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.

    Mac specific:

I don't know if anyone will read this being way down on the list but I have a feature suggestion:

When Spam e-mail are received by the Opera e-mail program, there should be a pop-up option so that one can see the 'subject' and 'from' lines of the spam e-mail just received. That way, if a real e-mail is filtered as spam, it can possibly be caught much quicker.

This popup would of course be in the lower right corner or left corner and dissappear after a pre-set time.

Thanks,
Peter

Suggestion for the Linux builders. It occurs to me that some Dapper users might like a tar.gz (or does Ubuntu prefer bz2?) so they could have a version they can run without installing it. No, I don't use Ubuntu, just trying to look ahead here.

MihLab 29. March 2006, 22:28

Opera still use operating memory after closing.... Please fix
I use win2k3 sp1

Tommy A. Olsen 29. March 2006, 23:29

@sgunhouse: The dapper package has a workaround for dependency checking during installation. The tar-balls dont need this since they are not normally installed :smile:

Alienz 29. March 2006, 23:42

Hope you guys can fix the forum rendering problems (especially phpbb and vbulletin) and the visited links always clear when opera restart. This have been in few previous weeklies.

ouch.. forget about the mid weekly release... wait until friday,
everybody know it's beta/preview and wait the bugs to be fixed on the friday :wink:

btw, the MSI installer, i got an error this time: error unable to read setup file
(didn´t get this error on the first MSI one)

go figure out...

Tilmann Rückauer 30. March 2006, 00:43

Thanks, Rijk and Junyor, for the confirmation of the "header-not-printing"-bug. Good to know that Opera folk knows about it (and therefore is probably working on it).

And thanks a ton for this excellent browser! The weeklies are sometimes a little tough to get used to, but hey, you warned us beforehand... And the finals are just the best! Great work!

kouta 30. March 2006, 01:18

I uninstalled last week's build and then went and deleted the Opera folder completely. Then installed this mid-week build but every time I open it nothing happens, but then I go look at the task manager and it says Opera.exe is using 95-99% of my cpu time.

darkringfire 30. March 2006, 01:19

Old problem. In Save dialog Opera don't remember type of saved file (html, html w/ images, mht or txt) and don't add extention to file if it wasn't typed manualy.

Kyle Baker 30. March 2006, 01:30

glad to see another build so soon! and i'm glad that copy issue with inserted whitespace is now fixed!

atreides05 30. March 2006, 05:01

(1) Congrats, it's coming along!

(2) Attaching a file in Gmail doesn't work.

(3) Masking as Mozilla makes Gmail chat show up, but it still seems a bit buggy. (to be expected, given this isn't even a beta yet)

(3) Neither Hotmail nor Yahoo mail will load at all (problem not present in tp2 1635 [old system]).

(4) Rendering problem on this site (not present in 8.52): http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum1/

(5) Scrolling down previous site and this one -- http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/ -- causes some flickering. Firefox and Opera 8.52 do this, but to a lesser degree.

g4qb 30. March 2006, 05:41

still problem across the platforms, (PC & Mac)

1. go to http://www.smh.com.au/technology/opinion/macman/
2. load an article
eg.
http://www.smh.com.au/news/macman/copy-law-a-fait-accompli/2006/03/28/1143441155700.html
3. save to hard disk
4. close article window
5. load article from HD
6. click on <Single page> link
7. get
"
Error!
Could not open file
message.
"

also
<Next page> link
AND
<2> link


works OK in 8.52

SOL-Invictus 30. March 2006, 06:32

How far is the NTLM-implementation? I still have the same errors than before...

Claudio Santambrogio 30. March 2006, 06:51

@sgunhouse: You can run opera from any tarball on Ubuntu Dapper (according to your environment - but .1 static always (should) work). The special dapper .deb at the moment is to solve dependencies when installing.

kongomongo 30. March 2006, 07:11

Searching doesn't search the whole page. For example in this very blog: I type '.' for inline search then I just enter 'e' so it will highlight all occurences of e. It doesn't find anything in the user comments.

NoobSaibot 30. March 2006, 07:19

@SOL-Invictus: i'd like to know that either!

SOL-Invictus 30. March 2006, 07:24

Also the proxy authentication (using automatic proxy configuration)is broken in Opera 9! (also this build)

Maykel 30. March 2006, 07:25

This build don't start on Win NT (Workstation SP6). Dr Watson generate error (access error). Last good build for (win NT) is 8265 - start OK.

Shirokovskiy 30. March 2006, 07:31

Hey, the interesting bug I see.
Something wrong with time in RSS.
When I see RSS list in Opera.
It has wrong time (in future)
I live in St.Petersburg and has Moscow time. Now with "summer time zone" we has +4 hours from GMT.
But Opera shows +5.
And one more thing.
When I click on some 'message' from RSS list. It changes time (at 'click'-moment) to the right time (+4), but this happens not for all 'messages'.

jeroo 30. March 2006, 08:07

FYI: Opera build 8321 crashes on web site www.dailyfx.com

WBTMagnum 30. March 2006, 08:18

I still see the following wrapping problem:
[http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7128/wrapoblem5jd.png]
Can anybody confirm this problem?

The screenshot is taken from Sitebar (http://www.sitebar.org/). The problem exists at least since Windows Build 8303.

BOURDON Clément 30. March 2006, 08:47

COOKIES: I still get problems with domain cookies.

My server places cookies on multiple domains (.com .fr .net) but not all are accepted.
If my domain is server.domain.fr I get the server cookie
and the other cookies are placed on domain.com and domain.net.

The Add button is without effect when if try to manually add a domain cookie (mydomain.com).

