Opera Desktop Team

Monday: A new week begins..

By Johan Borg. Monday, 12. June 2006, 17:21:52

Last build had a few very annoying issues, so we decided to give you an early update. Searches now work again and the error console shouldn't pop up every 20 seconds or so

Might have to clean out opera:config#UserPrefs|ConsoleFilter on dirty installs to make the error dialog stop appearing.

Known issues

Old RSS Icon.
We're sure you'll find some more.
Forms inside tables might corrupt table width

Changelog

Searches are fixed.
No crash when rightclicking in personalbar.
Error console not always appearing.
Lots of stability fixes.

Regarding the old RSS icon: Mozilla would like us (and other users of it) to sign an agreement on the use of the feeds icon. We fully respect their rights to the icon and will not use it as long as this isn't sorted out.

Have fun - and Happy testing!

GreyWyvern # 12. June 2006, 18:22

Oh frabjous day, kaloo, kalay!

d.i.z. # 12. June 2006, 18:23

Thanks, MSI link needs fixing

szotsaki2 # 12. June 2006, 18:24

Sixth. At least among the first 10

And eeer, yes the MSI link doesn't want to work.
EDIT: It seems it was fixed

TriMN # 12. June 2006, 18:31

Great works

Jere # 12. June 2006, 18:32

May I ask, what kind of an agreement?

The icons have been released for free at [url]http://feedicons.com/, weird if they suddenly want something in compensation for using them.

thevmail # 12. June 2006, 18:33

yay in the top 10, thanks for the new build

w2phoenix # 12. June 2006, 18:35

cookies for sites does not display the moment i am browsing the site..if i restart the browser the cookies are visible in the server manager..pls rectify this

LouisC # 12. June 2006, 18:37

Damn, whatever happened to the open source philosophy? Mozilla's corrupt now that they have marketshare. Go figure.

devz0r # 12. June 2006, 18:38

error console still pops up =\ (it's disabled)

w2phoenix # 12. June 2006, 18:39

even after disabling the Error console ..still the error console always appears..why cant we control the console errors to show up

otzi # 12. June 2006, 18:39

Good job. Now is www.pctuning.cz ok. I lll love you.

Hylic # 12. June 2006, 18:44

The installation left the old quick launch and desktop icons, this (it just added a second one).

olli # 12. June 2006, 18:44

devz0r, w2phoenix: Example sites of where it appears? Do you have a dirty or clean install?

archetwist # 12. June 2006, 18:44

For me old RSS icon is not an issue, it is an improvement

MrFukov # 12. June 2006, 18:45

Thanks \o/
Even downgrade to beta2 didn't work but I hope this helps.

Error console is easy to "disable": drop down menu --> voice.
(if someone still have that problem)

Kanel # 12. June 2006, 18:47

Great, thanks!

dodd # 12. June 2006, 18:48

for me it's first usable weekly after beta 2.

No annoying issues found so far.

Junyor # 12. June 2006, 18:49

varyform # 12. June 2006, 18:52

Jazmo # 12. June 2006, 18:53

I'll wait for user comments before trying this

SKolb # 12. June 2006, 18:55

Me too , would be interested in the discussion about the RSS icon.
BTW ;-) I still can see it on this page ...

What this? In IE and Firefox cursor load, but in Opera no. =)

MrFrodo # 12. June 2006, 18:58

Clean Mac install (except a user js file).

Weird submit button issue. Possible regression? Can't give link to page but...

StarGazer # 12. June 2006, 18:58

The version seems to have reintroduced username/password prompts when behind a corporate firewall. The last version eliminated it completely (log in only once). Prior to the last verson it happened almost on every page load. Now it happens more randomly. I just visited CNN.com and was prompted three or four times in a row as the page loaded.

Edit: I just refreshed this page and was again prompted multiple times for my network username/password.

ripper3 # 12. June 2006, 19:00

Fixed everything that was important to me, just a shame it still takes up 100% of my CPU time...

it's getting so bad I've had to switch back to Firefox.
Also, it seems to be a common problem, but it doesn't show javascript menus properly. Such as with www.batracer.com, which actually recommends enabling flash menus instead of javascript ones.

dserl # 12. June 2006, 19:04

Yeah,We need search fine work.

HerwigF # 12. June 2006, 19:14

@ Olli:

Disable the error console and go e.g. to:
http://www.netzeitung.de/deutschland/405598.html

Lots of errors still pop up if a proxy is used where the ad URLs are blocked, like http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js
and/or others.

So I can't get rid of these pop-ups... I like the error console for pages I created myself, but all the alien errors are simply annoying.

