One more report.
After installing this weekly, all IRC inline styling is ignored. All colors is black and exit/enters messages in purple instead of green.

I fix this issue by replacing current im.css with im.css from opera 9 final and it helps.


Confirmed.

You can get different Opera Chat styles here, also.

Ice Ardor 7. July 2006, 19:05

Does anyone else have the same feeling that I do in that they want to download these weeklies as torrents, to making the serving costs of Opera cheaper, make the download faster, and boast to Firefox users that they can download using Bittorrent--since Firefox hasn't stolen that feature from Opera [yet]?

Chetto 7. July 2006, 19:18

Hi,

using large Windows fonts the zoom combo box is too small. The visible text is truncated (00%).
Some pages show extra pixel lines during scrolloing when using zoom (e.g. 120%). This also includes this page. I think the smaller the font is the more often it happens.

Casey 7. July 2006, 19:19

I would Bittorrent the weeklies if the option was there!

Casey 7. July 2006, 19:24

I'm actually ignorant on how one starts sharing a bitorrent link, but if someone could do that and post the link near the top in the first few comments I'd look for it...

A.R. 7. July 2006, 19:37

SirCasey, Bittorent is created for big file sizes and there is no sense in making a torrent with every weekly because for small files(like the opera installation) HTTP is much more useful...
If Opera Community wants to do something different than FireFox does it needs something original and useful and not just some foolish ideas...

About Bugs:
1. Google Calendar doesn't work in Opera
2. Yahoo Mail Beta also doesn't work
3. Torec.Net isn't displayed properly
4. Tipo.Co.IL isn't displayed properly and there also are problems with flash(it's very slow)
5. Nana.co.il - The news that are done with Javascript run very slowly, there is no scrollbar. but scrolling works, flash runs very slowly...

That's it for tonight(I have the Windows Build)

Robert Błaut 7. July 2006, 19:37

What about regression bugs?
#219134
#215917
The bugs are probably related to each other. These bugs leads to bork several sites :frown:

Alexandr 7. July 2006, 19:40

Gr8 work!!! Thanks guys! :yes: :hat: :cool:

Christian Walde 7. July 2006, 19:58

this version crashes when trying to download a file to a partition that is already full.

zix 7. July 2006, 20:09

YAHOOOOOOO... still does not work!

Martin Berndt 7. July 2006, 20:35

Does anybody plan to fix all the JS quirks which were introduced with 9.0? Why not go back to the 8.54 JS engine which worked perfectly in comparison?

toadbee 7. July 2006, 20:35

That "freezing" thing someone mentioned - that is annoying. Simply switching to a tab and closing it can't take seconds.
In fact middle click to close and move on to the next tab - you may very well end up closing the wrong tab because of the click delay.

This happens to me on two different WinXP machines, one straight 9.0, one current build.

Lucas 7. July 2006, 20:58

@Junyor
bug 214435: ok :smile:

"We cannot reproduce bug 215629." Not 215619? I think that only there may be to font problem (#215619 interia.pl bug right?). When I trying change the font sizes, nothing happen to that site, size is the same. (I changed all fonts in opera:config#Fonts). Same in Author and User presentation modes. Changing the style of font doesn't help. Anything I do text is cut in that div. :/

Al Clemens 7. July 2006, 20:59

This build is much faster. Upgraded over 8509. Thx

Rijk 7. July 2006, 21:02

@quiris, you reported these this morning and a week ago...

@ICQ_Eagle, you are very vague.

@zix: also very vague. On several yahoo sites there are problems, and the results you get depend on browser ID. We have contacts at Yahoo nowadays, some things have to be fixed on their end. But that takes time.

@solidox: did you file bug reports? Are the problems regressions from Opera 9.00, from 8.5x, or not? Are the problems big or small? (never mind about filing bugs for Google Calendar and Yahoo Mail BTW, we've got reports on these).

@chetto: yes, that 'large fonts' issue has been with us for a long time.

Saulo Benigno 7. July 2006, 21:04

the transfer 'stopped' bug still alive... :frown:

bug-212175@bugs.opera.com

Rijk 7. July 2006, 21:07

@Naorn: font-size changes as expected when zooming the interia.pl page in and out. Setting font-sizes in prefs only affects the defaults, most sites override these defaults with CSS, many with fixed font-sizes.

Rijk 7. July 2006, 21:10

bug 212175 is not really a big deal... we'll probably improve handling this, but don't hold your breath waiting for this in a 9.01 release though.

Lucas 7. July 2006, 21:22

@Junyor, @Rijk
Ok, I only wrote what I done. And know the problem is still the problem for me. :/ If you want I can show you how it looks in opera, firefox or IE (If I remeber good, the problem is in windows too).

Aleksei A. Kolegov 7. July 2006, 21:27

arghh...
from time to time java switched off:
in http://www.livejournal.com don't work quick reply, gmail.com doesn't load.
but sometimes java is work. =)

___
java not install.

Martin Berndt 7. July 2006, 21:43

@Rijk

Many site problems seem to be caused by changed JS in 9.0. Many of these are banking sites etc, but obviously nobody can give you access to his account in order to test. :smile: In 8.54 all was still fine.

But there are also other examples like this one:
http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3272537,00.html
Scroll down until you see the comments of people, usually these open when clicking on them. Also this worked just fine in 8.54 and still does in every other browser. In 9.0 and 9.01 simply nothing happens.

