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!

I know it has been reported before in these Opera 12 builds:
When pressing CTRL+backspace in the address field, it deletes not the entire section, e.g. when having www.google.com/drive, pressing ctrl+backspac this deletes then the forward slash ( / ) and 'com'.
It does not, however, delete the entire string after e.g.
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/04/26/opera-12-beta
it deletes on the hyphen ( - ), but not '12' - and it deletes only the dot ( . ), not 'opera', or 'my'
In other examples, ( = ) ( & ) ( ? ) ( parentheses )and the strings before that are not deleted on first backspace, but instances like
( =.% ) - pressing backspace here deletes all three signs
It takes some time to delete this address for instance:
http://musik.tdconline.dk/servlets/2452306090224Dispatch/19/jspforward?file=.%2Findex.jsp&page=search&searchquery=hello&x=0&y=0

Here you will experience the correct behaviour, that windows follows everywhere. I found additional signs ( # ) ( \ ) ( % ) ( _ ) ( [] ) ( ' ) ( " ), etc. In this field of comments, the ctrl+backspace can be used as well, and unfortunately, the behaviour of not deleting anything but the signs above asserts oneself here just as well.xor2 # Thursday, April 26, 2012 9:02:47 AM
also can you make an option to use Direct2D but leave text rendering to GDI? It would fix quality issues and enable use of gdi++/ezgdi/mactype programs. As is now hardware acceleration is useless to me as it's even uglier than normal without ezgdi...

Opera starts in about 6s but then the bookmarks take about 12s to appear (Unite is off).

Try to execute the java applet and opera becomes unusable.

- when several read/unread messages are selected, [k] shortcut doesn't mark them as read, I first have to mark them all as unread ([Shift] + [k]) then only I can mark them as read with [k]. So two steps required.
- really the "Quick reply" panel should have its height adjustable !!!

I've just noticed that Java isn't loading in this build. It was working fine in previous builds, but now none of the Java here:
http://www.brastro.org/
or here:
http://www.brastro.org/observing.html
will load.

I take it you have not taken even a basics software development course? You will never, ever find a sufficiently sized program that doesn't have bugs when it ships. My prof just gave us an example: when Excel 9 shipped, Microsoft was aware of 50 000 bugs. Yes. FIFTY THOUSAND KNOWN BUGS. And deemed it good enough. It is unfortunate that the example concerns Microsoft and Excel, as many will just dismiss it because of the notority of those names. It it true for all software.
For a comparison: Firefox's Bugzilla bug tracker seems to have about 15 000 to 16 000 issues right now. And they ship all the time.
If you want to only use bug free software: don't use computers. Or cell phones. Or cars. Or laundry machines. Everything has software. And all of it is buggy. It just has to be not-too-buggy, not bug-free.
If you want to only produce bug free software: don't become a software developer.
Now, please, could we concentrate on realistical problems Opera faces and how we might help them.

The mouse movement produces the artifacts. After restart the refreshed speed dial thumbnails retain the garbled memory content.
WinXPsp3 32bit, every public build since 12.00b1359, NVidia m8400gs, HWA enabled.
With HWA disabled -> no problem.

If Opera really has an issue that is exclusive to it, then it must be fixed. But the majority of site compatibility issues are not because of Opera, period.audioputns # Thursday, April 26, 2012 2:29:24 PM

I think the last thing they needed to be added to the alpha release was the DX HWA backend and it was added a few snapshots ago so they released beta.
EDIT: BTW,this is the same build as the previous snapshot: 1387.
