Is there any clear answer on this? Will it ever be coded in or are the developers just ignoring this mass requested feature?

It was said that Opera 9 will not have socks support, go and check...

Why on earth do I get this message after installing this build with the MSI Installer? Do I really have to restart my computer after installation Opera 9?

Is-it possible that ^ ¨, will be correct before the final version ?

And any chance filters will once again work in newsgroups (currently only if I manually 'filter existing') though newsfeeds and mail work fine
Unix 240 under Suse 10.1beta
But I must say this has been a real stable set of previews and the weekly builds are most appreciated

click on the Download link in the message about new version, my opera isn't responding and I must kill it.
Downloading from header works well. It's only sometimes... :-( (I know it's the same link, but it does.)

* skin color theme was reset to default (tested OS X)
* tab preferences switched to open new windows and show buttons on tabs (tested OS X and Windows)

@Tommy2k4: What's the bug number for that crash? The search highlight fix won't be in the beta.
@sgrayban: See Yngve's comment at http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/216266?startidx=50.
@Jakub81: We know.
@reporteur: That will not be fixed in the beta.
@Alienz: They will be. Just not yet.

Otherwise it brakes the so far behavior of Opera

Login and password haven't kept. I dont't know why, but this trouble exist only in Opera 9.x.
Have you any idea?
I tried many builds of Opera 9 beta. No solutions

File - Print options... - Page margins
If you here enter a value greater than 1,50 (e.g. 2) then Opera takes 1,5 and not your value.
Don't know it's a known or wanted limitation but I don't see
the sense in it. Thanks for !any! informations about my problem.

I know I'm just one person with one particular buggy site I use, but something changed in this version that made this bug show up.
Might there not also be other buggy sites that can't write their onSubmits and onClicks right?

And, still has a download problem, when file type "save to disk" with "do not ask for folder" is checked. It downloads only the first 3-4 kb, and then stops.

Except it's always the tab on the far right (most recently opened) that I've tried it on
Guanyao Chenggyc # Tuesday, April 18, 2006 10:44:15 PM
The latest weekly still freezes up at some websites that use flash (but not all websites) such as www.nbc.com.
Also the "fast back" doesn't seem to work on this version either. When I go back and forwards it's not instantaneous (like in version 8.5) and it seems like it redownloads everything.
I do appreciate Opera's decision to let us early adopters try out the newest builds however.

That site works with opera portable version 8.54 but does not work with opera 9?? User will be shocked if the new version can't do it.

Same issue is at least with png and jpeg images. It's pretty annoying, and I have no idea why newer Opera builds do this. Don't they like some other app I have or what?

Not yet reported. At least by me.

1. If you use Opera only for RSS and not for mail you can't activate the mail panel... at least in my Customize->Panels I can't mark the checkbox without an mail account.
2. If you block the advertising banner at the top of www.spiegel.de (one of Germany's leading news site) this ad disappears (good!), but you get a box with the size and the background color of the ad over covering the page header.
3. If you put the page bar on the left and add entries to the bar that contains the "New tab" entry, all entries in this bar are oriented left with every entry in a seperate line independ of options selected for this bar in Appearence->Toolbars.
... great: first comment on page 2

My problems with bugs 202961 and 202962 are still there though. I know it's probably low on your priorities list but if you fix them, me love you long time.
Kyle Bakerkyleabaker # Wednesday, April 19, 2006 2:29:13 AM
the save password dialog should answer positive when the return key is pressed. that would follow the older versions and make the most sense since the ESC key answers negative already. it could be:
Enter = Save
Shift + Esc = Never Save for Site
Esc = Not Now
or something similar, cause even tho pressing enter cancels (since the cancel button is defautly selected) i still use the Esc key.
Also, i'm still having trouble with the Block Content feature. Some images are not removed the first time around, but if i click block content a second time and immediately after click done without changing anything they will sometimes disappear. I also have trouble getting flash blocked, i have to click in the background, hold the mouse button down, drag over the flash and let up to block/unblock flash. Could this be fixed?
also, this is kind of a feature request i guess, but also in a way a bug. but shouldn't embedded audio be blockable? i mean i know its not always a visual item, but it could show up when block content is clicked so the user can block it couldn't it? and then disappear again if its left unblocked. i'm trying to think of others, but right now i think that would complete the block content!
once again another idea/feature request. i think it would be very handy if users could compile lists of links to block content from. like either start to build up a collection of lists from users that have linked content to block either specific to certain sites or for opera to block on all sites. this could help users fight off annoying banner adds they could update block lists, almost like a virus definition update or something.
anyways, theres my two cents, great work opera team! keep up the always great work!
EDIT: i would like to know what the stability fixes were if you guys have them documented anywhere. if not then thats ok, just curious! thanks once again for a great build opera team.
