yet another daily!

By Claudio Santambrogiocsant. Friday, June 16, 2006 3:16:12 PM

, , , ,

Well, it's Friday again (for real, this time), so you shouldn't be too surprised to see a new build smile

And the changelog is getting shorter:
  • CNN video does not crash.
  • Favicons in widgets work again (on Windows and Mac only, for now).
  • Fixed display on opera: pages.


And this time we have an extra bonus for you: we would like some more feedback on various UNIX platforms, and therefore all UNIX packages are available! (Yeahy!) And in this context it might be worth reminding that installation on SunOS is fixed.

Happy testing, and enjoy!

It's Friday again! (well, in Asia)Weekendly release

I still doesn't have answer to my question :-(

Why I must still click to flash for activation it? This is most disgusting behavior in Opera. Why you can do it? It's the same problem as in Explorer? Opera ASA is not USA company. In Europe doesn't exist software patents as in USA. Btw: For Explorer eixst way how to disable it.

Tomas Prochazkatprochazka Friday, June 16, 2006 5:10:09 PM

And why Opera open new blank page when I click to downloadable file?

Tomas Prochazkatprochazka Friday, June 16, 2006 5:15:19 PM

http://atom.mamto.cz/projekty/opera/bug13/
This was near good in build 8432, but from 8490 it's this complete badly.

But. Thanks you for daily update ;-)

towolf Friday, June 16, 2006 5:17:13 PM

csant, what kind of *NIX feedback did you mean exactly?
Normal use while paying attention to eye-catching issues?

Tri M. NguyenTriMN Friday, June 16, 2006 5:20:38 PM

Why is Opera register a new application in "add/remove applications", for every weekly/daily build i upgrade. I've just cleaned everything, and installed a new copy of Opera. After the two dailies, I've gotten 3 Operas in the "add/remove applications"

(windows)

Danhyperion_dani Friday, June 16, 2006 5:21:53 PM

Still the same problem: doesn't automatically save a file to a default download folder. It ask me every time. Is like this kind of settings doesn't stick.
Is true I don't have a clean install. This thing matter ?
OS: Windows XP SP1

daily preview? :-)

Tomas Prochazkatprochazka Friday, June 16, 2006 5:33:30 PM

@mgillespie

I believe it was changed to the behaviour is consistent for how Internet Explorer works.

There is a way to code around it, I assume the code workaround works with Opera also..



This is nice joke. From when it's Internet Explorer model for Opera?

chrislu Friday, June 16, 2006 5:37:51 PM

oh please fix the text search highlighting.

slauf Friday, June 16, 2006 5:47:46 PM

I found a bug in the Download-Manager! When I download a file, par example this weekly build, I can't see the Size of the File and I also can't see the time which the file needs to complete. But when I stop the file and continue the download then the Size and the rest-time will show to me. Please correct it!

Nice weekend for you!

Igorigorditerni Friday, June 16, 2006 5:52:06 PM

I'm waiting for hourly builds p

Good work (windows build) but problems are the same of previous:

http://www.iwbank.it (can't log in personal area)

http://mail.tiscali.it (can't read e-mail even if can log in personal area)

http://dodorifanclub.interfree.it/Dodorifanclub.htm (menu at left don't appear)

http://www.statistiche.it/ (Opera don't show calendar in personal area)

Thank you.

Ciao, Igor

Slava UvarovSlavaU Friday, June 16, 2006 5:58:36 PM

Right click menu->"Search with" does not memorize the last selected search engine... sad But it worked before!

FedericoRyomaNagare Friday, June 16, 2006 6:00:35 PM

did i make 1st page this time?
anyway this week builds are running pretty nice.
One question though, when downloading pictures they appear in the transfer window. is that a bug or a feature?

arghwashier Friday, June 16, 2006 6:02:01 PM

Okay guys you asked for feedback on the .NIX system, so here it is again.

SMOOTH SCROLLING STILL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

sorry about that but it just doesnt compare with the win32 version even when run under wine. X is perfectly capable of smoothscrolling you guys are capable of making a smoothscrolling application, which it does when panning but it just plain SUCKS when using cursur or mousewheel.

PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!

ket000 Friday, June 16, 2006 6:13:22 PM

Hi Compared to build 300 for linux, Build 344 shows fonts in compressed size. This has happened with every build after 300. Here is link to screenshot for build 300 vs 344
Build 300
Build 300
Build 344
Build 344

arghwashier Friday, June 16, 2006 6:18:13 PM

Just to show what happens with smooth scolling under linux (and apperently mac too) here is a screenshot:

arghwashier Friday, June 16, 2006 6:21:29 PM

@By ket000, # 16. June 2006, 18:13:22,

lousy fonts useally have something to do with your install, rename the .opera dir and try if this fixes things

Paul SkinnerPaulSkinner Friday, June 16, 2006 6:22:44 PM

Same as last build:

http://www.holdenf5.co.uk/ is completley b0rked.

http://digg.com/technology/MP3_Recording%3A_Trying_to_cancel_AOL causes CPU spikes and excess memory wastage.

