Also, can't install any addons in x64 build (clean install). http://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/ will never load. Loads perfectly fast in x86 build and in any other browser.
Edit. Tryed to restart browser, but Opera crashed. After restart, addons.opera.com loaded.

Imports mail fine, halfway through checking mail for the first time it freezes and then crashes, and then crashes on every single re-start.
Cant submit crash logs as it crashes before they are submitted.

Congratulations!
For me there are only one wish -
Address Bar -> me type address site -> opera is looking for names of sites and tells me - AUTOMATICALLY
how to get it?

Please enable this setting.

Opera snapshots have generally been good for me..Except this one..Hope it's fixed soon..

Pressing "OK" button doesn't work to close the message. You need to press "X" to close it.

1. Settings -> Preferences -> Webpages
set [Images] dropdown to [Show images]
2. Open a new tab
3. Load a page
4. Select [No images] as view mode for the tab
5. Click mouse wheel on a link
Expected: new bg tab with [No images]
Actual: new bg tab with [Show images]
Opening the same link using context menu works as expected (No images)
Windows 7 x86

The Youtube website is particularly painful to use. Webpages often freeze until they are fully loaded.

* I can't type within input elements including on the web and Opera UI search + address bar
* Can't change page zoom and it doesn't matter whether I'm using + or drag zoom slider
* I can't use shortcut ctrl+ enter for saved passwords
* Webpage is not responding to Space press or up|down arrows use
Note: this is not a permanent Opera behavior but takes minutes. This is not a freeze as I can use scroll, close tab and open new website(which address I've typed earlier and can chose it from dropdown list of previously typed URL )

Bug or intentional?
I think 11.62 looks better.

Before Build 1359, a new tab got the same settings as the tab from where the new tab was opened.

Bottom of the bar has a video freeze and can't get to the controls. Seems to happen on anything using video like pictures. the bottom section where I have my windows tray bar plays havaoc. Rarely check the alpha of late but huffingtonposts facebook share popup crashes everytime. So checked this one out and still the same problem. Not just this computer either...Gölök Zoltán Leenderdt Franco BudayOrff # Sunday, April 8, 2012 12:21:58 AM
