Also, when running Flash operawrapper uses lots more (read massively more) cpu then in 32 version, and it keeps using cpu after the video has played as long as the tab is still open - but it does play
I can't desplay my home directory error: "You tried to access the address file://localhost/home/XXXXX/home, which is currently unavailable". Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page. But I can open a local pdf and have it display.
Opera still keeps loosing my plugins though when asked to find new ones it say 'none' but finds and loads them anyhow.
32 bit Acrobat and flash work as does 64bit Mplayer-plugins - this is awesome as FF requires nspluginwrapper to create wrappers,

CtrlAltDrag — does behaviour change in this build?
It`s worked for me from first builds of Kestrel, at least in my 9613 ;-)

After a crash Opera would not restart, seems to have hung on searching these 2 dirs for plugins /opt/kde3/lib64/kde3 &
/opt/kde3/lib64/kde3/plugins. Editing plugin-in file so that the 2 dirs were set to 0 (though I don't think they ever were displayed in the plugin config screen before)
After clearing the cache Opera will not load pages in background, the tab opens and the url appears in the address bar but nothing is loaded, restarting Opera fixes it.

Is opera:config#UserPrefs|HistoryNavigationMode set to 1?

Also still /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop is missing in the linux packages, so opera won't appear in the menu if you do an uninstall first!

"Save link to download folder" doesn't. Transfer window shows "default ?", "from=http://urlinfo", "size=?", "transferred=1.8kb".
The file saved is in html and reads "you tried to access the address file://localhost/controller.php?url=urlinfo&ref=,"

Try to select with mouse the entire message above (in the orignal post)it hangs, why?
PS: also in my message

Opera chrashes when I try to edit the filtes and I cannot delete mails from filters; CTRL+X does not work. Someone told me the new version is Shift+Del, but this deletes only these mails.

It would be nice to see even more new features. How about improving feed reader? Especially the subscribing part. Make it open some special webpage or toolbar, to select rss reader. Current dialog is very annoying.

@Steffen74: Yes, Shift+Delete will delete messages in filters. Delete removes messages from filters.

On another matter, the monumentally annoying blinking issue is still with us somehow:

In M2, Threaded emails:
Say I have 2 emails threaded and collapsed, i see a "(2)" at the end of the subject. Now if a third email in the thread arrives nothing happens. The thread is not highligthed as if a new message and the count is not updated. Basically I have to click on all the threaded emails to see where the new mail is...if any. Once clicked on, the count is updated. This is an old on going problem for me by the by.
Bill PBill_P # Friday, January 4, 2008 4:52:12 PM
Newly received messages appear to work correctly
Certain emails with a diff icon (looks like the top of an unopend envelope) when clicked appear to attempt to receive the message from the server as a "authentication failed" message pops up. All accounts are pop3.

The dark overlay does not cover whole page height. Look at the bottom of page. In 9.25 stable it works fine.

Even the simplest bugs which shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to fix are still there.
One example is the extention bug. Why is it not fixed??
There are so many bugs that have been known for a long time, and build after build is released without even mentioning them.
