The RSS Feeds bug is still present! It's the third consecutive build with the same bug.

If we delete one feed, the counting is not updated. We have to close and re-open Opera so that the counting is updated.

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage Friday, February 1, 2008 4:33:55 PM

@piroxicam & everyone:

What kind of feedback is the Desktop Team looking for?

The Desktop Team is most interested in two types of feedback: constructive criticism on new functionality and notification about new bugs. They do not need to know that certain bugs have not been fixed for several weeks. Opera Software has a bug tracking system for that very purpose.

+1, crashes at youtube. x86_64 build; flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.115

Bill PBill_P Friday, February 1, 2008 4:43:14 PM

@fearphage -

unfortunately since users do not have access to the bug tracking system and because the changelog is not complete, we the testers do not actually know if the bug we are still experiencing was supposedly fixed or not.

So, I'll post again that Opera still still seg faults because of js under Suse x64, at least for me (and this is after cleaning out the ~/.opera dir).

berend ytsmaytsmabeer Friday, February 1, 2008 4:45:58 PM

@Bill_P: A bug# would be helpfull for the developers

mflagler Friday, February 1, 2008 4:47:20 PM

File associations aren't working. When I try to download a file and open it with the default application, it says it can't find the file. The application it is trying to open with is a temporary file name (i.e. OPR71A~).

I tried checking the associations in opera, and they also show this for the default application for zip files under preferences/downloads.

bobrock Friday, February 1, 2008 4:49:32 PM

Linux build totally useles, crashes almost on any site, e.g ajaxian.com, telegraaf.nl etc...

mflagler Friday, February 1, 2008 4:50:12 PM

I just tried it again, but this time it crashes opera when I try to open the ZIP file directly instead of saving it and then opening it on my own.

operic Friday, February 1, 2008 4:54:59 PM

@mflagler, did you try the following?

If you upgrade from an older snapshot using the same installation directory, you must remove the [File Types] section in opera6.ini.



James Cassellelitegeek Friday, February 1, 2008 4:56:48 PM

Thanks!

KurtChrisDavey Friday, February 1, 2008 5:00:59 PM

Boring I know!
But http://secunia.com/software_inspector/ still crashes Opera when running inspector..

Ke11ett Friday, February 1, 2008 5:03:35 PM

The create NZB button at http://www.binsearch.info has been broken in the last two builds.

Instead of prompting you to download a file called "example.nzb" (Example being whatever words your searched for) it prompts you to download a file called "nzb.fcgi".

@man on the street That works fine for me on Vista & java version 1.6.0

lamarca lamarca Friday, February 1, 2008 5:04:08 PM

i cant use synchronize opera on my clean install. i got "authentication error occured"
everything is fine with the previous build.

Zaferarzafen Friday, February 1, 2008 5:04:22 PM

In linux build,
it waits around 10 seconds before it loads a page and on gmail and musicovery.com opera crashes.

mflagler Friday, February 1, 2008 5:05:05 PM

I removed the File Types section in opera6.ini (I hadn't before, but just did) and I still have the problem. Is that the only section, or what about the [File Types Section Info] and [File Types Extension]. I left these, but assumed that was the new settings for this snapshot.

Arthur WilkinsonGT500 Friday, February 1, 2008 5:05:37 PM

Thanks for the new build. wink

Zaferarzafen Friday, February 1, 2008 5:06:11 PM

@lamarca : confirmed.

Bill PBill_P Friday, February 1, 2008 5:06:26 PM

@bobrock, @ -=>13<=- and anyone else experiencing crashes under Linux send em crashlogs as described here http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/825/

thanks!
did you upgrade or did a clean install?

Martin Suelzlemarsu Friday, February 1, 2008 5:09:25 PM

Did you changed something on event.originalTarget? Since 9755 it returns undefined for me ????

zombie Friday, February 1, 2008 5:12:22 PM

@Linux users: Read "Known issues"!
- "Plugins crash Opera on UNIX"

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage Friday, February 1, 2008 5:14:33 PM

@remco: well done. Thanks for the bug numbers... now edit them into the blog post ;p

Zaferarzafen Friday, February 1, 2008 5:16:17 PM

@lamarca,
clean install in linux

The YeOKYeOK Friday, February 1, 2008 5:28:59 PM

The 9.5's are really coming along.

x86_64

Only problem now is the Flash player crash. In the last build it would crash now and again. This build is crashing all the time.

Everything else though is working great for me. Good build thanks for the work.

berend ytsmaytsmabeer Friday, February 1, 2008 5:29:19 PM

File associations aren't working.

There is a a problem with the "Save Link to Download Folder" and "Save link As" . this a known issue

Langemasterofallarts Friday, February 1, 2008 5:29:22 PM

The site

http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~sophia

is still without its menu! That's a pity because its markup validates, HTML strict without too many bells and whistles.

Greetings,
René

Ke11ett Friday, February 1, 2008 5:31:20 PM

When I user the inline search (ie. "g example") it adds that to the address bar drop down.

Wade Friday, February 1, 2008 5:35:56 PM

Plugins crash Opera on UNIX



so how bad is this, like if i want to see flash videos opera crash is 100% sure or random crahes now & then?

TaranQ Friday, February 1, 2008 5:36:24 PM

Synchronize doesn't seem to work??

The YeOKYeOK Friday, February 1, 2008 5:42:07 PM

This build is crashing 100% for me. I could browse and watch Vids in the last build with a crash now and again.

Ar1Pear1pe Friday, February 1, 2008 5:42:24 PM

@lamarca
@arzafen

Same here with XP SP2 upgrade...

Alexis DeveriaFyrd Friday, February 1, 2008 5:44:06 PM

Cool! Love the CSS improvements. Are other ::selection properties planned for the future, or is this all that's needs to be possible anyway?

boys love toys Friday, February 1, 2008 5:44:44 PM

@lamarca

i too can confirm inability to synchronise

Remco Lantingremcolanting Friday, February 1, 2008 5:48:19 PM

@masterofallarts:

http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~sophia uses "max-height: 95%;" for the menu wrapper. Since the parent (body in this case) doesn't have a height set, it's 95% of nothing or just plain 0. If a browser doesn't recognize max-width, it's ignored and only the normal height is used. This is set to auto, making it visible in most browsers.

One last thing: the fact that a page validates only means it's using the correct grammar. It doesn't mean the message itself makes any sense.

toyo Friday, February 1, 2008 5:58:24 PM

i can't download (again)the mail from a pop3 gmail account if i set it to "download all mail", even if i mark them all as unread and move them to Inbox. sad this work i think when permanent delete=1 but when permanent delete=0 (so i can receive mail after i empty the trash)it stops working. i'm just getting lost in this mailing issue sad i wish it would work ok.
thx for the new build smile

Tim AltmanJunyor Friday, February 1, 2008 6:00:25 PM

@Fyrd: That's all we're planning right now.

Kirilljarinkirill Friday, February 1, 2008 6:07:26 PM

Pop-up blocker consider Developer Console in this build as unwanted pop-up.

 jacktalking Friday, February 1, 2008 6:11:43 PM

Right mouse button in Transfer Window still does NOT work!!! Whenever I click any file, I cant delete it from the list, so I have to do it by myself...
