RTL, Camera, and other bug fixes for Opera 12

By Haavardhaavard. Monday, May 21, 2012 12:50:18 PM

Here's a new Opera 12 snapshot with some RTL (Right-To-Left language) and other bug fixes.

It also fixes various issues with the camera support on the Windows platform, including freezes, camera compatibility, and BSoD situations sometimes caused by camera drivers.

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.

The Chrome flash plugin is a more up to date version of flash.

That just means you need to update your NPAPI (Firefox, Opera, etc) Flash plugin.

It's not "for some unknown reason" - system32 = 64Bit, SysWOW64 = 32Bit WindowsOnWindows.

If anything, it's an unknown reason that system32 hasn't been renamed by Windows; but I think it's all about the compatibility bigsmile

You're right, I forgot about that, it's the same in the registry, but it's SysWOW6432.

There seems to be a new problem in this build either with the reload-button or the caching behavior (did you guys change something in there?):
I reloaded this blog 3 times via the button and then via the mouse gesture. The first three times, nothing showed up. When using the mouse gesture it finally showed that there were new subscriptions... confused

Moreover when there have been new subscriptions and you viewed them, the icon vanishes, but if you click on the desktop team logo, the icon shows up again without new subscriptions...
But this might be a problem of this blog as well since I encountered this situation a lot of times with safari on my phone (but I never saw it in Opera before...)

Yeah, i notice it too.

Thanks for not posting nonsense. Opera Unite is not being removed from Opera 12, and should still be fully functional, though it now disabled by default.

Unite is working normally for me. Windows 32 bit d/l. Win XP Sp3


Thanks. OK for me now too after a clean reinstall.

probably going to do that whenever the real 12 comes out. just utterly clean both versions of opera out. export my RSS which sometimes doesn't export everything.. don't know why... and reinstall for now my good install just will forever show up black unless someone can tell me maybe via registry?? to turn hardware acceleration to 0 without going into opera.

The bug DSK-362746 "[*nix] Socket communication broken on *nix" seems to be unresolved till recent build 1440. The status "Completed request to ..." never comes to be done on almost all pages. But pages with disabled JS loads perfectly (without this waiting).
The last good build I use is 1387.
