BUG: When you're using a theme and you don't use the maximize/restore button to change window (for example double click titlebar or clip window to top) the icon of the button doesn't change until you hover with the mouse over it to refresh it. (Win7)

It is a switch in our build system to change it. Not a big deal at all. We just forgot! (The server was down for a few hours before the build was made due to the move of the Opera HQ from Grünerløkka, Oslo to Nydalen, Oslo happening this weekend.)

inactive tabs with flash do not eat cpu time in 11.64, but they do it all the time in 12.00, no matter if the tab is active or not.

The video caching in this live video must be broken, because it's stops alot of times, any 4 seconds or so, and I don't see the same behavior in Chrome. Cpu % is also higher in opera 1448 than in Chrome when watching the video.

I'm downloading Opera Next version. But if you are testing the RC by letting it overwrite your existing stable version, you will probably need to revise your browser.js.

Go to http://www.opera.com/docs/browserjs/ and check your browser.js patch details. It should read "Target version and time stamp of the active browser.js file is Opera Desktop 12.00 core 2.10.289, June 4, 2012. Active patches: 198 ."

Alessio Reinermatejakezman Thursday, June 7, 2012 8:08:58 PM

blurry fonts when HWA enabled, not really a problem, fonts are just a bit different. should i just get used to that little side effect o HWA or is there workaround?

Damiandskoczylas Thursday, June 7, 2012 8:11:44 PM

The following websites don't seem to work properly (either scrolling doesn't work or the links are unclickable):

http://www.cnet.com/

adioni Thursday, June 7, 2012 8:13:19 PM

The CNET site and cnet subsites such as macFixit: http://reviews.cnet.com/macfixit/?tag=mfiredir are unresponsive in this build.

Pressing spacebar doesn't jump the page down, you can't click on links, etc. The only thing you *can* do is click and drag the scrollbar to navigate.

Edit: looks like I was typing out my original post while Damian saved his. Anyway cnet.com problem verified.

You can also middle-mouse click on links to open them in background tabs. At least before the whole page gets to a frozen state for accidentally left-clicking on a link.

ugly95 Thursday, June 7, 2012 8:28:17 PM

There are still issues with the Progress bar when it's set to 'Pop up at bottom'. It gets painted over the page content

I'm not sure if I'd consider it a show-stopper, but it is a regression and it does look really bad and can cause difficulty browsing.

Example screenshot here

Seems to happen quite often on this page: http://sohodiffusion.com/crazy_wednesdays.asp

Happens with both HWA on, and off. Looks worse when HWA is off since you can see the Progress Bar flicker a lot when you're scrolling down. However, it seems to get stuck on the page more often when HWA is turned on (the screenshot is with HWA turned on)

Could you please look at the {opera:about profile path}/widgets/wuid-{widgets.dat id}/pstorage/##/##/###### file (plain text) and see if it is not corrupt? It is corrupt if you have more than one instance of "<ws>". (Curios about the rest of the file contents?)
