Opera 12 beta
By Huib Kleinhouthuibk. Thursday, April 26, 2012 6:00:25 AM
Check out the new features in Opera 12 beta
Thanks everyone for testing and reporting issues. The upcoming weeks Opera 12 development will focus on stabilization and fixing of regressions. Stay tuned for new snapshots with loads of bugfixes.
If you have hardware acceleration turned on and are experiencing rendering or stability issues, consider turning it off (the default).
Happy testing!

Great work so far
Just one thing: Programmed mouse buttons (Logitech SetPoint software) still revert back to standard behavior
Greetings

3) YT works just fine here with Flash 11.3 x64 (the x86 is disabled through opera:plugins, although the Opera_Plugin_Wrapper is still in 32 bits, weird)

It has to do with how 64-bit versions of Windows work. WOW64 (Windows-on-Windows 64) is the subsystem on these versions that allows them to run 32-bit software. The system files contained in %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64 are for use with 32-bit software. ;-)Originally posted by umzillo:
What you just said is a lie. First, Voice was removed because IBM stopped maintaining it, since the mechanism Opera used for that technology was co-developed with them. Second, Widgets and Unite were deprecated already to focus on a single add-on platform, though it brings some negative consequences, at least in short term. Third of all, if you're not using other features in Opera, then they're not interfering because they're not active in the first place. And Opera is an Internet suite and has always been.

I think there is also memory leak. The memory often climbs up and uses the whole of my computer's memory.

Address field in "Go To Page" window is broken
1 - Text is overlapping the favicon icon
2 - drop down list goes hidden after entering colon ":"

+1 for adding "Camera permissions" in "Delete Private Data" window, but the window is growing in height and does not fit properly on small screens, it can be revamped by splitting the options in 2 columns and remove the delete/clear word as it's understood, like here

I definitely agree with your suggestion. The options should be split in two columns to increase the window's size in width and decrease its height for improving the layout significantly.alharawi # Saturday, April 28, 2012 3:29:49 PM
1. my bookmarks: can't read them from .adr file or sync with link;
2. all dictionaries (even trying to reinstall them with no luck, the only one is english US);
3. in french, there is no text displayed on the master password dialog window when Opera ask for it at startup.
Still quite unstable with 45 tabs in 4 windows, with a graphic card with 256 MB (NVIDIA Geforce 9400M, OpenGL, 10.6.8)

During some tests for the new version of my extension I recognized too, that 11.62 renders everything in a blink while 12 takes it's time, especially when reading values of HTML elements with element.getPropertyValue("foo")
Timing it showed a up to 3 times worse performance compared to the above mentioned Versions.
Normally I don't benchmark unstable versions, but this is a Beta you can find on the Opera download page and such must hold up to higher standards than the usual snapshots we get here.

I must add something about performance of startup times.Yet 3 months and over 115 builds ago Opera startup took 45 seconds (on 270 pages), a bit later, in build 1272 it doubled to 82 seconds. Through last 3 months it grew up again almost 3 times, to a whopping 220 seconds (with 360 pages though).
But that's not all!
3 months ago Opera 12 ended startup phase reliably upon *every* single startup (CPU usage went down from 100% to 0% thus Opera became fully responsive and started to work smoothly). In current builds including Beta it happens like 1 in 10 times - it's like winning in a lottery... 9 in 10 times Opera stays with 100% CPU usage forever so I have to launch and close Opera many times, wait 4 minutes each time, until I encounter a time when Opera loads properly.
And opera:cpu is lying too now - it shows usage of 12% CPU upon startup, when it really is 100%. I guess the most part of CPU usage that previously was displayed as "Other" is now not counted at all. Please fix it too, if it is Vega engine, show it in opera:cpu. Should I file a bug report?
The only good thing I can tell about this buggy and low-performance Beta is that it does not crash for me.
Opera Desktop Team, you really have much to fix - at least revert to the state from 3 months ago - to deserve to boast "improved performance" in news release of Opera 12 final.

"Opera Next" menu button disappears after closing Preferences
Steps:
1. Open pages in few Opera windows.
2. Press Ctrl+F12 to enter Preferences. Change some option in Preferences, e.g. switch off and on "Use Password manager" checkbox on Forms tab.
3. Click OK.
The problem:
The Preferences window closes, but after it disappears, in some Opera windows the "Opera Next" menu button disappears from the tab bar, in some Opera windows it moves to a second line - above tab bar.

I have tested the x64 version with hardware acceleration enabled.
Can anyone account for the poor test results?

It's not just cpu time that opera eats up, I also noticed heavy disk access(disk access led on my laptop blinks heavily) during the times opera is so slow(and I'm pretty sure it's opera that's causing it because closing Opera through the task manager calms it down). Enabling my antivirus(Avast, I disable it for increased performance when I'm not paranoid about security) helps ease that out.BakLAN # Saturday, April 28, 2012 10:26:38 PM

Test it by comparing the resize performance of a theme from the official themes page and a proper skin from the official skins page.
Please don't test with a computer with an ultra high end X-treme gamer 10 gazillion Gigabyte DDR 100 grapics card mounted, but with an every day solution. The effect is best visible with on-board graphics like they are used in many business computers.

Nope, I wondered too about the slow starts because my 12 Version started fast (no wonder, it was an ultra clean install), so I imported the profile of 11.62 in 12 to produce a real world use case and started it. It took ages. 11.62 with exactly the same data started up almost instantly.I closed 12 and started it again and it took ages again. I cleaned the private data and restarted but that didn't change much.
Both locations were checked by my AV software. The impact of the AV Software is less than 2% in startup time, even with cache files of about 500MB size in total.
btw: i don't care about startup times in every day life. Normally I start the stable browser version once a day, so 1 or 5 minutes more or less don't make a real difference compared to the hours I use it - but - if one version is so much slower with the same data set I can only adapt a quote: "Oslo, we have a problem."

Although it began to use a 64-bit version, it is the very much good result.
Since a problem is in the site side, and there is also a site referred to as useless if it is not IE even if it is using which Browser now, although is that right and this is troubled too although it is the touch whose site which does not carry out intended operation also increased, IE cannot be parted with.
Since M2 has a direction of Opera currently used for years since Mozilla also still has IE dependence after all, I think that it is easy-to-use.
that the security of e-mail is required these days merely increased -- although OpenPGP is still required hardly, S/MIME which can also do a setup simply is becoming quite general.
Since it is unavoidable, it has now a puzzling form which S/MIME says to a required partner as M2 using Thenderbird except it.
Since it introduces the concept of security also into M2 soon or it becomes unnecessary to use a mailer properly also on ? and an individual target, it is very helpful, and I think that you may say that mounting is already indispensable since the security in e-mail has also already been halfway lent with common sense.

I guess this is the reason why my machine often slows down recently, when Opera Next is running.
(No, Opera doesn't use much CPU time unless it runs flash.)
This behavior is not "decent." Can't Opera automatically limit its memory use? For example, if the machine has 1GiB of actual memory, Opera should limit itself to, say, 300MB.
