Can you maybe provide a list of changes in .ini sor what was changed? So people who are using custom ones, could stay up to date as well?

I either have to use the 9.60 version BEFORE last fridays release or a totally different browser to log into Capital One.
Kind of makes paying a persons bills a pain. Sigh...

They have a bug tracking system for that. They don't need you to remind them of what they didn't fix. Read here: http://snapshot.opera.com/faq.html#what-feedback
@staff: bug #366022 should be marked as a regression within the last few builds (few weeks)

Try to select HP and then select any printer Model. Several times Opera crashed on this website.

This is something that's been bothering me for a while. I hope it is fully fixed. Time to test.

Opera Linux doesn't print the websites correctly. It mess up with the websites frames.

@AKA Panama Jack: Opera fixed capitalone with browser.js and now they updated/changed their code and now its broken again. The responsible code:So browserjs sets it to capitalone.com and then they come along and set it to com. The child frame (iframe) has its domain set to capitalone.com so the two can no longer communicate. I wish they didn't suck at coding and life.

For now - but will the shared builds be back before the final release of 9.6?

I noticed yesterday that Opera seems to have a serious problem with CSS property overflow:auto;
As you can see on:
http://andresruizperez.freehyperspace4.com/index2.html
The central DIV is misplaced but it's the same file than:
http://andresruizperez.freehyperspace4.com/index.html
But index2.html has "overflow:auto;" and a reduced height to get the scroll bar: Opera sends that div id="content" to the right so it is over the other div with the Opera ad.
As you can test, the document is full 100% Web Standard with no errors nor warnings.
And if you test the index2.html in anyother browser it will be ok with things in good place, I tested on Safari3, Firefox 3 and Crome...ONLY Opera missplaces the div id="content". The difference bwtween index.html and index2.html is only the overflow=auto; so I thing there is something wrong with Opera...can you confirm ? is my mistake? why only in Opera ?

rseiler # 1. October 2008, 21:23
Say what?! Why?
Before 9.5, there was a startup speed penalty (and maybe more) for having this setting much above the default of 500. Plus, Opera didn't have much of a URL search feature to speak of.
But as of 9.5, the default was raised to 5000 since it had better search and the speed penalty went away.
But now you're lowering it to 1000?
You do realize that FF defaults to 3 *months* of URL history, right? That's the point of an awesome bar, to find where you've been.
I'd be lucky if a setting of 1000 in Opera lasted me 3 days (yes, I realize it's adjustable, but that's beside the point--few normal people would ever know that). Heck, even IE defaults to 3 weeks.
Unless there's a spectacularly good reason, guys, change it back.
EagleMKD # 1. October 2008, 21:53
I'm disturbed.
marcorion # 1. October 2008, 22:02
I suspect the shared builds were pulled due to UI issues and lots of unreadbale text....unless you managed to find a miracle theme.
@Jada0007
Confirmed. As a matter of fact-on my E17 box, that website on Opera took down my entire window manager
squillaz # 1. October 2008, 22:14
You still can't access the emails tho. It picks up that an email was received but won't display it.
This isn't working as well on windows build (xp pro sp3): http://www.live365.com/index.live
It was reported working on last OSX build, not sure if it still is.

bug-357315 still here (When "drag&dropping" text selection inside a form field, Opera make a copy/paste instead of a cut/paste of this text selection.)
Perhaps only for Windows builds ?

Thanks for great work !

Build 2436 made progress with bug 357295....QT4 build 2440 is a step backwards on that account. The "content tearing" is worse, but also won't easily go away. Build 2436 I can just scroll-or defocus the Opera window, to resolve the content---none of those tricks work in 2440.

I was waiting for the final 9.6, great!
