube video link. The page is loading but it hasn't displayed and there's no scroll bar.
3. Tools > Preferences. The page displays, despite the settings and the fact that it's not fully loaded. Click the "Cancel" button in the Preferences window.
4. Try scrolling with the mousewheel, since there's no scrollbar. The following visual bug appears.

Edit: I should probably mention that I'm running Windows XP SP2 with Adobe Flash 9.0.28.0. Java is not installed.

Confirmed, the same behaviour here