Cheers
Herwig

When exactly did the "hit F6 to toggle widgets on and off" feaature disappear? or ist just a bug on my installation that nothings happens when i try to toggle?

d.i.z. # 12. June 2006, 19:22

Fresh table bug (introduced in previous weekly):

klingoncowboy4 # 12. June 2006, 19:23

Hmm this build seems to be a bit bigger then the others...

szotsaki2 # 12. June 2006, 19:25

Hurray! The installer contains Hungarian language. But there is a 'little' problem with this:
(The red text is the right. The black is the installer's.)

flyingscanian # 12. June 2006, 19:27

"the error console shouldn't pop up every 20 seconds or so"

Great! Now if you could stop it from appairing every 5 seconds or so it would be pretty darn good! ;-)

I get a lot of error messages when I have speech activated. For example there is an error message every time I switch tabs. Turning of speech makes it stop.

Fyrd # 12. June 2006, 19:29

Great to see the searches working again, one minor problem through: previously the up/down arrow keys would let you select your search engine, now they won't so I'm forced to use the mouse (the horror!).

SKolb # 12. June 2006, 19:30

Works fine here ,
I can not reproduce the popup error console with the latest build (classic installer (update))

However I miss in the BlockContent menu the already blocked image adresses , if I look into the details. Its just empty. Same for u guys ?

flyingscanian # 12. June 2006, 19:32

Going to pages with videos on http://www.alexrlevy.com/vfx/robotattack.html makes Opera crash every time. If I reopen Opera with the last tabs open, the video on the open tab works. But again, opening a new page makes Opera crash.

Edit: It might just be my computer. That page now crashes in Firefox and IE also. The strange stuff is that it worked (in Opera) before this build.

MrFukov # 12. June 2006, 19:45

@flyingscanian:
That page works fine.

elNino # 12. June 2006, 19:47

Since last 3-4 weekly versions I have to enable plugins (e.g. FlashPlugin) at every Opera start. (Unix)

harlekyn # 12. June 2006, 19:48

Hm, now I've got a German Opera... This sucks - why am I not asked what version will be installed? I'm using a German Windows, too - but always liked the English Opera version more. Any hint on how to get the English version back?

Gort # 12. June 2006, 19:55

OK, does anyone have this issue with cookies? I have my general preference to delete cookies on exit, however some of the sites that I have logged into seem to retain their cookies even after exit, so I find myself automatically logged into the sites when I restart the application and go to the pages. I haven't got these sites in my Site Preferences to save the cookies after exit despite the general setting, so it can't be for that reason. I did try before with the Site Preferences to save the cookies on various sites a few builds ago, but that didn't work so I just deleted those Site Preferences entries. Other cookies are deleted fine, just some of the log in ones on the sites that I have saved via the Wand. Actually, some site's log in cookies aren't saved. The sites that seem to affect me with cookies saved over sessions are my.opera.com and forum.digitalspy.co.uk.

Linux build 333, shared, .6; Mandriva 2006.0 and KDE 3.4.2.

Evo2Me # 12. June 2006, 19:59

@harlekyn

Strange, I just did an upgrade install, got MSI's language drop-down and simply changed to English. You may just install over your existing (current) build and do the same. Otherwise install an older version, then the new and choose English in the drop-down.

Personally I'd rather have British English than US ... (grin)

The handling of widgets changed in Beta 2. Use the Widgets menu or Widgets panel now.

Vega_PCLab # 12. June 2006, 20:01

1. Tooltips on web pages are gone in this build. How can I enable them??? Now I have no clue what URL's are behind all links.
2. I'm using ENG Windows XP with regional settings set to Poland and I once I've installed this build my Opera language has changed to polish without my permission; no prompts, no questions - What the hell? How am I supposed to get english Opera back? I know it's Beta but still, it's unacceptable!
3. No way to downgrade this build. After succesful b8455 installation, Opera build is still 8482!

I tried to replicate this, but found the weirdest problem: I couldn't select another language. Well, I selected another language, but the installer switched to Dutch anyway on the 'Start' screen. Is that just my system acting up?

Fyrd # 12. June 2006, 20:06

Looks like the "Title: " and "Address: " prefixes are back in this build (Mac), despite the status bar being on. I hope you guys didn't change your mind on removing them?

shoust # 12. June 2006, 20:07

@ Vega_PCLab

If you have the status bar on, thats turns url tooltips off.

uniorzeroman # 12. June 2006, 20:09

It's steel very much bugs in Opera 9...

Vega_PCLab # 12. June 2006, 20:12

shoust - thanks! But I don't know what enabled it. I have checked my 8455 backup (made right before 8482 instllation) and it's disabled. Oh well.

Evo2Me # 12. June 2006, 20:13

- http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage still had to be reloaded manually by me before I am shown logged in (worked in O8.xx and some later builds)

- http://www.iview-multimedia.com; Flash movie still too high obstructing the menu when O9 ID's as Opera or Mozilla, works correctly when ID is IE

- http://www.salon.com can still not be read with a sponsored site pass because after watching the frontpage directly goes back to the "View ad" tunnel page. This may be connected to other Flash problems since all ads I can remember are Flash'ed
