Opera Desktop Team blog header

…and one more weekly!

, ,

It's Friday again - time for one more round of testing a snapshot of our internal development!

As usual, please read the Known Issues List first:

  • Cannot view e-mail attachments within Opera.
  • :hover pseudo-class is only recognised when hovering inline boxes within an element (may cause Pure CSS Menus to fail).
  • Text may be misaligned on buttons.
  • Self closing (non-script) tags may break the layout.
  • Some pages may have unexpected linebreaks.

Changelog

  • Fixed crasher on Flash.
  • Added experimental support for opening Web archives.
  • Improved display of content blocker toolbar.
  • Added keyboard shortcuts Cmd+[ and Cmd+] for back/forward on Mac.
  • Up/down arrows no longer select next/previous messages in e-mail and news views when the message view has focus.
  • Improved notification of invalid SSL certificates.
  • Upgrading will automatically disable 40 and 56 bit SSL/TLS ciphers.
  • Fixed float and inline box stacking order, as required by the Acid2 test.
  • Allowed mouse events to pass through clipped or overflowed (or otherwise transparent) regions of an element.
  • Added class contructors for CanvasGradient, CanvasPattern, and CanvasRenderingContext2D.
  • Added support for HTMLTableElement.cells collection.
  • <xml> elements are no longer removed from the HTML DOM.
  • Improved handling of offsetTop, offsetLeft, and offsetParent.
  • Added support for Selection.removeAllRanges and Selection.addRange.

Woow, passed Acid2 test. That's great. Simply Opera Rulez!

Karen ArzumanyanKaren-Arzumanyan Saturday, March 11, 2006 8:26:56 PM

Im have a problem with this build and previos build.
Others builds was all right. And others browser now show all right.
Don`t show some links into thish web-page http://www.nnm.ru
In place some links placed only text.
Sorry by my english.

This build (8265) does seem to have fixed the crash on close issue. However, it seems when I try to print a page (no fancy graphics, just a normal html page) Opera crashes.

I'm using a HP Deskjet 5940
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600


velmu Saturday, March 11, 2006 9:14:42 PM

Holy smokes! The Mac build seems to have a memory leak:

856 Opera 56.1% 9:10.29 8 109 19525 594M+ 3.41M- 103M+ 2.81G+

It just kept rising. And indeed, the was some serious swapping going on... doh

edit: I found the culprit, if I go to this Mac Mini specs page on the Applestore (http://tinyurl.com/qz6uo) it hangs on loading and eats up the memory. If I stop it by pressing esc in time, it's all good.

Sitepoint.com, check out the right columns. Images are cut off a little bit. This is a bug I've seen on other sites but can't recall what sites they were. This use to be a problem in the Gmail interface, but that was fixed obviously in the public preview release number 2.

slauf Saturday, March 11, 2006 10:59:28 PM

The problem 'I noticed that on http://www.umwelt.sachsen.de/lfug/hwz/Mulde/index.html when I move the cursor over a Measurement Point for Highwater I get no Information which Point it is and which water level there is.' isn't a real one. I noticed this on a second visit on the described Website. You can delete this and the same text-block above - sorry.

The second problem is a real problem.

Thanks

Greetings and thanks Opera team!

Save as web archive is the best thing to have come around. Really lovable!

But still I can seem to get the option of autosaving files based on mime selection. It is always pain to click the save as dialogue.

The tilt-wheel scrolling of MS Wireless Elite Keyboard still has not been fixed!

My problem is with the wand. When I fill the password boxes and click OK, the wand asks me whether I save the infos. Ok, let's save, but I can't use the arrow keys, so I have to use the mouse. And it's very tiresome, I think

Congratulation for passing acid2.

I've found problem with unblocking content. Unblocking doesn't work neither from right-click menu > Block Content nor when selecting "Details..." from toolbar.

When unblocking from menu > Tools > Advanced > Blocked Content everything seems to be fine.

GameMaster90 Sunday, March 12, 2006 6:38:38 PM

I have a very strange problem on these new weekly builds.

My download speed suffers a lot if I use Opera on a regular basis. If I have a fresh install, it'll download web pages at
8.0 KB/s, but now, roughly 3 days later, it's going at less than 2.0 KB/s. I'm on Dial-Up, Windows XP PRO SP 2.

