I am having problems with http://www.cnn.com/ on this build. The reload wheel for CNN's thumbnail was spun forever the first time I reloaded my speed dial (it's one of my 9 obviously). Then I visited CNN and had a problem loading the last image, which went away when I hit stop and then reload. Now the CNN page loads fine (when I visit the page itself) but the thumbnail on my speed dial does not reload with F5 (all other thumbnails show a spinning icon until they reload but the CNN thumbnail shows no spinning). Right clicking and reloading manually also does not ever show any spinning for CNN. Can anyone confirm? You would have to have CNN as an entry on your speed dial to check this.

Soul Of DoinelSoulOfDoinel Friday, March 23, 2007 7:05:02 PM

I've tried to put CNN in my speed dial and perfectly work (when I use F5 show spinning icon and reload).

rghammo Friday, March 23, 2007 7:07:32 PM

OK, thanks for checking. I had cleared the cache before, but just now I cleared and closed/restarted and all is fine. All better.

Steve DarkenDarken Friday, March 23, 2007 7:07:54 PM

hummm, new installer "splash screen"?

Nice smile

Alnag Friday, March 23, 2007 7:13:46 PM

Now this speed of fixing issues I really appreciate! Thanx a lot.

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage Friday, March 23, 2007 7:24:39 PM

in reference to css3...

Originally posted by haavard:

I don't think you can expect a lot of new things until Kestrel or Peregrine.

I overall didn't expect any major changes or feature additions in the near future. However, this was sharply contrasted by the speed dial feature. I'm just wondering if it is opening the door for more features or was that something someone felt was one of the last features the next release needed?

Just wondering if we are starting up new features or winding down. Is there a target set for the bundle of css3 additions?

I know the bug tracking system is closed and all but could we possibly get some insight into bug stats? like opened, confirmed, fixed, etc? Also, I recall reading that changelogs for releases are generally incomplete. Is there somewhere to get complete logs or even raw (cvs/svn) logs? I'm not sure what I would/could do with that but more info is always better.

EDIT: I posted the reply in this release because I'm not sure if the other release will be viewed much now.

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, March 23, 2007 7:27:33 PM

Fantastic! I had a feeling that a fix for the right click crash would come quickly. I like seeing the fast response and patch that you all have been doing over there!

[EDIT]The classic installer got an upgrade, hehe. I see you guys decided to put a more professional looking image in the classic installer. Good move in my opinion. bigsmile

Jeff ™intelimac20inch Friday, March 23, 2007 7:59:40 PM

wow new build already thats fast! :-D

cousin333 Friday, March 23, 2007 8:24:57 PM

Great new build!

When I open a page from Speed Dial, the Speed Dial thumbnail also refreshes. But usually badly aligned (aligned to left, when it should be centered...).

In newsfeeds, when I check the Get name from feed (or what), the feed's name changes to the URL, and the name field is greyed out (so far it's good behaviour). But if I press Send/Recieve button, the field become editable again (with the new name, it got from the feed), and the option is unchecked. Is it deliberate or is it a small bug?

If the feed name was selected before clicking Send/Recieve, the new feed name is not shown (not updated) until I click somewhere else.

But these are pretty small bugs, so you should not have to pay too much attention to them...smile

Pretty good (fast&stable) new build anyway. I like the new "setup splash screen picture" too. The former one was boring now, anyway. wink

Alnag Friday, March 23, 2007 8:37:02 PM

Seeing the speed of new builds, new set-up picture and other "Signs" I guess we are near to final, aren't we?

Vinodvinodkk1 Friday, March 23, 2007 8:55:28 PM

Nice new build .But still dont see an easy way to update all feeds in one go .Pending request feature

cousin333 Friday, March 23, 2007 9:00:18 PM

I meant: aligned to the RIGHT... wink

(about FTP rerouting also possible in Opera and Konqueror)

Csant: great to hear it's already fixed in the weeklies - I suppose this will push the release date for Opera 9.2

Investor Friday, March 23, 2007 9:57:27 PM

@quiris:

Are there Berit Framnes and Espen Øverdahl on a setup picture?


My thought as well wink

Theme point is fine, but take is not 100% professional... Looks like 2 shots pasted together.

Berit does the trick, really nice... but Espen needs... different angle, expression... ???

szarpaj Friday, March 23, 2007 10:03:40 PM

Still waiting for something like:
* Fixed the "gray screen of flash death"

Linux flash sucks. /:

Cor OskamOskamcor Friday, March 23, 2007 10:45:45 PM

When using the full screen in Youtube. I can't return to the common view.

BrandonViperAFK Friday, March 23, 2007 10:46:00 PM

I'm having a problem I do not remember having with the last build, on digg.com when I digg someone up it redirects me to the main page. however it works when I mask as firefox. It also makes me repetitivly have to login

olli Friday, March 23, 2007 10:50:11 PM

ViperAFK: works for me

Steve DarkenDarken Friday, March 23, 2007 10:55:21 PM

@ViperAFK: All works fine with this latest build + Digg.

TreeGo Friday, March 23, 2007 10:59:37 PM

Widgets won't display as 'Always on Top' in Build 8762 upon closing and reopening any widget.

Changing the properties of any widget to 'Always on Top' is ignored by Build 8762 upon successive re-openings of the said widget. After closing the widget upon selecting 'Always on Top' and re-opening the same widget, the widget displays as 'Normal' with the separate Windows taskbar entry display as a result.

Ali Fazelzadehafz Friday, March 23, 2007 11:13:44 PM

bug in selectelemet.options.selectedIndex = -1

FavDjiXas Friday, March 23, 2007 11:25:23 PM

Could you please add at least 3 more auto-complete (wand) fields in the next build? :-/

Mathias Mmmichel Friday, March 23, 2007 11:29:45 PM

If "reuse current tab" is not checked, it works.cool
