Added support for the CSS color and background-color properties for the ::selection pseudo-element

Thanks

piroxicam # 1. February 2008, 16:28

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.

fearphage # 1. February 2008, 16:33

@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.

-=>13<=- # 1. February 2008, 16:42

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

Bill_P # 1. February 2008, 16:43

@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).

ytsmabeer # 1. February 2008, 16:45

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

mflagler # 1. February 2008, 16:47

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 # 1. February 2008, 16:49

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

mflagler # 1. February 2008, 16:50

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 # 1. February 2008, 16:54

@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.

elitegeek # 1. February 2008, 16:56

Thanks!

man on the street # 1. February 2008, 17:00

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

Ke11ett # 1. February 2008, 17:03

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 # 1. February 2008, 17:04

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

arzafen # 1. February 2008, 17:04

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

mflagler # 1. February 2008, 17:05

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.

GT500 # 1. February 2008, 17:05

Thanks for the new build.

arzafen # 1. February 2008, 17:06

@lamarca : confirmed.

Bill_P # 1. February 2008, 17:06

@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?

marsu # 1. February 2008, 17:09

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

zombie # 1. February 2008, 17:12

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

fearphage # 1. February 2008, 17:14

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

arzafen # 1. February 2008, 17:16

@lamarca,
clean install in linux

YeOK # 1. February 2008, 17:28

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.

ytsmabeer # 1. February 2008, 17:29

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

masterofallarts # 1. February 2008, 17:29

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 # 1. February 2008, 17:31

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

Wade # 1. February 2008, 17:35

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 # 1. February 2008, 17:36

Synchronize doesn't seem to work??

YeOK # 1. February 2008, 17:42

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

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

ar1pe # 1. February 2008, 17:42

@lamarca
@arzafen

Same here with XP SP2 upgrade...

Fyrd # 1. February 2008, 17:44

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 # 1. February 2008, 17:44

@lamarca

i too can confirm inability to synchronise

remcolanting # 1. February 2008, 17:48

@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 # 1. February 2008, 17:58

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.

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

i wish it would work ok.
thx for the new build

Junyor # 1. February 2008, 18:00

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

jarinkirill # 1. February 2008, 18:07

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

jacktalking # 1. February 2008, 18:11

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...