EDIT:

Also, at Live.com , whenever I try to move the RSS panels around, Opera crashes. Any reason why?

RamūnasRamunas Sunday, March 12, 2006 7:08:25 PM

I`m using this weeks build for dapper, Ubuntu. And its crashing a lot. Is is just me or this build for dapper is buggy? Can anybody confirm this?

Adie Sunday, March 12, 2006 9:14:52 PM

Similar problems here (regressions?):
a) flash popups doesn't close
b) jpeg images when enlarged are corrupted (http://www.fotopolis.pl/index.php?n=4004 - click image)
c) not really a bug -> many sites has bugs with self-closing tags that are not visible using other browsers and previous Opera builds
d)many downloads (i.e. *.7z downloads from sourceforge) evaluates to "Plugin Required" dialog.

Dao Gottwalddazio Sunday, March 12, 2006 9:24:48 PM

Hm ... Safari and Firefox finally support rgba(). I'm still waiting for Opera. wink

hrana Sunday, March 12, 2006 9:44:49 PM

I had a question in this build regarding the ACID2 test.

1) Using the up and down arrows on the page cause the page to scroll and the ACID2 test fails subsequently.

2) Reducing the desktop resolution down to 800x600 or lower causes the scalp to disconnect from the head. Thus causing ACID2 test to fail again.

Was there any official comment on this?

Mark 'Tarquin' Wilton-Jonestarquinwj Sunday, March 12, 2006 10:27:03 PM

"Using the up and down arrows on the page cause the page to scroll and the ACID2 test fails subsequently."

The forehead is made from an element that uses position:fixed - in other words, it remains still when the page scrolls (when you first open the page it is hidden behind the "Standards compliant? Take The Acid2 Test" text).

If you scroll, it remains still, so the face looks broken. You must scroll back up to the top, and click the link again (or usually you can press reload) for it to scroll to the right position.

This is the correct behaviour, required by the CSS specification, and the Acid2 test.


"Reducing the desktop resolution down to 800x600 or lower causes the scalp to disconnect from the head. Thus causing ACID2 test to fail again."

This is the same thing. When you make the window narrow, the text at the top of the page wraps to more lines, causing the page to be longer, and the face to appear further down it. After resizing the window, you should click the link again to make it scroll to the new position.

Note also that if you make it too narrow, the chin also gets narrower, because it uses the table display, and therefore will shrink if needed. This is also the correct behaviour.


The Acid 2 test is very fragile, and is designed to be used in a very specific way - and it can be a little confusing as a result smile

At http://index.hu there is a main menu at the top with image-links: "Hírlap", "Keresés", Fórumok".
The new snapshot doesn't reconize them as links, just shows as plain images.

velmu Monday, March 13, 2006 5:06:05 AM

Ramunas: When using a beta browser on a beta OS you should have your crash helmet on smile

Idan AdarYtseJam Monday, March 13, 2006 11:01:53 AM

The 'top 10 bar crash bug' is less frequent now, but still happens.
Still, kudos for improving it! (that is, less crashes...)

Hopefully the need weekly will kill it completely?

Drag0ndrag0n Monday, March 13, 2006 11:44:23 AM

Right clicking causes a segmentation fault. Here's what I was told when it crashed.
./opera: line 286: 7924 Segmentation fault "${OPERA_BINARYDIR}opera" "$@"

It was on suse 9.1 with kde 3.4.

smile

NoobSaibot Monday, March 13, 2006 1:13:56 PM

was the "[Network] Enable NTLM setting to toggle NTLM support" setting added?

Computer.Pers Monday, March 13, 2006 2:54:52 PM

1. Problem with nnm.ru confirmed!

Description:
There links (underlined text) does not working...
they're looks as text only and not possible browse this site...

2. When NTLM autorization will work???
my company excluded OPERA BROWSER from "white application list" and now no possible to work with opera without "handcrafting"...

CaseySirCasey Monday, March 13, 2006 3:30:03 PM

First off, I really love the new version and can't wait to start using it primarily once my 1 major problem is fixed:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=125408&t=1142262338

All the latest builds submit a blank form (which sends a blank email to customers) on our Helpdesk ticket request system when it shouldn't. Version 8.5 doesn't, so I'm hoping someone can change whatever v9 form handler isn't the treating our code the same way as previous version...

