Awesome :smile:

Hurray :smile: Glad to see you're still fixing bugs - it needs it!

taussick 23. June 2006, 13:24

vladann 23. June 2006, 13:27

Thanks

sadad 23. June 2006, 13:30

good~

NoobSaibot 23. June 2006, 13:37

i wonder if you ever manage to sort the gdi issue out.

Fyrd 23. June 2006, 13:38

Nifty, I was just typing something in a textfield at reduced size a few minutes ago. Will be glad to see it fixed.

P.S. You guys really ought to consider using an update method similar to Firefox's (for the official builds, not the weeklies of course), since that'll make people a lot more likely to accept V9.01, etc. I do imagine it might take a lot of time to implement such a system. For Opera 10, perhaps? :smile:

Gofo 23. June 2006, 13:38

um, forgive me for nagging, but is it possible that the opera devs could implement undo close window (not just tabs, for when you have many windows open)? (and also save-a-window-as-a-session when many windows are open, but that's not as important). could someone *up there* respond so i dont have to keep my hopes up? :smile:

Vladimyr 23. June 2006, 13:39

I hope it has the streaming tv fixed (can not check it right now)

NoobSaibot 23. June 2006, 13:40

@Gofo: undo close window = CTRL+Alt+Z

AndrewNi 23. June 2006, 13:40

Thanks :smile:

The phpBB caching problem hasn't been fixed in this build though. Hope it's fixed soon, it's driving me crazy.

alecmg 23. June 2006, 13:40

to Gofo: have you checked trashcan icon on your window bar? All closed windows remain there until you close the session. And it was implemented in Opera 8 I think :smile:

Gofo 23. June 2006, 13:41

@NoobSaibot: that's undo close tab. not window.

julio66 23. June 2006, 13:41

Not the most important "bug" but wanted to say that opera has after the 9 release gotten a "frame" issue;
When having a black frame around a table, flash movie etc etc it collaps the frame to a 1 line frame at the bottom of the table and/or flash movie.
For example..... look at my company webpage; www.marqez.com (need to select language and you will see the error)
Any chance for fixing this error???

Vladimyr 23. June 2006, 13:41

Gofo, are you tried "Trash" button near the tabs?

Gofo 23. June 2006, 13:43

@alecmg: i know about undo close TAB, but i meant undo close WINDOW, the accidental closing of which can be a disaster and afaik cannot be undone in any easy way.

miltonari 23. June 2006, 13:59

Testing!!!!

Tolque53 23. June 2006, 14:03

Wonderful!

zeppelin_op 23. June 2006, 14:08

nice job

opera does not remember "Interface email composing font"

when i click tools.prefs.advnc.fonts i can see the correct font listed but its not active, i have to press the OK but to activate the correct font.

tnx

saito 23. June 2006, 14:13

Browser id at opera:about says, Opera/9.01 (Windows NT 5.0; U; en) and in the header of OperaMail says User-Agent: Opera Mail/9.01 (Win32)

Odd, the Linux build shows 9.01 in opera:about. Not complaining, though. :wink:

*Edit - Beaten by two seconds by saito in reporting this. :D

humerus 23. June 2006, 14:13

Can I hope to get positive response for corrupted downloads using opera?

It is nice that opera people are not sleeping still ;-)

Fresh 23. June 2006, 14:13

Not related to the build itself... Nice to see another weekly!!

But, no feed message announcing this weekly????

is still here

btw, can someone confirm that this bug is rael and not just my imagination? I tested it on both Windows and Linux and it's there, but I need someone else to also try it.

cafesote 23. June 2006, 14:18

The color of search, when selecting the text marking the result of the search (CTRL+F), continue dark gray. Would have to come back to the yellow standard, that is more more showy and legible. More easy to find in billions of text lines.

Dima64 23. June 2006, 14:19

Good! :smile:

Ahui886 23. June 2006, 14:21

thanks

good job

sebt 23. June 2006, 14:22

Yay! Forms text fields when zooming fixed at last - Thanks!

Must point out that news.bbc.co.uk still errs when zooming; the page selector bar down the left turns black when zoom != 100% (under Windows only).

