Nice to see the orange RSS icon again.

This should also include the ability to move the Mail folders to the new location as well. I mention this because, for some reason, Opera doesn't include the mail folder under the profile tree. Placing the mail folder under the profile tree would be better, IMHO. This way, if a user wishes to move his entire personal profile and mail folders to an encrypted drive, folder or jump drive, just moving the top level "profile" folder would move everything, and no personal data would be left accessable to other users, including mail.
Basically, Opera should have a feature that enables easy relocation of all files and folders specific to a specific user to any location desired, leaving only core Opera files in place.

I encountered a problem where my bookmarks and personal bar were *LOST* running the beta on SUSE 10. I had just started Opera, and it restored a bunch of windows I had open from last time. One of those was to a website that requires authentication. It opened in a background tab (which is fine).
While all the windows were being restored, I got a message about there being pending IMAP transactions from last time, so I told it to resume. That brought up a dialog to verify the SSL certificate of the mail server (BTW, an "accept this certificate permanently" button would be nice). I clicked OK on that.
Then I switched to the page which required authentication. The authentication dialog popped up. As I was typing in the username and password, a small dialog popped up that said Opera was unable to write to the opera6.adr file. That scared me, so I went and looked in my profile directory, and the opera6.adr file seemed fine. I copied it out just to be safe.
I clicked OK on the error message and it just kept popping right back up. I eventually managed to hit the close button on the opera window and get it to close. When I restarted it, my bookmarks and personal bar were gone! I looked in my profile directory, and the opera6.adr file was truncated (to zero bytes). I closed Opera, restored the copy of opera6.adr that I had saved a minute before, restarted it, and all was well. However, if I hadn't known to grab that file, I'd have lost all that stuff.
I suspect this has more to do with the authentication dialog being open while it tried to write opera6.adr than it does with all the stuff that led up to it, but that's the whole chain of events in case it matters.
If there's a better place I should report this, please let me know.

- when loading page I don't move with this page (now with only few pages, but still)
- missing info about links (how I can "discover" target of link now?)

Since this place is probably as close to the developers as one can get, I figured I'd check with you guys
Anyone know what's going on?

I've been having the same problem as Whit3Wizard since Monday. M2 hasn't downloaded any new posts from opera.beta (the only newsgroup I read in betas). I've still been using build 8432 for windows since it was released (haven't had the time to upgrade yet).

is still being a resource hog, though not to the level of the previous build.
It does peak at 100% CPU usage, but goes back down to around 70-80%.
It's eating 45 Megabytes of RAM while it's at it.
It is now possible to exit the page (Opera doesn't freeze).
Windows build - Windows XP SP2 fully patched.

No crashes with M2 and IMAP account!

The download crash bug from the previous build seems to be gone though.

maybe if you cache like mozilla, per url, it will works great
example: http://www.lucmar.com/aesthetic/ the site itself and the feed from the site
2. in Newsfeeds, the default view for feeds should (must!) be [down arrow] Sent (in reverse chronological order)

@bdclary: Hrm, OK, I'll look into it.

-> if you disable statusbar tooltips are activated
-> if you activate statusbar tooltips are deactivated
(this rules are for link-targets only, tooltips show title-attribute in any case)

Thats how I have been adding URL's all along. What am I missing here? TIA
sebt # Thursday, June 15, 2006 11:36:02 PM
The gaps are not spaces, can anyone else confirm this? It's really annoying... appeared in the last 3 Linux builds or so and I think I've seen it in Win32 as well.
Little recommend.. The new transparent tray icon is nice but seems smaller than all the other icons now that its not in a box
bug-214262
The problem is especially visible on the opera bug report form!
Edit: found the bug; type "1y" into a box, then type "1234567y" into a box, and see the difference. It seems that Opera is incorrectly calculating the gaps of all the preceeding characters of a certain character group and inserting the incorrect gap when the character group changes. Symbols, alpha and numerics seem to denote groups.

JS Error Console still popups & JS not works in this case.
visit http://perlovka.gentoo.ee/ and move mouse over bottom badges.
in Firefox you'll see a semi-transparent yellow tooltip, but in Opera - error console and nothing else.
Also, take a look here http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/alert.html

I would like to see in Opera something like Firefox extension "Stealther" to surf the web without leaving a trace in my local computer. What it does is temporarily disable the following:
History
Downloads
Cookies
Disk Cache
Saved Form Information
Referrer Header
None of the affected options gets cleared totally as opposed to some other extensions which enable you to wipe these privacy issues with a single click, but at the same time leaving you without the history of your frequently visited websites. You can always enable/disable stealth mode.