~SirCasey

Simon Pieterszcorpan Monday, March 13, 2006 5:04:42 PM

"Self closing (non-script) tags may break the layout."

That sounds like you intend to keep the wrong behaviour for SCRIPT start tags?

Øyvind ØstlundNoteMe Monday, March 13, 2006 6:10:03 PM

So who will make the Acid 3 test now..smile



Congrats, open the champagne bottles.

There is a problem with Windows build 8265 in Google Reader. When the Reader page is loaded the browser quits suddenly. You get an error for which there is no answer on the Microsoft site.

Carlos Renato F. VendraminiRedPingüim Monday, March 13, 2006 9:01:55 PM

Hi..

Please..

Can you fix this url? The menu which contains "home", "plantão", "download", "fórum", etc...

That menu doesn't work with Opera currently, but I remember (well, at least as far I can remember) it functioned very well in the near past.

Thanks... up

Consti Monday, March 13, 2006 9:32:29 PM

Hello!

My Report:

1) Some links are displayed wrong - that means they have a wrong place and aren't 'link-active' (cant click on them)

2) I cant activate Mail Button (in panel and everywhere else), ticking the option doesnt work. Annotation: I use external mail-prog (Eudora), but want to use Newsfeed function.

So far from me!

Greetings
Constantin

instead of using the mouse you could always use enter/return key for save password and the esc/escape key for cancel/don't save password.

YOKEYyokey Tuesday, March 14, 2006 10:46:12 AM

problem have found a with save as text file (flye type *.txt)

menu file > save as with save as type text file

@NoteMe - I'm not web developer, but this link doesn't have the same width of boxes not in Opera 9, not in FireFox 1.5 not in Explorer 6.... which browser correctly opens this page?
if none then there error in page.... (IMHO)

Øyvind ØstlundNoteMe Tuesday, March 14, 2006 12:38:45 PM

@Computer.Pers:

It is one of the 30+ bugs they are working on in the "Gecko:Reflow Refactoring" branch. So maybe it will be fixed to Fx 2 or maybe Opera will fix it before them..smile

Vitaliy KazakinVitaliano Tuesday, March 14, 2006 2:14:40 PM

This build lost the ability to attach event handlers to block-level elements. Perhaps it's somehow connected with ':hover bug'.
Giving an element 'display: inline' or 'display: inline-block' solves the problem.

ruudjah Tuesday, March 14, 2006 2:39:02 PM

Any plans for Opera development team to implement bicubic sampling on zooming? This should sweeten up the zoom for pictures and text.

Milan PetrovicGDragoN Tuesday, March 14, 2006 2:45:57 PM

I have one suggestion for rendering html, and that is form element for browsing the file, it looks ugly and out of sync with page look, since the looks of it can't be adjusted by styles.

velmu Tuesday, March 14, 2006 7:01:55 PM

I've encountered a weird redraw bug on the Mac build (on 10.4.5). I get this annoying negative redraw (quite slow, from the top to the bottom) when I resize the window or switch between tabs:

/velmu/homes/albums/35829/thumbs/rainbow.png_thumb.jpg -
full size image

I randomly get this and it sticks until I quit and restart. It only affects Opera. I've reported this to bugs.opera.com.

Sebhelyesfarku Tuesday, March 14, 2006 9:28:39 PM

Ok, where's the HTML mail composer?

jimmiwalker Tuesday, March 14, 2006 11:31:43 PM

What does SHIFT with block content do actually?

Nice build btw. Search with CTRL+F and tapping enter doesn't work sometimes... Eg. on first page of this forum it doesn't find "shift" at all.

Petter Nilsenmitchman2 Tuesday, March 14, 2006 11:34:57 PM

@jimmiwalker: It lets you block the exact path, so you can either edit it before blocking it using Details... or just simply block that single content.

nikosnikolakis Wednesday, March 15, 2006 10:20:17 AM

how about fixing the NTLM proxy issue so that we can use opera at work!?!
(i'm forced to use 8.5x and firefox. the geek in me wants betas and previews!)
