Wd for quick fix build! wink

Anders Friday, May 12, 2006 5:29:00 PM

These have been broken for a while:
1) example.com:8080 type urls don't work without appending http://
2) microsoft msdn is very broken, about 50% chance of page load (not sure about msdn2, the tree always loads tho)

Also, is there a way to turn off the rss system?

Idan AdarYtseJam Friday, May 12, 2006 5:32:29 PM

The Widgets panel has no entry in the Customize section.
If it is a panel, shouldn't i have one?

Hey, do I get to be poster negative one, since I posted about the newest build before Olli did? ;-P

Cool! Another daily bigsmile errr... I meant weekly p

brummi09 Friday, May 12, 2006 6:06:24 PM

if I click since 8393 on a address in a E-Mail, this is not opened.
Over the detour right-click --> open goes it then.
I also turned around the same problem. If I click in Opera on one E-Mail-Adress, nothing
happens - only again over the detour: Right-click --> write E-Mail
Still does someone have, or is with me the worm in it?
Please excuse my bad english

I'm not sure if it was mentioned here, so if it was, I'm sorry. There is a problem with marking in emails. After marking some words the mark changes to the words above that which I've chosen. I hope you get what I mean

The same by me since 1-2 months.

Yay, Gmail display bug seems to be fixed - again!

ShawnSR Friday, May 12, 2006 6:23:31 PM

so far so good wink

IsmarMoeRL Friday, May 12, 2006 6:31:24 PM

Whow.. went to Betanews and found it all crazy and disfigured.. so I cam here to mention that and then saw that it's a "known issue". In short, there is no point to my post bigsmile

Great work, as always! Can't wait for Beta 2 smile

i think this issue is back again!

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, May 12, 2006 7:05:06 PM

Quick question...is the problem with the opera mail client not being able to sychronize properly with gmail an opera issue or a gmail issue? i know i'm not the only one having trouble sychronizing with my gmail account. any information about this problem or what i might be doing that is causing problems with it?

the imap fetch problem is supposedly fixed (haven't tested it yet), but it sounds similar to the problem i'm having with pop gmail.

thanx! yesterdays weekly was amazingly better than last weeks, and this is better than yesterday's so, Opera Team, i think you're on the right track wink

thanx again.

FataL Friday, May 12, 2006 7:22:33 PM

OMG! this build is memory guzzler... in 5 minuts Opera ate more than 1 Gb and Windows start swapping. Windows task manager only showed around 80 Mb... Than I kill opera.exe and memory usage back to normal from 1,5 Gb.
I will try to catch what site (from my 30+) provokes memory leak...

Rijk Friday, May 12, 2006 7:43:35 PM

FataL has it right, xErath should stop dreaming smile [1]

The QA people will get quite upset with the developers if the latter would continue adding features! Some very minor things (like up/down for the search engines) might get in, but basically everything should be done at this point. Widgets UI looks reasonably OK now, though usability comments are of course always welcome.

Bug fixes are still coming in of course - otherwise we wouldn't be talking 'beta', but 'final'.

[1] Dreaming about 9.0, that is. The developers will of course not go on a permanent holiday after 9.0 goes final. Either 9.1 or 10.0 is the next step.

FataL Friday, May 12, 2006 8:02:04 PM

I catched the memory leaker and CPU usage riser: http://3dnews.ru
When I turn off JavaScript there all down to normal.

superjoppe Friday, May 12, 2006 8:03:41 PM

@Desktop team: Is it planned to have Opera remember the status (open or closed)of our widgets upon re-opening Opera? I HATE having to reopen my widgets each time I open Opera........