@Gofo - Undo window close is one of my most long-requested features. It's most useful to people who have 2 or more Opera windows open each populated with tabs grouped on a subject - how I use Opera actually. It's EXTREMELY frustrating when you mistakenly close a window with 20 tabs in it, only to lose the lot. Another pretty please to Opera to implement this!

Thanks Opera devs.

Seb :smile:

Paul Skinner 23. June 2006, 14:23

http://www.critical.lt/research/opera_die_happy.html still crashes it.

*Sigh* No hotkey for widgets.
*Sigh* Widgets still using taskbar space.

Out of interest, why are the widgets using taskbar space if you can't right click the item in the taskbar to perform any action to it?


http://www.holdenf5.co.uk/ tag soup isn't handedled at all well and makes the site entirely unreadable.

http://www.adobe.com/ still has horizontal scrollbar throughout the whole site.


It's nice to see you are keeping up the bug-fixes though.

Wajo357 23. June 2006, 14:23

hmm...the installer language menu defaulted to french for some reason...never did that before.

http://tformers.com/ still broken with a serious rendering regression


greatjob guys... only one HUGE complaint - I thought we were moving more towards dailies! :smile:

Pondus 23. June 2006, 14:27

Alpha-Toxic: I think I reproduced the problem once, but it doesn't seem to be a pattern -- at least on my machine.

Bill_P 23. June 2006, 14:27

Pandora widget, is still problematic (at least in Linux)
A window opens in the taskbar but nothing is visible or heard but if I re-downlownd it, it works. BUT everytime I start opera i need to re-download the widget for it to work.

Also, it skips when tabs are changed in Opera or windows opened/closed in KDE or apps started. Anyone any ideas? I enlarged folder space in flash but it did not help.

thanks,

MrFrodo 23. June 2006, 14:28

@sebt and Gofo

How about:

Prefs > Advanced > Browsing > Confirm Exit

?

Alienz 23. June 2006, 14:30

Download failed when enable voice in Opera preference.

toman 23. June 2006, 14:32

@Bill_P: You should delete all the Pandora widgets you have, then try again.

olli 23. June 2006, 14:32

Alienz: Yes thats because we havent updated the package for 9.01 :-)

Gofo 23. June 2006, 14:33

In linux, (I think with pretty much all the opera9 builds) interactivity in flash is buggy. some flash games react really slow to the keyboard and mouse, and sometimes will behave as if it received only a short keypress although the key is still being pressed. flash works fine in firefok though.

aimzz 23. June 2006, 14:34

Thanks :hat:

theMan02 23. June 2006, 14:36

I have been getting alot of crashes with the final built when clicking back quickly multiple times. If there is a page I want to go back to 4-6 pages back it will crash when trying to load them.

Gofo 23. June 2006, 14:36

MrFrodo, "confirm exit" in preferences only refers to actually closing the opera process. it will not confirm window closing if there are other windows open.

22sas 23. June 2006, 14:38

*sigh* Still no IMAP fixes. Sent mail showing compose window; no new mail sound on INBOX.

bjosephs 23. June 2006, 14:41

Yeah! Text display in input fields is fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edgar0024 23. June 2006, 14:46

Problem display correct page in opera 9 build 8505
The site http://www.tennisone.com/ continue not display correct layout page.
In oper 8.5 page display good.
Edgar

phreax9802 23. June 2006, 14:50

Yay! I still get my weekly fixes :smile:

That said, I think the create search function is still broken (i.e right click search field -> create search) Anyone having the same problem? It worked before..in 84xx I think.

Thank you.

haavard 23. June 2006, 14:52

phreax9802: On all sites, or just one specific site? Please include examples.

kyleabaker 23. June 2006, 14:55

I hope we'll still see a few mid weeklies, lol. :wink: Great work Opera Team, glad to you you didn't go on vacation quiet yet. haha.

Fyrd 23. June 2006, 14:59

Any plans on allowing arrow keys to select the search engine again? This was working up until some weekly build, but it's been broken since then. :frown: Somehow holding the Option/Alt key will make the list show up, but you can't cycle through the options.

zimmicz 23. June 2006, 15:07

I wanna say I'm having some problems with on-line rss reader at orijinn.com. When I click on "mark site read" in the left column, it doesn't do anything, so I have to click on link under the post that i am viewing. Is it only my problem or anybody else having the same problem?

I am talking about Opera 9 build 8501.

Opera is great :smile:.
