Was it resolved for your other PCs?
What does the http://www.opera.com/docs/browserjs/ report for you (what is written next to "Target version and time stamp of the active browser.js file is" ? )

Surely shouldn't you be reporting it to Apple? I don't think Opera do sitepatches for UA. Amazon UK seller site has been broken for years and forces me to mask as Firefox.

Opera does not write or maintain these skins and cannot be responsible for what they do to your Opera experience. They can only be responsible for the ONE skin they write, and that's the Opera Default skin. They cannot re-write opera to be compatible with every one of the hundreds of skins users write and submit over the years.

Confirmed, W7/x64, Opera 32-bit (in previous build as well). The status bar sticks to the page if you scroll on some pages before they complete and then remains until it's scrolled off the page entirely or the page is refreshed or presumably some other repaint event).

Thanks for the last few builds, hard at work as usual smile

Could you please have a look at the flash click bug, it's still present in the latest builds... Basically certain flash apps will not let you left-click buttons in flash, trouble link provided (try to click Begin Test):

http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/

This one is a pain in the ass and would be much appreciated if fixed before final release to save using v11 until next major release...

For sure they do. Have a look at http://my.opera.com/sitepatching/blog/2012/05/22/skydrive-amazon for example wink
Report it to them. They normally even respond to your comment and they do communicate with Apple (or whatever site is concerned) as well wink

Thanks for fixing drag and drop on imgur.com

But minus.com still has a problem sad

Instead of starting an upload session opera opens the dropped image in place of the website

Other than that it's a pretty good build

Is there a (stuck) opera_plugin_wrapper.exe process in the task manager? Is the opera:plugins page constantly reloading? What plugins do you have installed? You can check on the same system with some other browser or Opera version that works on https://bugs.opera.com/wizarddesktop/ (textarea lists all the plugins detected).

ugly95 Tuesday, June 12, 2012 8:31:30 PM

How does the plug-in wrapper handle memory usage?

I think most of the time when I look, the plug-in wrapper is only taking about 30MB. If I open a video on YouTube, it jumps to about 65MB, and as the video loads it increases pretty quickly. I loaded up the first video listed on YouTube. And memory usage steadily rises very quickly from 65MB to 90MB. Then it slows down a bit, but still seems to be increasing. A minute and a half into the video and it's up to 107MB. I think it finally stopped increasing about 5 minutes into the video at 140MB. It seems excessive. But closing the video does bring it back down to 35MB.

Then there's some pages like this: http://lifeofagony.com/. It's filled with embedded YouTube videos. Just opening the page and not playing anything brings the plug-in wrapper to 535MB of RAM. It quickly releases the memory when the tab is closed, but again it seems like excessive memory usage for the plug-in wrapper.

Win7 x64, HWA on, 4GB RAM.

I am now seeing other posters with similar problems so hopefully it will get attended to in the not too distant future.

That would be a show stopper / not to use reason of O12. Well... let's try to get a clue. - How do you switch programs? -- I tried alt+tab and mouseclick. - Do you have HWA enabled/disabled? -- I don't have the problem - nevertheless. - What Logitech software version are you using? -- I'm using the newest version. Currently with my G700 mouse I'm using the Game-Logitech-Setpoint software. But my Notebook with the anywhere-mouse and the normal SetPoint got the same problem (can't test it right now with RC4). - What did you program to the mouse buttons? -- I use CTRL+F4 (middle mouse-button) to close tabs, thumb-button(s) to minimize, close, maximize... etc. Greetings

I have checked the box the cache, i close the browser, and opera still remembers the pages you visit.

Never comment but just want to say
1. I love Opera 12, can't wait for it to come out, I can't found any drawback, it's just better in every way!

2. ...except the skin! I really love my Netbook Skin, that's what I need! It let's me see more of the page (even if it's just 5 mm). The custom skin creator is ok I guess, but not nearly as important! Hope I'm able to use it in Opera 12 too!

Thanks for everything!

As far as I can tell, selling items on eBay (U.S.) is impossible with Opera 12. Early builds of 12 broke down when loading photos - they loaded indefinitely - but the current build can't get past the initial "Find a Matching Category" page. After entering a description, when the user is then asked to select a category, e.g., Computer Components & Parts > Memory (RAM), the page returns an error message as if nothing had been checked.

In addition, virtually every eBay page I've opened with this build does not complete loading, or takes a long time to.

I haven't tried to carry through a sale with 11.64, but neither of this build's problems occurs with it.

Mediafire upload is impossible : drag and drop isn't working, and I can't upload files normally like I could with 11.6 (nothing is happening if I clic on the "+"). Drag and drop is working fine with Firefox.

I don't think this is strictly a mouse problem in that I've also found that Opera steals control of my ability to switch my sound back & forth from my speakers to my headset. I have to completely close and relaunch Opera to regain control.

Dear developers how this can be explained?

I use a clean install of Opera 12, the first time you boot progress bar is, but if you run Opera the second and subsequent times - the progress bar disappears somewhere ... Where to?

The problem was not in the 11.64

I don't know what you guys use for image (as in .jpg, .png, etc.) downloading/rendering, but you might want to change it:

I've just done an Opera clean install, and it took MORE THAN TEN MINUTES to just download some web snapshots to show on speed dial.

I've also noticed that whenever Opera is downloading images for rendering, the whole Opera program slows down - the famous UI stuttering/lag.

I'm still getting YouTube hiccups, no matter what I do.

In general, Opera 12 works very nice... but none of these issues happens in ANY other browser.

Proxy NTLM Auth works very bad.

In 12 rc1 Win64 it did not worked at all.
In rc4 Win64 it at least manages to ask for password, sometimes even manages to load page or two, but...

when i clicked onto Login link in this forum - it stalled.
when i tried to open GMail, i hardly managed to pass after login page, then Opera 'loaded' empty page.

Then i run NTLM Maps and switch Opera to BASIC auth - and it works like a charm!
Two guys in their spare time wrote a tool, that just works.
The whole Opera software, seven years after that, still cannot catch up!
For seven years all your full-time developers cannot just replicate what already been done in spare time by two random guys!

ntlmaps-setup-0.9.9.6.exe 2005-07-05 Just works.
Opera 12 rc4 2012-06-12 - just stops.

I'm behind corporate proxy with login/password now.

On 1st load java requested login/password. I thought it would work through Opera-provided connection, but it did not.
The Java asked for password, cursor kept blinking, but did not reacted on user input - neither mouse nor keyboard.
The main Opera windows "freezed" and was highlighted non-reacting.

After i killed Opera the Java windows started reacting to user input.

I restarted Opera and opened test again. This time it worked. Java asked me about credentials again, this time i could key them in, and finally the page worked.

It looks like out-of-process plugins work badly with not most basic "just render" usecases. If plugin ries to communicate with user, or ask UAC privilege escalation - Opera tends to freeze or at least to lag for several minutes.
