By Tim Altman. Friday, 29. August 2008, 13:18:21
We're making steady progress on Opera 9.6, fixing several of the issues reported within the last week. Please continue to test and report problems help us improve Opera. Thank you!
PS: Don't forget to wish Jon a Happy Birthday (that's "Gratulerer med dagen" in Norwegian). Five other employees had their birthdays today, too!

- When setting opera:config#TransferWindow|KeepEntriesDays to 0, actually remove transfer history when restarting

Didn't expect a build today (despice the fact it is a Friday). Great

It still annoys me that the Windows Media Player plugin is deleted during an upgrade. I have to keep a spare copy elsewhere on my machine to replace it.

Also, connecting to some SSL-enabled sites (for example, those using CAcert) still takes ages.
These two bugs are a major impairment in usability. I find it frustrating that you let them through to the production releases of Opera 9.5...

When I select an adress thats a bit down in the adressbar-dropdown it is not moved to the top like it used to do in Opera 9.27.
This has been broken since some of the 9.50 betas.... and i really miss it!!!!

But I still have one burning question:
When will we finally see a shared Qt 4 build?
The statically build ones just don't integrate too well and Qt 4 is installed on more and more systems anyway.
Thanks!

I've got a nice proposition
Opera is the "fastest browser on Earth" ?
So why not jump to the v9.69 in dedication to lightning Bolt ?

Try to set this value to 5. It works on my configuration.

If the page doesn't have text input tag along with the password tag it will ALWAYS ask if you want to save to Wand.
The next time you are on the page you can click on the wand button and it will enter the password as it should and submit the page BUT it will also ask if you want to save the password AGAIN. If there is a text input tag it will never do this.
<form action="admin.php" method="post">
<input type="password" name="admin_password" size="20" maxlength="20">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
This form will ALWAYS cause Opera to ask if you want to save to Wand when you click on the Wand button even though it is already saved.
<form action="admin.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="admin_name" size="20" maxlength="20">
<input type="password" name="admin_password" size="20" maxlength="20">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
If you add the text input above this problem goes away. Once saved to wand it will never ask you to save it again.
It's like Opera gets confused if there isn't a text input tag and that causes it to ALWAYS ASK if you want to save to wand even though the data is already in wand and you have just used it.
You could have...
<form action="admin.php" method="post">
<select name="game_number">
</select>
<input type="password" name="admin_password" size="20" maxlength="20">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
... a select tag and it will ALWAYS ask if you want to save to wand even through the data is saved and you just clicked on the wand.
As soon as you add a text input tag the problem goes away.
<form action="admin.php" method="post">
<select name="game_number">
</select>
<input type="text" name="admin_name" size="20" maxlength="20">
<input type="password" name="admin_password" size="20" maxlength="20">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Use the above and you are never asked to save after the data is saved to the Wand the first time but remove the text input tag and every time you use the Wand on that page it will ask if you want to save to wand.

Because I can't all I get is my cursor changing from the normal arrow head to the move pointer as though I wanted to move the window.
Hope you can understand it's not the easiest thing to explain.

If you switch to an application other than Opera, and drag its window over the top of Opera, the silver bar in the default opera skin does not redraw correctly.
Minimizing and restoring Opera fixes the problem.

a feature which auto-sync's history-entries with more than X calls on the local computer would be nice

This build, together with the first 9.60 build, is terrible on Ubuntu
But, these are of course testbuild

I've tried this both with a 9.5.x profile and a clean installation.
