@Opera team: Why don't you add words like "drag any button to desired toolbar" in Appearance > Buttons ? New users don't even know for those superior Opera functions. It's just confusing to them, so many items in menus, some listed twice...

Did you guys try it with a new Opera profile?

When loading large images, Opera only displays the first ~5% and then stops showing the rest during the download until the image completely loaded.
For example, have a look at todays full size picture from Astronomy Picture of the Day.
Confirmations?

I don't see that error on deviantART, neither when being logged in, nor when being logged out, and that's why I suggested that you should try it again with a new Opera (!) profile. It might be that your configuration files are somehow corrupted and cause strange behavior on certain pages, so it's always a good idea to check what happens to problematic websites when using Opera with default settings.

Confirmed on windows 7 64bit. Thats the problem with image rendering as i said this one must be fixed ASAP.

The last three times I have closed this 10.5 beta, I have gotten the crash dialog, stating the program had an error and had to close.
I sent the crash dialog report the first two times without comment. Next time it happens, I guess I will comment that "what I was doing" at the time of the crash was closing opera.

Likewise, I've had some serious lag when operating with 2 windows open and multiple tabs (20 or so). It'll just hang for 20 to 40 seconds. If I try and close a tab it'll take like 12 seconds. If I try and open a new tab, same deal. Very weird.
Mibbit.com doesn't load skins now (worked before, now, it loads their javascript app but not the user skin as it is supposed to). Worked 10.10.
Though, it looks like some of the crashes have been fixed I'm not sure why I'm having so many problems with some of my primary sites.
Fingers Crossed.

Sulphide # Monday, February 15, 2010 8:38:21 AM
i've got 2 monitors each of them connected to 2 vcards, main card is onboard, secondary is 8800gt, 8800 is set to main monitor in windows properties but its number 2, win7 even makes it main by default, because it is more powerful. sometimes opera tab preview windows appear on "onboard monitor" (monitor 1, opera is on the 2nd) (even they are off in settings) so do "download complete hint"... when i temporaly make onboard monitor main (monitor 1 and opera is on the 2nd), and then switch back to 8800 as main (monitor 2, opera is here too) i can see this behaviour 100%..

I don't know if this was already reported or not, but everytime I click on a personal bar favicons/bookmarks they change their position
@Ayespy I have seen this a couple of times, but not always.
Confirmed jmaraujo , favicons on personal bar change their position.

A already like the possibility to set it by editing site preferences, though it's not possible to set scripts depending on domain name, but i think providing an easy to access menu, like in NoScript can make Opera more popular among those who wouldn't try any other browser than FF because of the ease of use of NoScript.
nikitashiamhorny # Monday, February 15, 2010 10:15:29 AM
typical is 4x,8x,12x.... and soon but x104 is huge maybe some text problem.
Also opera turbo works on some sites not on always.
Danieledarklink88 # Monday, February 15, 2010 10:23:06 AM
BTW... what about a new build?
Hélio Costahlegius # Monday, February 15, 2010 10:46:44 AM
BTW... what about a new build ? Linux version is too unstable yet with some bugs
- Configuration buttons at Speed dial window doesn't work.
- Unexpected closes occurs (I'm reporting all :])
- Fonts doesn't has anti-aliasing (not in websites, but in Opera)
and Opera could integrate with OpenGL for an Opera's Transparent Skin
well, good job guys ! Opera rules !
Hélio Costahlegius # Monday, February 15, 2010 10:58:50 AM
I just switched to another virtual workspace and when I returned to first one, Opera Window's size has been crashed :/
After this, take a look where my "helper" address bar was located: http://twitpic.com/13dy3a/full
Strange bug !

But I'd recommend people giving the default option a chance as this is likely to become more common in Windows 7 applications.
EDIT: oh and I've noticed that, when using multiple monitors (in Win7 64bit), if you hover over a browser tab the preview will display on a different screen. This seems to happen when there are >3 tabs.
