Opera Desktop Team

Mid weekly release

By olli. Wednesday, 29. March 2006, 11:26:52

We are throwing out a mid weekly this time ;-)
Widget UI is still under development, some things might not work as expected.

Also take a look at the Web Applications team new blog, for details of some of the extra features of Opera's canvas implementation.

Also if you are tweaking with the language file in the weeklies try to catch these entries from Peter:

Changelog

  • Fixed timestamp bug in Mail.
  • Fixed copy bug where space was inserted before special characters.
  • Fixed bug where links from widgets opened in new window not tab.
  • Remember widgets independent of startup option.
  • Reloading open message when IMAP is checking.
  • Fixed bug where widget handler stole focus from opera when starting.
  • Script dialogs now have the option to stop scripts running on the current page, in order to prevent further dialogs from appearing.

What is the point of "weeklies" if you can't stick to the schedule? P:

tarquinwj 29. March 2006, 15:31

Our schedule is weak (bad pun, sorry).

You could ignore it for now, and come back on friday P:

chrislu 29. March 2006, 15:40

oh please fix vbulletin and gmx.de bugs. these layout bugs are very annoying...

PLEAZE

Tamil 29. March 2006, 15:50

Downloading...

EDIT: :up:

DWz 29. March 2006, 15:52

Yay, thanks! :smile:

Kefas1 29. March 2006, 15:56

Unix specific:
Widget handle can now be disabled.

Hallelujah, praised be the Lord! \o/

revson 29. March 2006, 16:00

Oh that's it, mess up my schedule, now Friday has no more special meaning.

In the words of Cartmund from the SouthPark show, "your breakin' by balls here, breakin' my balls"!

Keep up the good work Opera People!

t_matze 29. March 2006, 16:04

Is this a known phenomenon:

When printing a mail/ng-message, the header is not printed at all. Neither subject, nor date or sending or receiving e-mail addresses are printed. Kind of annoying, isn't it?

Do you expect the user to edit mime.css in order to get the old header back - just for printing? I admire the new header, so I don't want to miss it. I am also not looking forward to having to switch between layouts every time I feel like printing a message, though. :wink:

By the way:
The message source code misses the closing </html>-tag. Does this affect anything?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Strict//EN">
<html>
<head>
Mail
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file://localhost/C:\Programme\Opera\9weekly\Styles\mime.css" type="text/css">
</head>

<body>



</body>

haavard 29. March 2006, 16:17

chrislu, please be more specific.

Junyor 29. March 2006, 16:24

@t_matze: We have bug reports on both of those issues. The missing HTML close tag should not be causing any problems.

Rijk 29. March 2006, 16:26

@t_matze:

Headers-not-printing is known.

The missing </html> is a bit silly, but doesn't have any bad (or good) results.

baabaa 29. March 2006, 16:27

Will there ever be an option in prefs to always open searches from search bar in new tabs instead of shift-enter?
-Congrats on solving the remembering widgets thing btw

Tommy2k4 29. March 2006, 16:36

Could you please make the search box highlight any existing text ready for overwriting when you click it instead of placing the cursor where you click? I'm sure it used to be like this but was changed in recent betas.

FataL 29. March 2006, 16:43

Have a problem with text search on this page: http://www.nashvs.net/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=362
Try for example search for XSLT - it searches only links.

RedPingüim 29. March 2006, 16:52

Is there the possibility to analize why the field to send scraps to other people on Orkut has the layout messed?

I don't know how to report that because is necessary to make logon into Orkut to send scraps.

Here a screenshot:

chrislu 29. March 2006, 17:04

haavard:
i was very specific a while back. but no one cared. try every forum based on the vbulletin code (like http://www.forum-3dcenter.org) and read some threads, then you notice, that the messages are displayed cascaded. on the gmx.de site on the inbox page the display of the messages is messed up massively from time to time (try loading it a couple of times).

velmu 29. March 2006, 17:04

Mac build startup bug fixed for me

*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*

M_Yoda 29. March 2006, 17:24

Site www.oglobo.globo.com is not working properly, I did report it and its bug #201871 bug I'll be more specific:
The site auto-reloads itself every 5 minutes (I think) thats the correct behaviour but, no matter what identify I use, it just stops working correctly, it just gives me a blank window after it refreshes like, the second or third time AND another bug on the same site is that I click on a link and it goes to the page but blank, I have to go back and re-click 3x or press reload to read it. It has been like that on every 9.
Appart of that Opera is the best no matter what!! Keep'em coming!!

jorunnix 29. March 2006, 17:27

baabaa: If you turn off "Reuse current tabs" in Preferences, searches appear in new tabs :smile:

klingoncowboy4 29. March 2006, 17:49

Oh good, this time it preserved my title settings. :yes:

"CRC does not not match" error )))

alsiladka 29. March 2006, 18:13

1. Gmail display still is not proper.
Seems the problem with display of buttons has not been fixed.

Lito 29. March 2006, 18:21

Please guys, fix the upload files bug: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=113354

helenka 29. March 2006, 18:43

bug in mac build
Displaying headers of mail: instead of time I have #c

baabaa 29. March 2006, 18:46

jorunnix: but is there any way to do it specifically to the search bar? For example, I like bookmarks to open in same tabs...

