Wow, Finally! Thanks Opera!

r2x0t Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:02:12 PM

Thanks for fixing the multiple row tabs, they can be moved again! Good job! yes

Too bad this build still takes a lot of CPU all the time (reported as DSK-364940). There are two threads I can see in Process Explorer constantly having ~100K context switches per second and taking ~40% of CPU.

Then there is still "status bar in the middle of screen" bug..

It does not work. No red, no page loaded, the button does not work to close the window "x".

Opera eat a lot of CPU. Scrolling is almost impossible. Chrome works ok when loads comments.

DSK-361829 No indication for tabs dropped in other opera window When I try and do the drag a tab to a different window Opera will crash most of the time, have sent reports for both next and stable

OS X

Still miss the drag a tab and make a new window

Edmund BlackadderHypnotoad Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:25:50 PM

Dragged this tab out of opera and it worked!
Tried dragging the tab back into Opera twice and it instantly crashed each time.

Win7-64, 64-bit Opera.

Calinclambacalin Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:26:43 PM

Please revert back "DSK-361614 Don't zoom Speed Dial items beyond 100% when in Auto mode", or at least gives us the option to zoom speed dial at detail of 1% not 10%.
Bug: current tab loses focus for a second when closing background tabs by pressing x. When pressing x button, background tab should not be focused. Reported 8 times, please say if you will fix the two bugs or not so i can stop reporting them! Thank you

DSK-364891 [html5dnd] Dragging tab outside of window does not create new window

Is it possible to fix this also on Mac?

mrd Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:29:49 PM

First time owning an OSX computer here. Should I jump straight to these snapshots or play it safe with the 11.6x final?

Mikkel Brevik Mehusmikkelme Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:32:30 PM

Last build kept crashing my Windows 8 customer preview within a minute use, without fail. Going to try this one when I get home from work, hoping I won't have to stick to the "old" 11.64 :-)

update: opera is not freezing anymore if Ghostery extension is disabled
opera keeps freezing out of nowhere for 10-20 secs on http://www.realitatea.net and http://monitorulbt.ro and maybe some other sites

windows 7 32 bits

Delerue Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:43:30 PM

Scroll performance still worst than Opera 11.x version. For example: http://www.nvnews.net/

klaudyuxxx Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:47:23 PM

favicons from bookmark bar keep dissapearing or turn to the default (*) since opera 10...............

aks0241 Wednesday, June 6, 2012 1:58:03 PM

This build still ignores custom mouse buttons settings in Logitech SetPoint.
I'm using Windows 7 SP1 x64 and SetPoint 6.32 and MX518 mouse. In all other applications and Opera 11.64 it works fine. Only Opera 12 beta ignores it. For example I have copy/paste on side mouse buttons predefined and Opera 12 does some close tab action instead of copying/pasting text. This makes Opera 12 totally unusable for me. Please fix it Opera team.

This works fine here - hwa, wgl disabled

cliche37 Wednesday, June 6, 2012 2:06:57 PM

I've found two issues with this build(and previous builds).

1. [html5dnd] Cannot drag text into notepad or images onto desktop and vice versa.
2. Italic text sometimes occurs with too extreme of an angle with HWA enabled.

There are also obvious skin issues which I assume the graphics team will get to eventually.

I also miss the having trash can for the closed tabs list as the arrow is pretty ugly. But that's personal preference and can be fixed easily with a theme.

NeXaen Wednesday, June 6, 2012 2:08:38 PM

Would these bugs get fixed before final release ?

DSK-362047 is important for me because its kind of rendering issue for RTL users and annoys us.

DSK-362047 :: RTL characters distinguish || or letter spacing problem
ex.
با؛ صحبت ؛ امتناع ؛ کسی ؛ به ؛ کیبرد؛ گلپر ؛ ژله
characters only :
بـ ـا ؛ صـ ـحـ ـبـ ـت ؛ ا مـ ـتـ ـنـ ـا ع ؛ کـ ـسـ ـی ؛ بـ ـه ؛ کـ ـیـ ـبـ ـر د ؛ گـ ـلـ ـپـ ـر ؛ ژ لـ ـه

DSK-364921 :: when you have many tabs open , if you close a tab (using x button) placed right of the current tab, you will see whole the [right] tab for a moment before closing.

When I want to drag a local HTML file from Total Commander/Windows Explorer to Opera Pagebar (to open as a new tab) it doesn't work. The indicator appears between the tabs but nothing happens after drop.

It's much better but I get an error with the taskbar. It says that it won't install to the taskbar ignore or close and also it has an auto update error of either -5 or 5. Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit.

Youtube performance getting worse and worse. Really high CPU usage already on 480p (when not in fullscreen). HD is nearly unusable (OS X 10.8).

Am I the only one experiencing message sort problems and phantom empty articles in RSS feeds, or is it a known issue?

To report a bug:opera 12 x64, each time re-install the new version, run a successful synchronization, the end of the bookmark content will automatically add 12 more blank bookmark record? Is my own problems or software problems?

I hope that once v12 will be final, you'll focus again on the little things you left behind, like video previews in RSS/Atom feeds, a more advanced filter box on the side panels, or a profile manager...

Confirmed on Win 7 SP1 x86. It takes forever to load and is almost completely unrepsonsive.

Edmund BlackadderHypnotoad Wednesday, June 6, 2012 2:58:32 PM

Tab thumbnails on tab stacks after thumbnails for tabs has been disabled. For single tabs the thumbnails are removed as specified. I imagine this has been reported though.
