For future reference, when is it OK to talk about problems relative to 9.27 or even 9.50 betas? Because it seems that with any release of 9.51 thus far they haven't been entertained here even when they outweigh recent regressions.
Will it be OK with 9.52? Surely they're not going to have to wait until next year with v10, right?
Also on the subject of testing, I'm unclear why the list of fixes presented today wouldn't have naturally been listed as Known Issues in earlier builds. They look important and widespread enough to me, and they were certainly known.

I have deleted so many rows as possible by making the testcase and have forgotten this rowspan in the last row.

If we ask for general feedback. Currently, we are trying to release an update that fixes some serious issues. So we want to be sure it only contains improvements over 9.50. We are quite aware that not all wishes and problems that have been mentioned in the past year are going to be solved with 9.51. A "Release Candidate" means that we've made up our mind about what stuff is important enough (and sometimes easy enough) to get fixed right now. At other times, when a build is not called a Release Candidate, more general feedback can be useful. But even then if there is too much of it, it can drown out new serious issue that really need attention. It takes quite some effort to find the useful bits (for the current focus we have) in the comments on this and the previous RC...There's the forums to discuss everything you like and don't like about Opera 9.50.

might these fixes be the reason this build feels a bit quicker & smoother

Not only am I just more or another. It is a bug that Opera has. I'm also here to use the latest version of Adobe Acrobat. And the use WinXP SP3.
But the same computer and in Opera 9.27, the PDF's work properly through the plug.
Something is wrong.

I logged into my bank - Westpac - with RC2 and saw the correct security notification in the task bar. It's been a while since I have seen that happen in Opera. Nice and reassuring work, many thanks.
He then quietly breaths a sigh of relief.

I don't want the width of the search field dropdown to be decreased. But this is not the right place to discuss things like that anyway. Please read the "Desktop Team FAQ", section III, paragraphs A & F.

Did I indicate anywhere that things that don't get fixed in 9.51 are not important? But you filed this bug this friday, I'm not sure how you think this can be fixed a few hours laters, whatever it is. I haven't investigated it. A test account would be rather useful... If it isn't a regression from 9.50, it will not harm any Portuguese user if we release 9.51 to replace 9.50, right?eddib # 28. June 2008, 01:53
i get this message in the download window
"it is not sure wether this file is safe, are you sure you want to download it?"
FataL # 28. June 2008, 02:09
Try to download file from this page (enter some e-mail and click Download button): http://site.xara.com/downloads/getdetails.asp
I found that transfer stopped almost immediately after start -- 800 bytes was downloaded.
This is not the first time I experienced this with Opera 9.5
Anyone else?

Just get HTML extension, when it supposed to be RAR from http://ifolder.ru

Well, clicking that link resulted in freezing. Giving Opera 9.51 the benefit of doubt, I'll blame my old win xp PC.
However, it would benefit mainstream users if a message did pop up explaining the delay... caused by site loading a plugin, applet, etc.
(new users would think Opera is slow)
zoquete # 28. June 2008, 03:00
Even if these bugs have lower priority they are very visible and should be fixed in 9.51, when they have not been fixed in 9.5.
Stop discussing with me, this is not the right place for it. Thanks

Still...
This site still crashes (since 9.5 RC1): http://www.cinemaemcena.com.br/Ficha_filme.aspx?id_critica=7192&id_filme=2444&aba=critica
And the following bugs are NOT related with websites; they're Opera core/app bugs:
- If you open a new window, you can open how much transfers tabs you want in the first window. Really weird.
- CTRL and link click still doesn't open the link in the same tab. But 9.2x does.
- Sometimes the Personal Bar bookmark icons dissapear without any sense. See:
Normal:

Bug (I can't reproduce it when I want):

The following bugs are related with websites:
- The Opera Snapshot FAQ has serious problems with text selection and copy: http://snapshot.opera.com/faq.html#packages;
- www.framebuffer.com.br site can't post a message seeing the font formatation tool bar;

When you right click some text in Opera 9.5, you can choose Go to Web Address. But if the text is in a link, that option is gone.
This is lame. Why would Opera Devs wanna remove such a useful feature.!!??
Fiddling with the menu file to get this functionality is not the way forward.
This has changed for the worse in 9.5.
zoquete # 28. June 2008, 05:39
If the text allready is a link, no need to use right click. Just click on it with left mouse button.
rseiler # 28. June 2008, 06:15
(This is not to be confused with the tray icon on the right side, which signifies Opera is running.)
It's bad form to do that without asking the user first during the install.

It works fine on 9.10 and 9.27 though.
Please, could you fix it on 9.51?

For example in Spanish of Latin America are used different terms for things, and the language differs in some words a lot. That's the reason for 2 versions of "the same language". But in fact the languega is not the same, even if it still is en, es, zh. Zh-tw is chines of thai-wan.

Not having Vista, I'm not sure what you mean. Note that Opera doesn't ask for such things when you use the MSI installer to 'Upgrade', it will simply reuse the previous choices. If you use the option 'Seperate installation', even if you don'y actually change the file paths, you'll get the options again for where to install shortcuts.Petr Reznicek # 28. June 2008, 09:40

"Fixed an issue that would prevent pages from closing on Qt4 builds."
But I still have problems loading http://www.cnr.com/
Opera shows a part of the page, but does not show the list of available packages.
Navigating within the page is not working too.
I tried the page with Firefox and had no problems.
I tried editing "site preferences" with Identify as FF or Mask as FF, which sometimes makes the page load correctly, but had no luck in this case.
John Barnett # 28. June 2008, 10:46
Can anyone confirm this please.
