New Opera 12 snapshot
By Blazej Kazmierczakbkazmierczak. Wednesday, May 16, 2012 2:21:47 PM
Here's yet another Opera 12 snapshot with a number of fixes, including several common crashes. It contains Out Of Process Plugin fixes, Hardware Acceleration fixes and Skin fixes.
For Hardware Acceleration fans we have font bugs fixed and new Renderer preference which the user can set to 1 to prefer the DirectX back-end, or 0 to chose OpenGL. Make sure to turn on Hardware Acceleration in opera:config, to check this out (Hardware Acceleration is turned off by default in Opera 12, and the new preference has no effect).
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.

Then I enabled HWA on the DX-backend, which is supported and working pretty nicely and it showed "OpenGL Backend not supported Unknown error" below the DX-infos.
Having switched off HWA again, it keeps telling me "unknown error"
P.S: That new loading indication looks better without the border around it. Well done
However, the whole bar around the address field looks clumsy. I had the impression, that it got bigger, when I switched on HWA and it stayed like this even after turning it off again...
Why don't you narrow that border a bit? It would fit so much better to the menu-button and the heights of the tabs:

Otherwise, there's still a few skin bugs :
- The progress bar is not well-aligned when it reaches xxx/xxx
- Set the tab bar to the bottom, and expand it to have thumbnails. -> The menu button jumps on hovering it.
- There's one pixel more at the top of the address bar than at the bottom. (new)

Summary: opera it is closed if to activate "menu bar" and to press button "Closed Tabs"
When following the steps described above:
1. open Opera
2. press "button O - Show Menu Bar"
3. press button "Closed Tabs"
What do you expect to happen?
Should open menu Closed Tabs
Hat actually happens?
opera it is closed

This is what Opera looks like when hovering over the login button here at my Opera. Happens on several sites here - just with enabled HWA.http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/125/bildschirmfoto20120517u.jpg -

You guys need to post a fix and/or a work around to that, as no one WORKING as we do with Opera mail is happy about that.
Bes regards

If I leave them enabled there's masses of sites that won't load; I have to have plugins disabled to make the browser usable - those same sites will then load but don't work as intended because they rely on plugins.
Bugs DSK-361706 and DSK-361989; they seem to be closely related and were fixed for Mac a few builds back.

Yep, got some of that, not as drastic, but majorly on clicking a link,opening a book mark, or hitting a speed dial thumbnail the page sped around forever without loading (like Chrome actually).
If you stop the page reloading it can occasionally load itself very slowly or just come up with an error message

Very impressed with the smoothness of this release, it feels like a totally different web browser.
I haven't seen something like this for a very long time, gj

>> this page makes opera slow and unresponsive :
http://sheepcyclone.blogspot.fr/2012/05/collection-of-photos.html
reported as DSK-364013
these bugs still not fixed :
DSK-362047 :: RTL characters distinguish
DSK-362073 :: Star icon
DSK-360016 :: wrong title over webp images' properties (identified as *.jpg)
DSK-357460 :: default skin allignment problem
Win Vista @ Dell inspiron 1545
HWA off and default settings with all bugs
why dont you developers make attentions to the bugs introduced many times and some of them for years but can be fixed with one or two lines of coding and not difficult ? in this way users will be disappointed ;

1. No problems with pressing "trash" button with menu bar enabled
2. Button arrows. As i can see, the bottom control is a standart combobox while the right ones are custom controls. So i don't consider it error.

On my ATI Radeon 9600/X1050 opera:gpu shows for OpenGL
But installed drivers are from catalyst 10.2.

I got tripped by the same title as the previous blog post. So I initially did not realise that there was a new snapshot until I saw it posted in the Opera topic at the Comodo forums.
