Another weekly-ish build

This week's major new feature is IPv6 for mac.

* Fix for missing marker on floated list items.
* Doubleclick to select words now doesn't select punctuation.
* Opening images in mail by rightclicking image now works.
* Several content blocker fixes.
* Better visual feedback in UI for changes that depend on each other.
* Temporary download directory used for opening files in external applications can now be modified in opera:config.


UNIX specific:
* Now using operapluginwrapper to detect plug-ins.
* Fixed several crashers related to multiple concurrent login dialogs.
* Java now not doesn't grab all keyboard input.

Great, thanks! (fifth :wink: )

hcastill 26. May 2006, 16:18

WOW! I'm very impressed, apparently all the freezes/unresponsivness I was getting were related to the cookies bug. They are gone!!! Thank you!

tomurbanowicz 26. May 2006, 16:19

There is no file :frown:

ne081 26. May 2006, 16:20

Im getting 404's so i guess they arent all uploaded yet....

Fyrd 26. May 2006, 16:20

Yay!

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but as a Opera/Mac user, what benefits will I actually see from this IPv6 support?

Ward 26. May 2006, 16:21

Error 404

mecki 26. May 2006, 16:22

yeah, the link seems to be broken...

MrFrodo 26. May 2006, 16:24

No mention of Flash issues:

Are these big things to fix????

Waiting...still

brummi09 26. May 2006, 16:28

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
Ciao Jörg ;-)

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.
Ciao Jörg ;-)

Ciao Jörg ;-(

By brummi09, # 19. May 2006, 04:16:35

Why are my messages ignored?
Ciao Jörg :-(

Also in 8432 unfortunately no changes

Junyor 26. May 2006, 16:32

@brummi09: Disable 'Fit to width' to get it to work. We're aware of the problem.

hotaru 26. May 2006, 16:34

i have a problem with this build... some text isn't showing up the "Transfers" thing: http://img389.imageshack.us/my.php?image=operabug7js.png

it worked fine in the last build (284)... i'm using the linux static qt build on freebsd amd64 if that helps...

MrFrodo 26. May 2006, 16:38

Crashed twice on the community forums here. Once logging in and once trying to go to the Mac forum.

I deleted all prefs except skins and bookmarks...

Mac 3398

Jere 26. May 2006, 16:42

Come on... get it online :frown:

Teal_One 26. May 2006, 16:46

My bug (204116 [1]) is finally fixed. Thanks a lot!!!

[1]
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.

Kamaleao 26. May 2006, 16:58

Error 404 too.

Junyor 26. May 2006, 17:02

The links seem to be working here now.

@Teal_One: You're welcome. :smile:

Ward 26. May 2006, 17:05

Try using a proxy - it works, albeit slower.

JavaScript update Parent window not working since Beta 1.
PLEEEEEEAAAAASE guys, can't be that hard to reactivate this feature!

Junyor 26. May 2006, 17:10

@dafalias: Bug number?

tomurbanowicz 26. May 2006, 17:14

@Ward: How to do it? HELP

searchme 26. May 2006, 17:25

8432 downloaded but not yet installed for lack of time to test. But wow, look at that changelog! I see at least two items I had been watching for -- one of them (the cookie fix to ssp) -- that I think important to basic functionality of a very useful feature. Thanks for the double-click selection fix, too. There are other changes identified well enough that it is worth looking for them. But the really important change (if I don't delude myself) is the changelog itself. It shows impressive progress in a short space of time and it brings new fixes to everyone's attention. The more specific, the better, I think (up to the point where further precision is no help to testers). Well done!

Ward 26. May 2006, 17:33

To download: Find a good proxy* and pop into network preferences >> Proxy servers and paste the IP and port numbers into the relevant fields for HTTP. Make sure HTTP is checked then OK your way out of all the dialogs.

Try downloading again. It could take a few minutes or fail immediatly. If it does, try a different proxy - ideally one in the Netherlands.

* Get your proxy IP and ports here

White Elephant 26. May 2006, 17:35

THANKS A LOT,

....and you forgot to mention in your changelog that FINALLY the visited links keep their changed font.

BUT

there is a nasty regression:

In build 8414 the page <http://www.rccc.org/recording/index.asp> was displayed correctly, as it has been for years using Opera to access it!!!

But now, in build 8432, the Chinese Characters on the page are displaced. Please compare by opening this address with any version prior to build 8432 (or even - oh horrors - in M$ IE or Firefox) , and than using the current version. Even if your Chinese reading skills are a little bit wanting, you will see what I mean.

But I will stick with Opera as my default browser come what may, because he who laughs last laughs best.

Keep up the good work!

:frown:

Kanel 26. May 2006, 17:42

One crash at the Opera community forums for me. (See also the post by MrFrodo ^^)

porneL 26. May 2006, 17:48

> Temporary download directory used for opening files in external applications can now be modified in opera:config

At least some workaround for Mac Opera unzipping files to hidden directory! :D

FataL 26. May 2006, 17:49

XSLT issue with not checked checkboxes solved! :up:
BTW, why this kind of fixes not included in changelog?

zombie 26. May 2006, 17:52

- Still not synchronizing all IMAP folders.
- bug-208625 not fixed.

Junyor 26. May 2006, 17:53

@zombie: Is synchronization at least improved or do you see no difference?

Alienz 26. May 2006, 17:54

Great that visited links problem has been fixed :smile:

Crash 3 times at Opera community forum when trying to enter Betas, previews, and weeklies section.

pholie 26. May 2006, 17:56

I am wondering, why you put out only static version for Ubuntu dapper?

pip_ 26. May 2006, 17:57

nice, now the taskicon works correct with fluxbox...

zombie 26. May 2006, 17:57

@Junior: Can't see any difference from previous builds. I have to play more with it to say anything definite though.

Let me know if you want me to set up a test account for you.

lynott 26. May 2006, 17:59

www.digit.no freeze opera b 8432

olli 26. May 2006, 18:01

lynott: Confirmed. Did you file a bug report? :-)

toadbee 26. May 2006, 18:01

Hi Guys - really enjoying v9 thus far. My primary interest is in the IMAP capabilities and so a few comments:

-I have 5 Imap accounts, passwords are not saved. When I start opera all of the password boxes pop up on top of each other, some steal focus even if I'm already typing in one. More importantly they do not remove focus from Opera itself - and so I often look up to see I've just done a google search on my password (google is my start page.)

-Need Local Mailbox capabilties for archiving (or am i missing it)

- would like a bypass for "imap sent folder" in the compose window as an option to not forward a copy anywhere


Lito 26. May 2006, 18:13

A big and interesting changelog. Thank you!

dafalias 26. May 2006, 18:15

@Junyor

Filed bug report weeks ago. How can I find out bug report number?

lynott 26. May 2006, 18:16

@Olli: Jup. Bug reported.
Tried to install 8414 over 8432 (mm, I'm addicted to digit), but that didn't help. Option to repair only. Well, have to uninstall and reinstall 8414.

Daedalus 26. May 2006, 18:29

Heh, first thing I noticed is that the default sans-serif font is now set to Arial instead of Verdana.
