Mirror, mirror on the wall, which browser is the fairest of them all?
By Wojciech Dzierżanowskiwdzierzan. Monday, April 23, 2012 12:19:53 PM
RTL support in the UI will be receiving some amount of polish before the final release of Wahoo, but we are happy to give you a preview already. If your Windows or *NIX OS language is one of Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew or Urdu, your Opera experience will be RTL automatically. That's because the direction of the UI is now determined by the direction of the UI language set in Opera. Note that you can override the default language selection by going to Preferences -> General and picking a language from the Language drop-down, or making even more fine-grained customizations by clicking the Details… button right next to it.
Happy RTL testing and keep the feedback coming!

But there at least two (quite old) skin bugs left :
- Set the tab bar to the bottom, then pull it to the top to show thumbnails. Try to click on the menu button -> it goes down.
- the progress bar goes behind the address bar since xxx/xxx elements.
EDIT : Why have you replaced the trash by an arrow ? It's less intuitive now

Unfortunately Opera Next still crashes on PDF.js Viewer but 11.6x works flawlessly. [OS X 10.7.3]. Please fix this crasher until final!

Three problems that have been present in the last three builds now:
http://files.distorted.se/files/Bilderman%202012.04.24%2010-05-13.png
1) If you expand and then collapse a tab group the new tab + Get multiplied and drawn several times. (see left of picture below tabs)
2) The menu bar is incorrectly drawn.
3) Dragging for example google map drags away the image and does not pan the map as intended. (Not possible to screenshot).

However, I like the new speed dial design. Guess it's less resource-hungry. Nevertheless, DSK-357319 (speed dial loses focus) still happens with the new design as well

thank you for supporting RTL in UI - I tested with "Farsi" , but when I add Farsi in details section and move it up > click ok, Language box will set to Farsi but Opera UI will remain in English,
2.
one more important part to fix is an issue with parsing RTL characters(especially Farsi , Arabic) , Opera fails to distinguish characters in these languages (Farsi in my tests), for example for this link :
http://www.winbeta.net/15521/
به is defined as one character but it consists of بـ + ـه , and opera fails to detect ; for some other characters that opera distinguishes correctly it has problem with selecting and highlighting them.
به was an example, there are other examples that exist and need to be fixed like صا that consists of صـ + ـا in the word مشخصات (two words before به in the pictures) and some others. Opera needs an attention in this part to show and highlight correctly RTL languages.
look at these pictures for differences between Chrome 20(shows correctly) and Opera 12:
http://pictat.com/i/2012/4/24/21316untitled.png

http://pictat.com/i/2012/4/24/18030untitled5.png
http://pictat.com/i/2012/4/24/31006untitled6.jpg
p.s.as you may know there are two forms of characters in (Farsi,Arabic) : short forms and long forms ( like small and capital in English)
for example شـ is short forms of ش ;
and بـ is short forms of ب ;
and this problem exists since v9.x till now ,
p.s.2 :
the link introduced above is not the only link that Opera fails in, all the links that are written in Farsi are included like :
http://narenji.ir/
http://www.zoomit.ir/
http://www.persiancall.net/
http://1pezeshk.com/

Hell yes and is working great in Windows 7 x64. Just a simple suggestion: add some kind of visual feedback from Opera acknowledging the operation (either blinking the task bar icon or gaining focus would do), otherwise it felts like nothing happened.
Keep the great work!

Re this build:
External links are opened in the same window/tab (Reuse current tab unchecked)

most common users used to use this in addressbar for history, so now there are two same icons (down arrows) with different behaviour

Can you try to reproduce the crash, and fill in the e-mail address field? I'll take a look at what the crash is about.
Thanks.