Bill_P 29. March 2006, 18:46

Are you aware that in the last few weeks Linux builds that Yahoo mail and Hotmail can not be logged into? Is there a workaround? I changed the id to IE (and Mozilla) and cleared the cookies and nada.

thanks,

xErath 29. March 2006, 18:52

why not including flash with the classic installer ?? bah !

Rijk 29. March 2006, 18:53

@baabaa: there would have to be lots of separate settings then, which is not a good idea. It will have to be Shift+Enter/click if you don't want new tabs in general.

Bill_P 29. March 2006, 18:53

Widget handle can now be disabled but it can not be re-enabled

nurzka 29. March 2006, 18:54

1) "block content..." from context menu seems to not working proper.
when you clink on any object nothing is happening.

2) i still have widgets items on my taskbar (i'm using litestep).

http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/9382/untitled11yi.png

i thing widget windows styles should set as a WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW.

//sorry for my broken english:D

Rijk 29. March 2006, 18:56

@nuzka: don't 'pin' them then.

zBoost 29. March 2006, 19:03

phpBB rendering still not fixed...
Also there is bug with big pictures rendering, drawing incorrectly. See this -
http://my.netissat.bg/daniel/pics/solar_eclipse_hi-res/sofia/PICT0036.JPG

The picture is ok, try downloading it and opening it to see it.

shoust 29. March 2006, 19:03

Will there be a better way to install plugins then? Because at the moment you need to click the placeholder, go to the website and download the installer that downloads the plugin. Maybe like ua.ini, keep a list of addresses to download plugins from opera server from, and possibly update them when a user downloads a plugin from the server.

vevola 29. March 2006, 19:29

I'm having problems... how do I set GMail as my default email client to open with Opera (my default browser! :wink: )? I tried via GMail notifier, but it doesn't seem to "stick"

What needs to be put in Opera's program window?

Could someone help?

crash opera when starting

mitchman2 29. March 2006, 19:32

Yes, it's not possible to select content to block in the release. Bad source merge error :-(

mitchman2 29. March 2006, 19:33

@nurzka: Please bugreport it and provide this information in the bug report.

WildEnte 29. March 2006, 19:35

shoust: +1. absolutely hassle-free for the user.

pholie 29. March 2006, 19:46

It looks like Opera uses its own "busy" cursor instead of my default. (Linux).

Liandri 29. March 2006, 20:02

Hey guys, tell me please, will be a language-codes in LNG-files ever changed? Or You planning to re-arrange them in the final reelase?
I need to know it to create my own translation for the Final release of Opera 9. I mean, if they will be re-arranged some time, i will have to remake all LNG-file...

I'm about it:
-303587263="Could not connect to remote server"
406813980="Connection closed by remote server"
etc...

As You can see, the codes seems to be randomly arranged to make more space for new strings added during the Beta-period.

PS: Sorry if this was already been discussed.

Lontronics 29. March 2006, 20:04

It seems the static build is not as fast as the static from last weekend.

When doing the http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/benchjs/benchjs.html test, now I get results in the 4.95-5.05 range instead of 3.95-4.05.

Is there a reason for this?!

Further the build is great :wink:

Jan

Edit: forgot to tell the platform: Linux Slackware based derivate Zenwalk 2.2, Kernel 2.6.15.

xhp 29. March 2006, 20:25

I have still same problem with fetching headers from IMAP acount. Only 376 of 1063 headers are fetched and then the connection freezes. In Opera 8 everything works fine so I think that the problem isn't in my account.

Honza

HeeZy 29. March 2006, 20:33

i just used the MSI installer and chose upgrade, but it installed it into the Opera 8.52 directory!!

i have a folder for only Opera 9 installs called, "Opera9", but this build chose to install in the Opera directory.??

vixenk 29. March 2006, 20:46

Thank you SOOO much! :D I hated the idea that I was going to have to wait a week before I could finally disable the widget thumb.

SergeantHobo 29. March 2006, 20:58

Wow, this was...unexpected. Thanks. :cheers:

EDIT:

Script dialogs now have the option to stop scripts running on the current page, in order to prevent further dialogs from appearing.



Just noticed this (didn't read changelog before downloading :smile: ). Very nice work. :up:

aazzas 29. March 2006, 21:13

Still cant apply changed user css without closing opera (ugh!!!!)
Visited links file seems frequently reseted.
Font in history i transfer panel is different than in other panels.
Also - when viewing images there is few pixels margin/padding(?) can I change it somehow?

When will the thing with site specific cookies setting fixed?
And do you have to put so much unnecessary code in override.ini - even if I change one thing its served with 10 or so additional lines, its 10 times bigger file to read at startup.
And...
Um... ok, thats all for now ;D

Sonique 29. March 2006, 21:32

Hello

very unfortunate the tab on close button ...
please remove.. and go back original position

thank you

FataL 29. March 2006, 21:32

In short. Zoom bug - when? :wink:
Tests: 1, 2, 3
Links: my journal, forum topic
Just couple examples of affected live pages:
Sitepoint - print and email icons
JuicyStudio - small icon after every external link
You need to use zoom to "activate" this buggy behavior. Press [+] or [-] on your numeric keypad.

zeth 29. March 2006, 22:06

I think I found a bug with the Widget thing.

My startbar in Windows is on top, and when I click the Opera widgets, the background gets a black tint -- except for the space at the bottom where the startbar usually is.