As t.prochazka said:
And why [does] Opera open new blank page when I click to download [a] file?

It's been like that as long as I can remember (Opera 6 or 7), and frankly I'd forgotten about it as I presumed it was designed that way.
Was it?

Also: why is 'Find' greyed out when viewing source? Shouldn't it be possible to find parts of the source that you're looking for?

Scrolling the source is horrible on the eyes too; it is blurry while moving.

Windows Build 8496, Windows XP Pro fully patched.

sebt Friday, June 16, 2006 6:23:25 PM

Form Textboxes still show gaps in the text.

Entring 12345: in a single line textbox shows a big space before the ':'.

Has no-one else noticed this? It's really difficult using Opera with forms at the moment.

There are still some JavaScript-related annoyances:

- One cant't post or answer to a posting here:

- The LEO-Sidebar is not working properly:

hey.mystery Friday, June 16, 2006 6:26:28 PM

ya. it's good to have another daily, it would be better to have roboform works with opera.
so sick of the best browser can't work with the best pw manager

Frankmusebliss Friday, June 16, 2006 6:28:19 PM

Still a bug, not really a rendering bug, but the middle-table (or frame) can't be scrolled....

Website: http://www.pennymobil.de/index.php?id=16

arghwashier Friday, June 16, 2006 6:28:59 PM

Another annoyance on linux is the disappearance of the scrollbar on pages like here:

http://www.geenstijl.nl/mt/archieven/013787.html

on a 1280x1084 resulation

MarcinMarsjanin Friday, June 16, 2006 6:29:25 PM

@ arghwashier

Same in Windows build (but I'm talking about previous daily). :-) With cursors it seems to be OK, but not when press the mid key and moving up or down.

I can't say that affects me, because I see both scrollbars, horizontal and vertical.

Linux build 344, .6 shared; Mandriva 2006.0, KDE 3.4.2.

unodgs Friday, June 16, 2006 6:39:28 PM

>Why I must still click to flash for activation it?
That's what I'd like to know too...
Could you (Opera team) at least add proper option in config to change default behaviour.

arghwashier Friday, June 16, 2006 6:40:51 PM

@Gort, # 16. June 2006, 18:34:23,

strange.... how since Marsjanin on windows is affects. How is your smooth scrolling btw? For me it really sucks on Mandriva 2007 (cooker) and Ubuntu Dapper even with Xgl enabled...

Twilo Friday, June 16, 2006 6:42:41 PM

STRG+F does not work :-(

Windows XP Pro 64bit

FataL Friday, June 16, 2006 6:49:28 PM

Another bug with disabling element... this time connected to Webforms 2.
Previous very similar bug was squshed in recent builds.

Raistlin Friday, June 16, 2006 6:50:44 PM

Pdfs don't work for me again (see previous comments)...

I know. But I think, that this is not good behavior. I must manualy close this page. And for many not advanced user is problem when browser open new page.

Alexis DeveriaFyrd Friday, June 16, 2006 6:52:02 PM

Okay, this is kind of weird...the following is a list of Mac builds and a note on whether or not the "Title: " and "Address: " tooltip prefixes have been removed (with status bar on) :

3428: Yes (first time)
3432: No
3441: No
3445: Yes (yay!)
3447: No sad

Any reason for this curious anomaly?

Digidani Friday, June 16, 2006 6:53:01 PM

Is Opera 9.0 going final? Or is this only a "joke"...? -> http://operawatch.com/news/2006/06/opera-9-just-around-the-corner-grand-marketing-campaign-in-the-works.html

At this time are not working her:

Videos & Livestream at www.n-tv.de and
Videos at www.viva.tv

Other sites I`ve tested works fine with the streams...

Paul SkinnerPaulSkinner Friday, June 16, 2006 6:58:44 PM

@t.prochazka:

I know, I was saying the same, but in a contrived way.
It is a bit strange now that I think about it, it shouldn't really happen.

Alexis DeveriaFyrd Friday, June 16, 2006 6:59:57 PM

@Digidani
I wouldn't bet on it, Opera Watch is not an official Opera source (albeit a very a good one), and I imagine we'd see some release candidates first. Doesn't look like they're in the position of picking an official date yet.

chrislu Friday, June 16, 2006 6:59:58 PM

i would not go final with this load of bugs and usability issues.

like the search with item not remembering the last search or the text search highlights not beeing recognizable.
