I really hope you put back the duplicate/clone gesture as it does not work at all anymore (down-up on empty space)! And I use it all the time. Please put it back!

Congratulations for the release and 6.7 million downloads the first day!

And thank you for your effort and wish you merry christmas.

Kinda suggestion:
----------------
Since most Chrome WebApps are only icons linking to websites, would it be possible to make some changes to Opera's dialup in order to assign any page listed as big icons instead? haha just kidding.

Opera already supports HTML5, and it has quite advanced HTML5 support too, unlike what some seem to believe.

100% cpu on mac and I have no idea, why (chrome has awesome Task Manager that tells you how much cpu/mem/net each tab uses). it also keeps freezing from time to time (not responding, had to force quit). I did a clean install. after a day I got tired and reverted back to 10.63. sad

It's in there, you just have to be careful to make the up stroke at least as long as the down stroke, so that the second stroke ends above the starting point of the gesture. Pretty inconvenient, but it sounds like this is going to be fixed in the next release or so.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but on the mac, a pinned tab still shows the 'pin' on top of the favicon. Can you remove that?

Cannot confirm at all, I use extensions, userjs, bookmarklets, extensive urlfilter blocking, everything works fine.

Here's how to easy reproduce this bug, install Fanboys' urlfilter.ini (or any other, i guess they all do the job), install this simple userscript that makes the PirateBay favicon transparent, open Piratebay's homepage and see the favicon is indeed transparent, that the userscript fired and it works, then open a user or a torrent page (the one with a lot of ads, that will be blocked) and notice the favicon doesn't change at all. If you disable the content blocker for only PirateBay or globally, ads load and the userscript works and changes the favicon on every piratebay page.

Help, i wrote about this error on RC1 but you did not fix it

i have problem with tabs
i used to replace tabs at the right of screen
but whin i want to hold scroll bar tabs gone
and i have to replace them to top and restart and then again to the right
plz help this happening to me 10 times in every day

please

h0mayun Saturday, December 18, 2010 6:27:59 PM

i think this occur because scroll bar close to tabs and opera wants to resize tabs , but suddenly tab bar hides

nanovision Saturday, December 18, 2010 6:48:24 PM

I am using Opera 10.63.
Here are some suggestions in the ongoing evolution of Opera:

1. Amazon book view does not work - please fix, if possible.
2. I use browsers with maybe a hundred or more tabs and 20 to 50 browsers concurrently open. I go between technical applications using USB, Ethernet, and Serial ports. Like an IDE programmer, it would be practical -- for me anyway -- to organize browsers by project so a set of links and even applications could open with a given project and a project management area.
3. Side tabbed user defined options that expand on demand.
4. Voice board integration so you could use browser with voice commands.
5. youtube video theme sessions.

@nanovision: in terms of Amazon book view: Well you can mask Opera as Internet Explorer (that said, a fix would be better)

Commaster Saturday, December 18, 2010 7:20:58 PM

Please, check this:
Create one Unite service (say, FileSharing) and rename it and its address.
Create one more same service and rename it and its address.
Check the address of the second service.
I keep getting file_sharing. More over, the "renamed" address is taken.

Hmm, it did what you described...but it has to be some more specific problem because I only use FlashBlock and YousableTubeFix and both have no problems with Fanboy's urlfilter.ini.

Great news hopefully for some of you. this is not on the Opera extension page as of yet but has just officially been released by WOT for Opera. A must have extension in my books. this is the link for the download.

Opera already supports HTML5, and it has quite advanced HTML5 support too, unlike what some seem to believe.

When I check it against http://html5test.com it gets only 177. Chrome gets 240+ and FF4 gets 215+. That is what I meant when I said doesn't support HTML5. HTML5 tokenizer, HTML5 tree building and WebGL are just samples.

Forget that crap test, it is biased.

If you want to test for HTML5, go for the real thing and cross check the results for yourself:
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Testsuite

The Editor of the HTML5 spec writes this to the state of the testsuite(s).

Would you *please* return back to the old mouse gesture sensitivity? It really annoys me when I can't draw the gestures small enough.

I don't think it is biased. But I decided to check before I reply so I found this link: http://www.w3.org/2009/04/video-player.xhtml Play it with Opera and then with FF4(beta 7 x86) or Chromium(I have 10)(IE also doesn't work). You will see the difference.

