New Wahoo 12.00 build with rendering and Speed Dial improvements

By Ruarí Ødegaardruario. Friday, September 2, 2011 1:07:16 PM

, ,

After a successful 11.51 release we are now back on track and working towards 12.00 (Wahoo).

Some core highlights include implementation of fully CSS 2.1 compliant display:list-item and a fix to prevent the cache from growing past its allowed limit (Edit: the cache fix needs more work).

Regarding that last point, if the fix works as expected, Opera should not go past the cache size. And, after a crash, it should restore to the correct size. If you can check the cache size after a crash, and also after correctly closing Opera following a crash, that would be much appreciated.

On the Desktop side we have made the animations much nicer when you move Speed Dials around.

Of course there are plenty of other great fixes, so scroll down and have a look! wink

WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes, and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

So you say I should consider this as a fixed bug??? This is hilarious. When I try to scroll a page and the scrolling is stopped abrupt only because plugin content is embedded and I can only scroll further when I move the cursor away from the plugin content, then this is of course a very very very wrong behavior for me.
I understood this as a fix for a scrolling iframe (with plugin content), even if scrolling=no is set in the iframe. This is/was also a wrong behavior and like the "new" one completely different from how other browsers work.

You are speaking about linked site or about applied skin? Site works fine in 11.51 and 12.00 1054. But if you are talking about skin i haven't changed and if when u apply it browser is freezing it mean that something is wrong with skin, not with browser.

When I go to that link Opera Freezes for a short time, then behaves really erratically, using 25% CPU on my quad core. As soon as I close the tab Opera starts behaving correctly again. I am on Win 7 x64.

There's a faulty behaviour when sorting speed dials on OSX. If you press esc when moving an entry it does not flip back to it's original position, but it goes to its new position.

Also there's some pretty strange behaviour on Magic Mouse (maybe all mouses). From time to time the content of one tab moves into another (!). This mostly occurs when having switched a tab foward (with touch gesture) and then clicking a picture. This action does nothing. When then going to the next open tab in this one will be the same page like in the one with the photo that doesn't react on clicking. This problem is pretty complex to explain, maybe somebody else has this too and has made a bit research on it. Next time it occurs for me (like 2 times a day) I'll watch better and explain it here more specifically.

THANK YOU!!

I had this problem as well but when I sent the files to the desktop team they said everything worked fine, but on my system it clearly didn't. I did change the font to Arial in the version I sent to them as I was using a commercial font. What displayed for me was the default cursive font, Times New Roman.

I don't think it's wise of Opera to abandon css files written that way. Especially since, up until 11.50 (and beyond), Opera would display the font without " ". This behaviour basically obsoletes a lot of pages.

I think tomorrow, a one week gap is Opera's common policy. I hope ANY OF THESE come in next snapshot-

1. HTML5 Microdata on Mac and Linux-

July 27 snapshot -
......
CORE-32455 (Plus sign allows text wrap on bild.de)
CORE-25622 (HTML5 microdata): Not complete on Mac and Linux/FreeBSD
CORE-40018 (Crash when accessing expert.no)
.......

2. JS performance updates-

Quote from July 14 snapshot blog post

"We have also updated Carakan to use an improved, compact object model which increases overall performance, and reduces the engine's memory usage by up to 6-7% (in some cases even more).

The Core team will continue to improve on this, and will post a more detailed explanation on the Core Concerns blog in the future, but here's a quick summary from the Core team for now"

As of today neither have we seen an article on Opera Core Concerns blog nor a new snapshot with JS performance updates.

Constantine Vesnac69 Thursday, September 8, 2011 9:38:57 PM

plugins still misbehave - sometimes flash content keeps playing after you close all tabs, purge "trash can", and even delete private data! - you can still hear sound of music, and still see high CPU usage.

Constantine Vesnac69 Thursday, September 8, 2011 9:42:28 PM

Also, "Delete private data" still occasionally fails to delete all content (you can see it in opera:cache).

I still can't rename feed folders. I tried using the default menu setup in case something's changed in it, but it's the same. 'Rename' in the context menu is not greyed out or something, but clicking on it does just nothing.

If you can reproduce with a distro that is still supported by the upstream vendor please report back.

You may also wish to read my blog post on this, since the dependency issue also affected Debian 5 (Lenny), which is still supported. My posting includes a link to a script that you can use to repackage Opera so that it will install without dependency errors. Though personally I would still recommend you updated Ubuntu to a supported version.
