Opera 9.51 RC 2

,

More fixes in the pipeline for 9.51! As always, we appreciate constructive feedback. Main focus was on stability and the installer - some issues that users have encountered when upgrading from 9.27 should now be finally solved.

Changelog:
  • Security status should be now always correctly set when navigating from HTTP to HTTPS.
  • Fixed an issue related to OCSP and CRLs that would lower security level - Yngve has a detailed article. You'll have to manually check for updates to activate this fix.
  • Fixed an issue in the content blocker that might cause no page to be loaded anymore. Homer: Doh!
  • Fixed a crash on Yahoo! Mail (now really!).
  • Fixed a crash with userjs.
  • Fixed a crash related to Dragonfly.
  • Fixed a crash on Print Preview.
  • Fixed an issue that caused unwanted line breaks in rich text editors.
  • Fixed loading of stylesheets when navigating in history.


UNIX specific:
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent pages from closing on Qt4 builds.
  • Fixed saving of changes to plugin configuration.

Nice work people.

aschaab 27. June 2008, 18:01

Nice work, things are really firming up here. One thing I noticed with introduction of 9.50 is that "right-click"-"Empty trash" for mail does not work any more. Aside from that minor issue: :cheers:

thanks for RC2 :smile:

This is just minor issue, so I think that this one and hundreds similar issues will live until next major version... I'm even not shure if they will fix very visible bugs on popular sites, like digg.com

http://groupme.org/GroupMe/group/421

is still not working correctly (compare to FF) :frown:

I think it is a JS problem that can be fixed by userjs?

zoquete 27. June 2008, 18:29

Fatal, I know :frown: but I thought, this wold be easy to fix. To fix sides is wrong, the webmasters should fix their work, not browser vendors. By the way it is not easy to say, where the bug is. If in the page or in the browser.

Michael83815 27. June 2008, 18:31

Bug

I just downloaded 2 .exe files and extensions were changed to .php

This is a password protected site so I can't give the URL.

Sterkrig 27. June 2008, 18:35

New builds are coming faster than I can read comments here (-:E
Keep up! :up:

ElectriX2 27. June 2008, 18:41

Images are still displayed in a transfer window. It's a mess... :frown:

Icons of some pages are still not displayed on personal toolbar (ex. http://freeware.unas.cz/ - PHP-Fusion)

About the bug renaming extensions from exe to php - try to download for example from this site: http://fiffigt.com/Liquorice/index.php

Anyway, thanx for RC2! :hat:

fruxo 27. June 2008, 18:42

Michael83815: I've reported a bug like that on a nonprotected site. So it's being tracked!

postas 27. June 2008, 18:50

hi,

that was quick, but plz dont forget the biggest bug on http://www.fujifilm.ch/ , move the mouse over the menu, dont work on winxp sp3.

EricJH 27. June 2008, 18:52

Sweet......:hat:

solsektor 27. June 2008, 18:53

Thanks for fixing the "Double Click - Open URL"-thingy. At least for now it works. I think.:right:

ADuda 27. June 2008, 18:55

Downloading... 9.51 full must be really close :wink:

dZeus 27. June 2008, 19:03

great, all the crashes with the WMP plugin I experienced were fixed! Keep up the good work!!!

Next up for me to waive around with, is my next-biggest pet-peeve:

[bug-338930] Rightclicking a non-link element (like a page or image) and getting the menu for that element, immediately followed by right-clicking a link element will lead to the selection of that last menu being ignored (like right-clicking a link and pressing open in background)

This one is lowering usability quite a bit for me, and a very easily reproducable bug in Opera!

zadar 27. June 2008, 19:05

soo here i go again ...

http://www.enbw.com/content/de/privatkunden/index.jsp

site is not working properly, the text is some kind messed up in the
middle of the screen . (also confirmed by other users )

Junyor 27. June 2008, 19:05

@aschaab: Emptying trash works fine here...

elyon 27. June 2008, 19:07

Oh, great!

I encountered a line break issue last night when I started using WordPress again and sure enough this morning it's fixed.

Thanks!

Both in that case. :wink:
This test table should not has ROWSPAN=2 in last TR. If you remove it, bug will dissapears.
But Opera has buggy behaviour here too.

fearphage 27. June 2008, 19:12

Easy to fix does not mean it will get fixed quickly. Also you may be incorrect in how easy it actually is (code-wise). Also, Opera has a bts to inform them of what bugs are not fixed. You have filed the bug i assume so you are relatively done. http://snapshot.opera.com/faq#what-feedback

Anyone have any more info on this? Just curious

Transfers Tab Shell Context Menu Workaround:
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=236527

I guess you could call it an extension if you want to sound cool!
To voice my own opinion, I don't miss it at all. I would much rather open explorer to change files. Opera is platform independent, it really doesnt make sense to include a piece of Windows as a part of Opera's interface. Besides, I usually leave an explorer window floating around because I use QTTabBar (http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/).