I just found a bug :
I was reading one of my favourite blog on this page : http://www.bouletcorp.com/blog/index.php?date=20101218

At the top, in the menu, when the mouse goes over the characters, they make some noises/screams.

When I'm in another tab (even if it is speedial), when I put my mouse where the characters are (in a background panel), they keep make the noises/screams.

Opera : 11
OS : Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5

I also would like to tell that I really love Opera since the 9 version, and this 11 is really awesome !! Thank you so much !!

A nice release...except...

Testing on my Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit system, I find that with normal mouse gestures:

*Managing my bookmarks during cut/paste operations right click on mouse does not function when renaming files in 'Properties'view. RESULT in BOOKMARKS crashing forcing me to reopen 'MANAGE BOOKMARKS'. Reported as BUG #DSK-323149

*With opened URLs/webpages, holding down CTL key and drop/drag to SPEED DIAL from BOOKMARKS and NOTES does not work as in pre 10.51 builds. Reported as BUG #DSK-323150

*Also, typing just only the web page URL name (cnn instead of cnn.com) I get google info page for that website...very annoying, unlike pre 10.00 builds.

You shouldn't check against that site, since it's misleading. Not only does it only test parts of html5, but it tests things that have got nothing to do with html5. The scores also seem kind of random, as if the guy who made that page decided to award extra points for things he personally likes.

sebt Sunday, December 19, 2010 8:05:56 AM

I'd like to add my voice to the many who've expressed concerns over Opera's new mouse gestures. In an earlier post olli indicated


We will look into the mouse gesture feedback after the 11 release and evaluate if we need to change it. The mouse gesture algorithm is tied up to the new UI, so to get back to the old way is not a small task.


...and as a programmer I do understand the difficulties in reversing a major module-replacement in software. However, imo the solution is not necessarily to just abandon new and somehow reintroduce old code; a better solution is to understand the details of why behaviour is unsatisfactory and to refine the existing codebase. Let's look at some of the specifics:

1. Back (rightclick+left) and forward (leftclick+right) sometimes don't work. The reason appears to be focus related, because my current workaround involves clicking somewhere in the page before performing the gesture, which usually restores correct behaviour.

Presently Opera is suffering some lost focus issues, both with the mouse and keyboard. Even trusty old F9, the key that restored keyboard focus to the page, doesn't work when keyboard focus is lost. These issues need careful examination to restore the consistent and reliable usability Opera users have come to love. The new slide-in modeless wand/in page find/etc. boxes may have some bearing on this because as I recall a number of focus problems started when they were introduced. An additional side effect of their introduction was the loss of keyboard shortcuts to action them.

2. "Swipe" gestures of the type guided by the new UI seem to be working unpredictably in two ways:
a) getting the gesture wrong: most typically (for me) this means that the "L" (close tab) gesture results in a "down" (new page) action. Opera used to be very reliable here and I could close 5 or 6 pages in with successive quick "L" swipes.
b) not recognising the gesture at all: typically I will try "L" 2 or 3 times before giving up in frustration. Sometimes clicking on the page will restore the gesture behaviour, sometimes I need to activate another tab and come back. This problem, then, may be connected with (1) above in being somehow focus related.
c) gesture recognition change. It feels like the algorithm for detecting the gesture has changed and in the process become more "picky". For example the L gesture "just worked" in the past, but now if the right stroke is not within certain percentage of the downstroke, the gesture is either misread or ignored.

It is possible that various types of page content are interfering with the new gesture code. I haven't looked into this extensively - apart from the fact that gestures won't work over live Flash plugins (the case in Opera 10.10 as well) - but this should be looked at. My feeling is that the new gesture code's behaviour is impacted both by focus and certain aspects of the DOM tree that are under the mouse when the gesture is performed.

My reasoning for wanting the old gestures back is more down to the fact that they just work, apart from the predictable (and avoidable) situation with flash plugins. The new system doesn't just work, and the anomalies are not easy to predict or avoid, transforming gestures from something beautiful in to a real PITA. Perhaps in conjunction with refining the current gesture code the whole issue of focus (mouse and keyboard) needs a good look to restore consistent usability to Opera's UI.

It's not that the score changes randomly. It's that different things are assigned different weight seemingly randomly (one thing gives lots of points, while another gives nearly nothing). I explained that this was likely the person who made the page letting his personal preferences shine through. As such, it is not an objective measurement of even the things the page does test.
