Fine :D
Edit: First time first :wink:

babumuchhala 18. April 2006, 17:55

Finally we have a weekly.

Just way too anxious for the beta now :D

Let's test some Beta:)

Tommy2k4 18. April 2006, 18:06

Still no searchbox highlighting fix (this sounds like something that would be so easy to fix?), and still a crash when closing the tab when the megaupload.com popup is loading (why not get rid of that popup as a way to fix it :smile: )

sgrayban 18. April 2006, 18:17

Still no socks4/5 support :frown:

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

YtseJam 18. April 2006, 18:29

There was a clear answer regarding socks support by Junyor in the previous Desktop Team post if I remember correctly.

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

Jakub81 18. April 2006, 18:30

Using mouse gestures over widgets still crashes the browser.

DandS 18. April 2006, 18:31

The most stable version EVER.

Cache erros are minimal now.

Congrats!! =)

gorsov 18. April 2006, 18:37

Are you really sure you won't fix this?

Alienz 18. April 2006, 18:37

I really like to see searchbox highlighting and visited link always cleared when opera restart fixed.

mgillespie 18. April 2006, 18:38

@sgrayban, when you say "mass requested", all I see is you asking for it every build...

Personally, I think Opera's direction and priorities are fine.

Wajo357 18. April 2006, 18:47

gmail still crashes Opera when restarting the browser with the gmail tab automatically loading as well as many others (6+)

ar1pe 18. April 2006, 18:54

Thanks again :D

Pondus 18. April 2006, 18:58

"You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to Opera 9.0 to take effect. Click Yes to restart now or No if you plan to restart later".

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?

Sushubh 18. April 2006, 19:01

let's see if this is a memory hog...

Animatrix 18. April 2006, 19:06

The Gmail'RSS always crash on Unix/Linux
Is-it possible that ^ ¨, will be correct before the final version ?

Bill_P 18. April 2006, 19:14

How can you be close to a beta when I (and others) can't log into the 2 most popular web based email systems - yahoo and hotmail

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

hermen2048 18. April 2006, 19:18

Fast-back is fixed - hurray!

No problems logging in to Yahoo nor Hotmail here.

helenka 18. April 2006, 19:19

Mac only build (bug in about latest four builds)
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.)

porneL 18. April 2006, 19:22

On upgrading from TP2:
* 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)

Junyor 18. April 2006, 19:25

One additional change left out of the changelog is a fix for problems when deleting and moving IMAP messages.

@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.

mvolmaro 18. April 2006, 19:25

HTML mails (viewed as html) with attachments don´t show the images. Also, if i switch to text view, the images don´t appear as attachments...

JensusUT 18. April 2006, 19:32

The Copy&Paste-Bug in vB is back :frown:
Copy a text more than 3-4 rows and paste it in a vB forum thread box. All page returns are cut off.
Example: http://www.imerx.net/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=3&Itemid=10&lang=en

HeeZy 18. April 2006, 19:50

Widget GUI has gfx glitches when using native skins. hovering mouse cursor over it leaves streaks. also can't type text into some widgets.

m4v1s 18. April 2006, 20:02

Still reports error when specifying the port without http:// or www.

"
The address type is unknown or unsupported

google.com:80
"

Very stable release
THANKS

Tommy2k4 18. April 2006, 20:14

@Junyor: bug-203838 (megaupload crash)

HeeZy 18. April 2006, 20:15

another bug. after viewing cookie information, the server manager becomes blank.

Tools>Advanced>Cookies...

open a site's tree, double-click a cookie, click OK, server manager becomes blank.

rgrover 18. April 2006, 20:16

y'know there wasn't that much a leap between opera's v7 and v8 but v9 is blowing my mind everyday!

Thanks for an awesome web browser. You guys rule!

omeow 18. April 2006, 20:20

Still no word on how the widget area is supposed to work when Opera is used on a computer with multiple monitors.

Let's discuss this in this thread.

Svoboda 18. April 2006, 20:21

Please change the default selected button in wand dialog to 'Save' instead 'Not now', so that when I press Enter (as a possitive answer), the wand remembers the login. The Esc could be 'Not now'.
Otherwise it brakes the so far behavior of Opera

omeow 18. April 2006, 20:29

Speaking of wand dialog, shouldn't it be possible to control the focused button by using the direction keys instead of just tab?


Is anyone else having problems with favicons in the feed menu? The one for A list apart doesn't show up for me.

Cheimy 18. April 2006, 20:37

Good job

molenin 18. April 2006, 20:44

Same problem with cookies on the localnet forums(192.168.x.x).
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 :frown:

jackpea 18. April 2006, 20:47

Flickr Notes still need fixing.

HeeZy 18. April 2006, 20:47

i get that cookie bug, too. Opera 9 doesn't seem to save cookies for URL's that use their IP addresses.

normal,


same site, but with ip address,


please fix this bug. its been in ever since TP1.

thanx. :smile:

Tommy2k4 18. April 2006, 21:39

Still bug where closing a tab opens a blank one, someone's probably already reported it

Teal_One 18. April 2006, 21:44

@Junyor (in hope to get this time an answer)

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.

System Information: Opera 9.00 Build 8367 on Windows XP SP1

stewie 18. April 2006, 21:45

tommy, that's no bug, if you're talking for when there is a single tab left... otherwise it's probably a bug..

Tommy2k4 18. April 2006, 21:55

Nope it happens when I've got lots of tabs open. And doesn't happen every time.. I'll try and look into what causes it

Edit: Can't seem to replicate it at all now :frown: It always happened with the tab on the far right (most recently opened) so I guess until I can get it to happen again I'll assume that I had an extra blank tab open without noticing.

SirCasey 18. April 2006, 21:59

There is still some kind of bug in the onClick / onSubmit handler that doesn't function the way that versions 7 and 8 all did, and IE and Firefox don't have the 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?

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

still bug in opera. sys: suse 9.0, blackbox 0.70.1

DWz 18. April 2006, 22:06

Can opera has "fix to window witdth" checkbox in F12-s site preferences menu?

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.

Thondhal 18. April 2006, 22:20

There seems still to be a problem with some pictures they open with different kinda of shapes, color, one part move to the other direction etc.

Tommy2k4 18. April 2006, 22:34

The close tab is definately a bug, I can't replicate it very often (like 3 times out of 20) and not sure if there's any specific way to get it to happen but it definately does and I didn't have an extra blank tab open that I didn't notice.

Except it's always the tab on the far right (most recently opened) that I've tried it on

gyc 18. April 2006, 22:44

For the Mac version:

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.

klingoncowboy4 18. April 2006, 22:58

so far so good

operafan2006 18. April 2006, 23:21

As I mentioned in earlier threads, try to fix few issues related to secured sites.
https://banweb.banner.vt.edu/ssb/prod/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin

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.

ihmemies 18. April 2006, 23:24

All the bigger images are still %)=¤&/d up for me. Problem exists after Preview2, P1 didnt' have these. When I try to load a bigger picture, it sometimes screws up like this (... well, sometimes the image is distored like that, sometimes it has other kinds of distortion, sometimes it just cuts without any distortion etc.):

http://www.kotiposti.net/ihmemies/roina/opera_images.jpg

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?

d.i.z. 18. April 2006, 23:24

Preferences->Advanced->Content->Blocked Content... wont open when there are no open tabs or currently selected tab is for example Mail tab.

Not yet reported. At least by me.

Junyor 18. April 2006, 23:28

@Teal_One: Those are probably the default margins for your printer. Do other programs allow you to change the margins so they're less than 1.5"?
