Yet another snapshot build

By Cato. Friday, February 29, 2008 3:20:40 PM

WARNING: These are development snapshots: they contain the latest changes, but they also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, they may not work at all.

Here's yet another snapshot build. This build fixes a few outstanding download issues. In particular, we now respect filename suggestions in content-disposition: attachment headers. Testing is needed, however, as this build will introduce some download regressions. We've already caught some internally, but there are probably others.

We've also updated search.ini a bit in this build:
  • Removed Yahoo! Shopping, Yahoo! Answers, Google Groups, Opera Support, and Download.com searches
  • Added Wikipedia and Google Images searches


Known issues
  • "Open With" other browsers doesn't work
  • Save As for a web page only lets you save as "HTML file" on Windows
  • Unable to print pages with objects or iframes
  • Some downloads do not appear in the transfer manager
  • Inline find stops working after entering one letter (using Ctrl/Cmd+F still works as expected)
  • Keyboard input is problematic for some people on Mac
  • The progress bar does not show if it's set to "Pop-up at the bottom"


Changelog
  • Fixed IMAP and POP synchronization problems
  • RSS items that are already read are not shown in the notification anymore
  • It is now possible to set Opera as default mail application from Control Panel
  • When right-clicking in Speed Dial search field you you can easily reach the "Search options"
  • Fixed cut-n-pasting bookmark folders
  • Fixed selecting or creating a new bookmark file with Sync
  • "Save to download folder" works again
  • Context menu in transfers panel now work again when no other tabs are open
  • Content-disposition: attachment filename suggestion now respected when saving files
  • Fixed saving multiple files from the links panel
  • Some initial implementation for flipping scrollbars on RTL web sites (to permanently flip, enable opera:config#UserPrefs|Left-handedUI)
  • Fixed problem finding new POP messages when using the "Leave messages on server" setting
  • Better search results when using Quick find in Opera Mail


Windows specific:
  • File open/save dialogs are resizable again
  • Fixed a crash on startup on Windows 98


Mac specific:
  • Opera now works again in Mac OS X 10.3.9.
  • Fixed scrollbars to not loose their blue color
  • Fixed unread count in Dock icon
  • Some stability fixes to plugins


UNIX specific:
  • Prevent GTK from changing the global locale settings - this would occasionally make text disappear or shrink on web pages after using the GTK filechooser
  • Autoscroll/pan now appears where clicked, not in middle of page
  • Fixed plugin detection for .1 and .5 builds
  • Several more plugin fixes

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage Friday, February 29, 2008 4:10:49 PM

Hey everybody, read this and remember it until next week:

Known issues:

Inline find stops working after entering one letter (using Ctrl/Cmd+F still works as expected)



That means they already know so you don't need to mention it.

operakappa Friday, February 29, 2008 4:11:04 PM

This marks 2 months since the last release of 9.50 branch for Solaris x86, should I assume there won't be any snapshots for this platform ?

FataL Friday, February 29, 2008 4:11:22 PM

In particular, we now respect filename suggestions

OMG! Finally! up
Does this mean that I can save XSD, XSL documents with correct extension?.. Will see in a moment...

So, Opera now can save JPE extension up (test), but still save XSD and XSL with XML extension (disscussion). sad

surfer dude Friday, February 29, 2008 4:12:42 PM

What about the Solaris Sparc build?

Martin Suelzlemarsu Friday, February 29, 2008 4:14:08 PM

Hi,

thanks again for this new build. But I have found (20 minuts ago) a svg-script or page that crashes this an last build:

http://svglbc.datenverdrahten.de/?doc=cloneNode&znr=on

A click on the blue rect crashes my opera under winxp. sad

Wade Friday, February 29, 2008 4:20:59 PM

progress bar "pop-up at bottom" is not showing pop-up in linux build

Doliprane'Doliprane Friday, February 29, 2008 4:21:21 PM

yay! thanks a lot!

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage Friday, February 29, 2008 4:24:38 PM

@marsu: Crash confirmed (in this build). You gonna file it?

