Yet another snapshot build

By Cato. Friday, 29. February 2008, 15:20:40

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

"Inline find stops working after entering one letter"

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

Back to an old weekly for me. I simply can't live without . find, and all week I have been reassuring myself that after 3 weeks of it being borked, it must be fixed this week, surely...

There seems to be lots of lingering problems, that never seem to get fixed, like the F12, Site Prefs, Cookies not showing, and quite a few others I forget at the moment, but come acess regularly.

I have my "sweet build", where most things work pretty well, that I will go back to, it's quite old now, but works well. Far too many regressions being introduced recently, with no enough being removed. The last few weeklies have been crash-fests...

MyOpera team, please fix this! 29. February 2008, 16:10

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 29. February 2008, 16:11

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 29. February 2008, 16:11

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). :frown:

surfer dude 29. February 2008, 16:12

What about the Solaris Sparc build?

Martin Suelzle 29. February 2008, 16:14

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. :frown:

Wade 29. February 2008, 16:20

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

Kai 29. February 2008, 16:21

yay! thanks a lot!

MyOpera team, please fix this! 29. February 2008, 16:24

@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 29. February 2008, 16:29

Crash confirmed in this build so !!! :worried:

Tim Altman 29. February 2008, 16:30

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

MossMan 29. February 2008, 16:32

POP working properly now...? Really?

Joy! :happy:

lamarca 29. February 2008, 16:34

confirmed on winxp as well.

still no tray icon

Hermen 29. February 2008, 16:43

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

Bill P 29. February 2008, 16:46

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 Cassell 29. February 2008, 16:47

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

t1gershark 29. February 2008, 16:53

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.

Not confirmed. Windows Vista Ultimate.

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 29. February 2008, 17:04

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 29. February 2008, 17:08

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

Gabry89 29. February 2008, 17:13

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

Andres 29. February 2008, 17:28

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 29. February 2008, 17:33

Bug 307126 is fixed!

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

berend ytsma 29. February 2008, 17:33

@Gabry89: what pages?

antini 29. February 2008, 17:39

Comment removed by Moderator. Stop spamming the comments every snapshot with this feature request.

João David 29. February 2008, 17:40

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.

dreamdrummer 29. February 2008, 17:45

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

:yes: finally.

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

tosbsas 29. February 2008, 17:48

is the tray icon back??

Dan Alexandru 29. February 2008, 17:48

"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 Altman 29. February 2008, 17:58

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

SiMcarD 29. February 2008, 18:01

@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".

Mark Gillespie 29. February 2008, 18:09

I think the number of comments about inline search (.find), and the fact it's been broken for a month now, shows that Opera are out of touch with what features are important to users..

The fact it got broken, and has stayed broken, yet seemingly minor things get corrected clearly shows either a lack of understanding, or a lack of prioritization.

Gabry89 29. February 2008, 18:10

@ytsmabeer

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

but but also others don't work...

Hermen 29. February 2008, 18:15

SiMcarD: menu skinning problem reported as bug-315747.

Mark Gillespie 29. February 2008, 18:21

Can you fix the installers please, that have been broken forever?

The MSI works on none of my sytems, giving an Error 1926

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1230/83321437vv0.png

The Classic, which I use because of above, creates a silly zero byte shortcut on my desktop, with the title of the install drive letter.

A broken shortcut called "Z" with no icon, that does not launch Opera is very unhelpful.

Tim Altman 29. February 2008, 18:24

@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

Steve 29. February 2008, 18:46

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. :frown:

Glad my mail bug appears to be fixed though.

magicmaxi 29. February 2008, 18:49

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 29. February 2008, 18:49

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 Suelzle 29. February 2008, 19:01

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 Miłecki 29. February 2008, 19:12

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 David 29. February 2008, 19:12

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. Andersson 29. February 2008, 19:20

wyzn: Are you still seeing this in build 9815?

MetalRaise 29. February 2008, 19:22

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. ;-)
