yet another daily!

By csant. Friday, 16. June 2006, 15:16:12

, , , ,

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

"Fixed display on opera: pages."

tprochazka 16. June 2006, 17:08

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.

tprochazka 16. June 2006, 17:10

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

tprochazka 16. June 2006, 17:15

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 16. June 2006, 17:17

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

TriMN 16. June 2006, 17:20

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)

mgillespie 16. June 2006, 17:21

@.prochazka

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..

hyperion_dani 16. June 2006, 17:21

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

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

chrislu 16. June 2006, 17:37

oh please fix the text search highlighting.

slauf 16. June 2006, 17:47

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!

Sebastian from Germany

igorditerni 16. June 2006, 17:52

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

SlavaU 16. June 2006, 17:58

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

RyomaNagare 16. June 2006, 18:00

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 16. June 2006, 18:02

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 16. June 2006, 18:13

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

arghwashier 16. June 2006, 18:18

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

@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 Skinner 16. June 2006, 18:22

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:

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 16. June 2006, 18:23

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 16. June 2006, 18:26

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

musebliss 16. June 2006, 18:28

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 16. June 2006, 18:28

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

Marsjanin 16. June 2006, 18:29

@ 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 16. June 2006, 18:39

>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 16. June 2006, 18:40

@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 16. June 2006, 18:42

STRG+F does not work :-(

Windows XP Pro 64bit

FataL 16. June 2006, 18:49

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

Raistlin 16. June 2006, 18:50

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.

Fyrd 16. June 2006, 18:52

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 :frown:

Any reason for this curious anomaly?

Digidani 16. June 2006, 18:53

Is Opera 9.0 going final? Or is this only a "joke"...? -> [url]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 Skinner 16. June 2006, 18:58

@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.