On the contrary, I'd love some light shone on this one, since it's becoming curiouser and curiouser, but the cone of silence around here is most definitely in effect. Ah well, as far as Opera goes at least, 9770 is palatable.

GregLand Friday, February 29, 2008 4:29:46 PM

Crash confirmed in this build so !!! worried

Tim AltmanJunyor Friday, February 29, 2008 4:30:31 PM

@rseiler: It's a bug and it will be fixed. End of story.

MossMan Friday, February 29, 2008 4:32:45 PM

POP working properly now...? Really?

Joy! happy

confirmed on winxp as well.

still no tray icon

Hermenhermen2048 Friday, February 29, 2008 4:43:29 PM

This build seems to use the wrong skin for the menu bar (at least on my Vista system). Can anybody confirm this?

Bill PBill_P Friday, February 29, 2008 4:46:11 PM

Mplayerplug-in is not working for me, also can't switch to other plugins in preferences (Opera always reverts back to mplayer). Running 64 bit Suse 10.3

James Cassellelitegeek Friday, February 29, 2008 4:47:19 PM

Thanks for the update; The most annoying bug for me is the broken inline-find.

t1gershark Friday, February 29, 2008 4:53:48 PM

Thanks for the new build.
I've a strange problem, if you open a page with Javascript
turned on andthen turn off again after the page has loaded,
no links on the page are clickable.

Can confirm on Win XP.

I would add to known issues:
  • Links not clickable with JavaScript turned off
  • Progress bar doesn't work with option "Pop-up at bottom"

babox Friday, February 29, 2008 5:04:30 PM

This build doesn't open new pages from external links (as Windows Live Messenger Mail button*) and shows just the Opera window.

*I use StuffPlug 3 to force WLM use the Opera browser to check new messages.

friguron Friday, February 29, 2008 5:08:35 PM

I have no problem with Stuff Plug 3 with this build... ¬¬ It's working as always...

Gabry89 Friday, February 29, 2008 5:13:36 PM

Today i try FF 3b3...it render the pages better than Opera 9.5 (sigh)...but Opera is very faster than firefox!! ^^

Why Opera don't render page as correct as firefox?

P.S.
Sorry for my bad english! XD

Andresandresruiz Friday, February 29, 2008 5:28:05 PM

Hi, thanks for the new snapshot
I also have something new for you !! a new craslog about New Yahoo Mail crashing Opera. Just sent the mail with bug report #315741
Thanks again.

RealChillyWilly Friday, February 29, 2008 5:33:20 PM

Bug 307126 is fixed!

http Content-Disposition work again to upload a file to the browser with Coldfusion, php, asp.net etc.

berend ytsmaytsmabeer Friday, February 29, 2008 5:33:38 PM

@Gabry89: what pages?

antini Friday, February 29, 2008 5:39:23 PM

João Davidpiroxicam Friday, February 29, 2008 5:40:14 PM

With this build I still get no icons at all in Opera. I will try to uninstall and clean totally my profile to see if it works.

dreamdrummerddrum Friday, February 29, 2008 5:45:28 PM

..."Save to download folder" works again...

yes finally.

Now I can move from 9.2x to 9.5 for daily use.

tosbsas Friday, February 29, 2008 5:48:44 PM

is the tray icon back??

Dan Alexandrudantesoft Friday, February 29, 2008 5:48:58 PM

"Inline find stops working after entering one letter (using Ctrl/Cmd+F still works as expected)"
This is getting too annoying. Leave it like this next time and you lose a tester left

"Added Wikipedia and Google Images searches"
I already had set the EN wikipedia search for w, but without the &go=Go in the submit URL. The new search shouldn't have been added for the same keyword w.

Tim AltmanJunyor Friday, February 29, 2008 5:58:30 PM

@dantesoft: Then we may lose a tester. There's no requirement that you test snapshots or that you upgrade to each new snapshot.