Opera it still eating my memory whilst using Pandora... Is this a widget issue?????????????????????

koteq Friday, May 12, 2006 8:44:03 PM

I have one problem with flash animation in Opera build 8410 (Windows) on page:
http://www.frazpc.pl/
Flash advertisment can't be closed by close button - this problem is present in every versions of Opera 9 - maby it's time to fix it?

xmarcusx Friday, May 12, 2006 8:55:10 PM

still problems with java at hushmail; build unix 276; java-engine: 1.5.0_06; applet doesn't load

myspace isn't anymore broken ;-)

still problems with mail login dialog at www.bw.fh-jena.de

chrislu Friday, May 12, 2006 8:57:31 PM

now opera demonstrates the download issues right here with the MSI download. in die middle the download is stopped and wont get restarted. when i try to redownload opera opens the binary in a new tab as text display... MAN this sucks.

ChristianResearchWizard Friday, May 12, 2006 9:06:14 PM

To everybody having problems with raising memory or freezing Opera on some pages:
I had a lot of problems with Opera using incredible amount of memory and finally with Opera freezing and not responding even without any tab open. After a clean install everything works fine now. Therefore I assume there might be a problem with updated weeklys.
I think it would be very interesting to know whether the problems still exist on a clean install?
On Windows the classic installer should allow to have the same version of Opera in a new or empty folder (msi installer allows only repair and remove for the same version).


@FatalL: with http://3dnews.ru working set memory raises very slowly (<10K/Sec) and for a longer time with me but this stopped after few minutes, virtual size is stable all the time.

@Operandme: Using Pandora in this weekly the memory consumption is much less now - maybe because of the new daily/weekly or because of my clean install (of the last weekly). Pandora uses Flash and I had the same problem with other Flash-pages but not with other widgets, so it has been probably been a problem with Flash.


@Opera developers: The "Add" button in widgets panel reuses existing tab - it should open a new tab (using shift+click is not what I'm thinking of).

I have ~98% CPU load and memory leaking with ~1Mb/sec. It started from ~25 Mb (no opened windows) to 1 Gb (with one window opened) and still growing until I kill application.

ChristianResearchWizard Friday, May 12, 2006 9:28:21 PM

@FatalL: I know this behaviour very well - from the time before I did a clean install. What is your result on 3dnews with a clean install in a new or empty folder?
(for the test you can use a second same version Opera, on windows you need the classic installer).

JensusUT Friday, May 12, 2006 9:32:46 PM

Sorry, Fatal, can't confirm. Neither a updated Beta-Installation nor a fresh setup shows this behaviour.
Memory usage is stable after 4-5 sec and go down after closind 3dnews.ru

Bloody new build will not close it stays on the system tray (XP only, 98SE is fine) and even exit won't work from the icon, and [X] on the upper corner, and so on; it will not close down. -- Gölök ZLF Buday; http://www.opera.being-ones-self.org/ --

www.newsmax.com crashes in Build 8410. Never crashed in Build 8406 and prior.

Hmmm... checked it later and the site is no longer crashing ... something about that site was a problem earlier, though .... I couldn't restart where I left off unless I quickly closed that page each time ....

Eric Bladeeblade Saturday, May 13, 2006 12:42:35 AM

BetaNews is working perfectly for me, with this build..

however, it's still re-downloading feeds from months ago, every 20 minutes or so.

Ask Google!

Please give an option to show or disable the Widgets in the main menu. You did it for the Window. As in I do not want to see it.

Anilcranil7 Saturday, May 13, 2006 4:06:02 AM

NTLM and https problem still there. Try this.

Enable NTLM. Try accessing sites starting with https. It crashes/hangs the browser.

Other things look quite OK.

Ahui886 Saturday, May 13, 2006 4:14:00 AM

Good job!thanks!

I hope this build can fix the bug that can not open the links in Feeds.

sadly to say this bug is also exist!

hey.mystery Saturday, May 13, 2006 6:00:04 AM

Plz fix the problem with Babylon

tjeerd Saturday, May 13, 2006 6:19:19 AM

There are still problems wit the installation procedure. After upgrading to this build, Java applets did not work anymore (as i reported in build 8393.

This time copying opera.jar file back from my opera backup did not solve the problem. I had to remove Opera and do a clean install.

Doing a clean install is not a big problem but you will loose all (site level) settings, Bookmarks etc.

I think that Opera still has some work to do with Opera.jar