Which problem is this again? It sounds familiar but I can't place it. For a second, I thought you meant this, but that's not it:

I'm guessing he was aware of that since he submitted the reports to that system. Perhaps he was wondering why they haven't been addressed or even implicitly asking for a scrap of information about them (I'm reminded of Dickens' Oliver Twist asking for another bowl of soup). The black-hole system of bug reporting is completely stacked in Opera's favor, so as you know it's quite frustrating.

solsektor 27. June 2008, 19:56

I meant the problem you linked. It's really fixed.

Not here it isn't. Only "com" is highlighted, as usual. How could you be seeing anything different? Are you not on Windows?

h*tp://www.blahblah.com

Not confirmed here.

Fixed an issue that caused unwanted line breaks in rich text editors.



When I write mail using GMail and press Enter, it still skips a line.
Also, a heavenforum.com forum rich text editor skips lines.

Looks like line breaks aren't fixed everywhere :frown:

vithar 27. June 2008, 20:23

Is the slow connecting to HTTPS site in Mac version will be fixed in 9.51? This is very-very annoying!

noroslo 27. June 2008, 20:26

@nitemarell
you may want set Site Pref of url support.dell.com, network: identify as FF, 'open' aka '[+] button' works then.

ilyabirman 27. June 2008, 20:36

In 9.5 you have introduced a bug when "Reload image" on the popup menu would just ignore your click in 1/3 cases. I browse with images turned off and use "Reload image" (which must have been named "Show image" first time) to show the ones I want. So since 9.5 in some cases if you click Reload image it just behaves as if you have not clicked anything - ignores you.

zipatei 27. June 2008, 20:44

Regression serious with the community site hi5.

bug-343916

solsektor 27. June 2008, 20:47

Damn. I take back everything I said. The bug is still there. Double-clicking on "h*tp://www.blahblah.com" highlights "com", clicking a third time highlights "blahblah.com", and a forth time everything.

That's OK for me and it works as long as the URL stands for its own. But when the URL follows a sentence there is another problem:
for example on https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/5579 there is a URL "http://piclens.com/demo". Double-Clicking highlights "demo", third: "com/demo". Clicking a forth time hightlights the whole paragraph! Instead of just the whole URL. :frown: That's really annoying.

fherrerav 27. June 2008, 21:01

The pdf problem is really important (bug-343909, bug-343262). It works ok in some site but not in others. I have to switch to FF to see my estatements awww

Nuri 27. June 2008, 21:09

After i updated to rc all flash content suddenly wants more cpu, the same youtube video sometime becomes choppy, but with the older opera version it plays fine. I use the same flash version. Can somebody confirm this?

solsektor 27. June 2008, 21:10

@fherrerav

Have you tried to change the settings for the MIME-type application/pdf? (STRG+F12 > Downloads)
I've set it to "open with standard application" and it works fine.

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf opens just fine here. Only delay is in Acrobat starting the plugin, that always takes some time when it is the first in a session. Latest Acrobat Reader plugin version here on WinXP.

Diam0nd 27. June 2008, 21:13

del.icio.us bookmarking is fixed in this build. I don't know whether is was done intentionally or not, but it's effectively gone. Thank you SO much! :D

Did this work in 9.50? Otherwise, it is not so important now.

Regression from 9.50: Printing crashes Opera

As I have written before (http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/2258991?startidx=150#comment5554975), printing recently has been messed up under i386-Linux. Instead of printing with a locally connected printer (BSD lpr/lpd line printer spooling system) or a local program, Opera either does nothing or, even better, it crashes. Build #2050 works fine. The current build (opera-9.51-2059.gcc4-shared-qt3.i386.tar.bz2) and build #2052 don't.

kyleabaker 27. June 2008, 21:17

I hope we start cramming a ton of changes into these RC's and make them last. I for one would like to see Opera 9 die with 9.54...like 7.54 and 8.54. :wink:

It'd be a cool thing for Opera and mostly even get extra coverage, haha. Hopefully Opera 10 will be released very soon after 9.54 so we can continue the tradition and steady growth with the good luck that x.54's seem to bring. P:

I'd like to see another rich text editing bug fixed before 9.51 is released.
bug-300646
I reported it a day under 6 months ago and it's a very annoying bug. I encounter it everywhere, but sites such as Gmail (occasionally happens there, compose seems fine, but sometimes it doesn't work in the rich text box when replying to a message) and WordPress (TinyMCE) are the most common places that I see it and I'm sure others do as well.

Those were filed today and yesterday. Not quite sure what you want to accomplish with listing them here now... When there is a release candidate for a new release, the only thing we really want to know is whether there are serious regressions compared with the last final release (9.50). I've commented separately on the PDF issue.

Regression with drag&drop in textarea/input field

"The PDF problem is really important (bug-343909, bug-343262). It works OK in some site but not in others. I have to switch to FF to see my estatements"

Why not try this software in place of Acrobat.

http://www.pdfxviewer.com/

It's totally free and work very well with Opera.

Please add some details, and if it is not a regression from 9.50, it is not relevant to testing the release candidate for 9.51.