The memory cookies seems to be only visible in Quick preference -> Site preference -> Cookies


These work on Opera 8
Great work anyway

xpahos 30. March 2006, 08:53

Pls, make for wap "Site Preferences -> Network -> Browser Indentification" as telephone )))

Jozef ŠOLTIS 30. March 2006, 09:03

Bug: I don't start opera sometime after i closed it...
I must reinstall to work out...

Win XP Home, Opera 9 build 8326, WiFi

fuzi1968 30. March 2006, 09:19

When I try to find e.g. the word "WLC" on this website <http://pleasurehouse.blogspot.com/> Opera doesn't find anything on this page.

Maybe the reason is that the website starts with

cc<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

...

"cc" at the top of the source code ...

Maybe this could be fixed.

THANKS,

Svoboda 30. March 2006, 12:10

I would appreciate if the seperate installation didn't overwrite my 8.52 desktop shortcuts.

stewie 30. March 2006, 12:25

Idea:
There should be a RSS Panel. Because I can't put the Mail panel cause I don't use the POP3. :smile:

Michael Nelson 30. March 2006, 14:00

Using the MSI, and choosing UPGRADE results in a fresh install. I lost everything in doing so.

anonymous man 30. March 2006, 15:31

meh.. still no /etc/mailcap support in unix build?

Guillermo 30. March 2006, 15:42

Installer problems
I have 2 opera installations running on my pc, Opera and Opera 9 TP. After intalling this build (on Opera 9 TP folder), It gets it's preferences from "Opera" installation, but only a few of them (menues, toolbars and mail). And looses all my setup on Opera 9 TP folder.
Now I'm on another computer, where I only have one folder, on this case I found that all the previous data is completely missing (notes, cookies and wand passwords).

jeroo 30. March 2006, 16:05

Opera 8326 stable with web site www.dailyfx.com :smile: + it hasn't crashed yet. No bugs to report ...

Well done Opera Weekly Build Team!

Pierre 30. March 2006, 16:14

Whenever I browse the messages received through Feeds (read, delete), Opera segfaults soon (FWIW, the last version working better was the one dating back to 20060303)

Another issue is when I read RSS feeds, sometimes, the message contents simply disappear: no longer any From, no subject, no body... just a white entry & body.

Mark Gillespie 30. March 2006, 17:14

Found a way to crash Windows build 8326, if you install the TouchTheSky weather widget, flip it, and search for a city, Opera spits it's dummy out the pram..

Can anyone else reproduce this behaviour, on Win or other platforms?

Ks Jan Jenkins 30. March 2006, 18:40

Very good build. Feels quicker and no problems on the Mac Startup this time.

Michel 30. March 2006, 19:42

Some problems with extra BR-tag
Yandex is the largest portal in Russian Internet today.
http://www.yandex.ru in search string there is an extra BR-TAG




And Gmail:

FataL 30. March 2006, 20:41

@kav2006: I think that's known issues. Look at known issues from Windows build 8265.

Helena Červinková 30. March 2006, 21:30

Doesn't work adding new content to block.

olli 30. March 2006, 21:33

helenka: Known issue :-)

gnazzah 31. March 2006, 00:01

Just a wish for the adblocker: Could you implement blocking of layer ads?

Example:
http://layer-ads.de/showpage.php?http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/200577?startidx=50

RS 31. March 2006, 00:14

gnazzah, you can block it. I did. Just type in http://layer-ads.de/* in the Blocked content. BTW the majority of sites that I have seen use that ad is Porn sites. So just disable JavaScript and you will not see it.

gnazzah 31. March 2006, 00:23

Also, I find the possibility to 'flip' forward in image sequences with a mouse gesture a brilliant feature in Opera. This does not work with images that opens in new windows or with images mounted on simple html web pages. Example: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/Dance/gallery.html

Making such a feature would be immensely appreciated! Photo and art galleries tend to be horrible in navigation. You really are at the mercy of the design skill of a awfully creative bunch of people. Shortcutting their (user-) interfaces is often a necessety. More tools to do so is most welcome!

Could you also make the forward-feature guess file names? Like if you got pic01.jpg, the guess would be that there might be a pic02.jpg.

gnazzah 31. March 2006, 00:27

rschultz2002: I know I can manually block content like that. I currently use Privoxy with Opera 8.5 for such a feature. But it would be more intuitive to just click it away. Disabeling javascript is not an option.

Santrago 31. March 2006, 00:29

Opera presents the following error:

I don't under what circumstances it happens but, sometimes .GIF images(the ones that are animated) they move/animate X 5 times faster or so...... very weird, i don't know why it happens but it does, and it happens like 85% or so every time i look at a .GIF image.

Does anyne have the same problem?

gnazzah 31. March 2006, 00:38

After this I will shut up. I don't have a mouse wheel, rather a third button. I use this for scrolling, though. But along with scrolling pages in every direction in a really smooth and nice way, it opens links in new tabs in the background. That's annoying and should be only an option to turn on.

(I have not been able to check if this button is customizable according to my wishes, because now the newly installed mid-week build crashes on starting up. I guess I'll wait for the next one.)

RS 31. March 2006, 00:43

gnazzah, Yes I know what you are talking about. I just view the the source and copy the ad urls and so on to do that and add them manually. I think the thing is these ads are .js and it is harder for the content blocker to find. I do agree with you that you should be able to click and block any content. I would like to be able to block with regexp too.

anonuser 31. March 2006, 02:22

Bug in freebsd's opera build.

When clicking the widget bar it goes away. And then trying to do something crashes opera.

Santrago 31. March 2006, 04:23

And the 100th post!

hunter86 31. March 2006, 04:36

I haven't even downloaded it and I'm betting you guys still have not put in a socks 4-5 option in the network option so I can use my SSl socks 5 proxy with this software.
Right?........... I'm right aren't I?
It goes right under the http proxy option.
just a hint