SiMcarD Friday, February 29, 2008 6:01:02 PM

@hermen2048

yes I confirm: with Emil theme the menu bar became blue.

Another bug: progress bar doesn't work if setted to "popup at bottom".

Gabry89 Friday, February 29, 2008 6:10:56 PM

@ytsmabeer

Especially pages with this CSS http://www.css3.info/preview/rounded-border/

but but also others don't work...

Hermenhermen2048 Friday, February 29, 2008 6:15:44 PM

SiMcarD: menu skinning problem reported as bug-315747.

Tim AltmanJunyor Friday, February 29, 2008 6:24:41 PM

@mgillespie: The alternative would be to not release a snapshot for a month. That would put us even more out of touch with users, no?

This is just something that's not supported by Opera, and Opera isn't required to have it yet.
Remember that all css3 things aren't standerd yet.
and a site is still usable and most of the time looks still fine

Stevesgunhouse Friday, February 29, 2008 6:46:52 PM

I reported the progress bar before coming here to check on it, my bug report is 315754.

Another feature that isn't working yet is the URI fragment issue, bug 311914. That is, clicking the Last post or New post links in My Opera still doesn't work. sad

Glad my mail bug appears to be fixed though.

magicmaxi Friday, February 29, 2008 6:49:28 PM

Too bad that its still unusable for mac users from countrys who need special letters on their keyboard. If it would have been fixed, it would be a great build.

wyzn Friday, February 29, 2008 6:49:35 PM

Has anyone else problems with IMDb.com since a few builds ago?

Movie pages don't finish loading (progress bar displays something like "Elements: 66/66", clicking links on the page doesn't do anything until I hit escape/stop).

The same with the ajaxy rating function: Hangs forever. Rating appears after pressing escape/stop, but it's gone after a page refresh.

System: WinXP x64 Edition SP2

Martin Suelzlemarsu Friday, February 29, 2008 7:01:32 PM

Done
bug-315759

And you can find an other (or the same) on
http://svglbc.datenverdrahten.de/?doc=object_details&znr=off if you click the "4".

Rafał MiłeckiZajec Friday, February 29, 2008 7:12:12 PM

It's impossible to get answer when posting on bug tracking so I ask here:
You write again about better support for plugins on Linux. What about SWFDEC? I can't make it work while it works fine in Firefox.

João Davidpiroxicam Friday, February 29, 2008 7:12:29 PM

Unfortunately I really have no icons in Opera. From File to Help menus and going to right-click menus: no icons at all. I only have icons in the first usage of Opera. After I close it and re-open, the icons are gone for ever.

I have tryied to delete both Opera and profile folders and do a clean install but that did not solve the problem.

Using Windows Vista Home Edition 32bit with default skins both in Opera and in Vista.

Espen B. AnderssonEspenA Friday, February 29, 2008 7:20:25 PM

wyzn: Are you still seeing this in build 9815?

MetalRaise Friday, February 29, 2008 7:22:23 PM

This is the first snapshot since months that I will skip...
The buggy inline find really is annoying, and now with the progress bar not working when set to "Pop-up at bottom" this snapshot just isn't useable for me. Better luck next Friday, maybe?

@ rseiler:
I think we were right with our estimation of a Kestrel final release around Christmas. Christmas 2008, of course. ;-)

Rafał MiłeckiZajec Friday, February 29, 2008 7:34:42 PM

If someone interested about my SWFDEC problem:
The program 'operapluginwrapper' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 217 error_code 8 request_code 151 minor_code 1)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
opera: Plug-in 17578 is not responding. It will be closed.

Bug about lack of SWFDEC support already was reported by me (even two times if I remember right).

tosbsas Friday, February 29, 2008 7:45:16 PM

and tray icon is still gone (:-((

Ruben

wyzn Friday, February 29, 2008 7:52:23 PM

Pondus: Yes, even in 9815. But with one difference: The voting at the top *seems* to work (own rating appears instantly). However, after a page refresh it's gone again.

I uninstalled the previous build, cleared the cache and deleted all cookies.