I am a software developer myself, so if you gimme the sources and the old 8.54 JS engine then I can try it for you and report the result. :wink:

Rafal 7. July 2006, 21:57

Almost all of these are regressions.

Very annoying bug which affects some widgets:
213364 - Focus or event issue with widgets (ANNOYING!!!)

I think it's even worse since few builds. I need to click three times or double click for click to be registered in widget.
This should be fixed for next stable release IMO.
Is widget developer on holiday or what? :wink:


Serious usability regression in UI
219267 - Not possible to reveal dropdown menu of search engines
In fact, you can reveal it with alt+down but still can't move with arrows.


Minor annoyances:
215755 - Flickering favicon and wrong pointer on image rollover (ugly)
214789 - Adobe.com horizontal scrollbar problem (BiDi, or how it's called, issue?)


Breaks something in polish bank:
217265 - Java Applet not loaded when width and height set to 0 (probably breaks some functionality in polish bank - mBank)


Long standing bugs:
206049 - Opera window activation focus issue (pain in the...)
208625 - Constant querying of downloaded files (causes performance issues for some)
209069 - Problem with drag&select in select elements (windows only?)
209019 - Text impossible to select testcases: one, two, three (basic functionality, yet not working very well)

and more...

Bill P 7. July 2006, 21:58

Tab are now opening in "recently used order" though set at "tab bar order" - worked correctly in last weeks build

Suse 10.1 x64

Igor 7. July 2006, 22:15

I like title of post... only.

On windows:
I can't log in (http://www.iwbank.it)
I can't log in (http://mail.tiscali.it)
I can't wiew calendar in personal area (www.statistiche.it)

So, i use the best browser of the web, most useful and the best in security but... i have to use IE or FF (all bad in security) when security is more needed (bank, e-mail or personal data).

It's not good... is very bad!!!

Please, give me a browser having the same usability of IE and FF and i will be a very happy man.

Thank you.

Ciao, Igor

@DIMEXmd: If you don't like Opera try other browsers and lose security, customizability, standards support, accessibility etc. p:
And I certainly don't appreciate being sweared for using a superior browser.

I'm totally with ICQ_Eagle:

Does anybody plan to fix all the JS quirks which were introduced with 9.0? Why not go back to the 8.54 JS engine which worked perfectly in comparison?


Adobe.com
Apple.com/uk
Virginradio.co.uk

They all have crappy side effects from the new JavaScript engine.

Two have horizontal scroll bars, and one flicks sideways quickly every 4 seconds or so (I'll leave you to test which ones do which).

All are big name sites, especially in the UK.

All of the above worked fine in Opera 8.54

Any chance of some fixes?

Roman 7. July 2006, 23:37

-Now mail on aim.com is broken on:
Opera 9.01 . Build 383 for Linux. Qt library 3.3.4.
as before but now even on windows build.

-Cleared stuff from error console still reappear after reopening
the console

CheekyBoinc 8. July 2006, 00:38

Here on Ubuntu "Edgy Eft" ...

This build is very fast (Browser and Browsing)! :D

..and the fonts are beautiful!

>>take a look<<

Good Work!

Steve 8. July 2006, 00:57

I haven't checked on this for a while, but it seems 2 b still present.

1. go to
Help -> About Opera

2. search for "pro"

3. note that pro is highlighted in "grey"

note the oddness in the highlighting
on my system:
"pr" is highlighted

6. try to search for "pro"
press F3

note that NOTHING happens


7. now press ESC or click mouse button in the window to get Opera to change focus.

8. search for "pro"

now it works.

on my system:
progr profile\opera
produ Project for use in the Op

are some examples of the odd highlighting

Edgar 8. July 2006, 02:35

Edgar :smile:

Saulo Benigno 8. July 2006, 03:06

what Rijk ? you´re telling me that WILL not fix this bug (212175) on the new 9.01 version ?

my god...

btw, i'm talking about this small bug since the first betas/weeklys...

RS 8. July 2006, 03:54

Is Opera going to fix Middle Click Auto Scroll or do I and some others just need to deal with it? One other thing this is Opera/9.01 (Windows ME; U; en) Build 8518 and started on Build 8473. So you Dev's have a regression table to go by. http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=142810

saito 8. July 2006, 05:01

Several SVG fixes>Hey, would you please provide more details about it?
I'm viewing around SVGs and now tired.

Regression from Opera 8.54
  • Type in first field: bike shop
  • Type in second field: 20852
  • Press Enter
  • Information in panel on the left will never load

Also Opera 8 and 9 can't open this link with some locations:
http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=yp.YA67807547~yp.YA112103542~yp.YA50690871~yp.YA140137751
Why is that? I tried also mask or identify as IE or Mozilla - no good.

Robert Błaut 8. July 2006, 06:14

@quiris, you reported these this morning and a week ago...


No, #215917 was reported over two weeks ago. Additionally Moose notes that it's a known bug: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=144730 So you know about it much longer for sure. The bug reported yesterday is probably related to #215917. Generally it's said to say but table handling or rather error handling in tables are deeply broken in Opera 9 :frown:

rseiler 8. July 2006, 07:02

Sanity check: In v9+ is it possible to add user CSS to Opera's existing Author mode list of 11 (Accessibility layout, etc)? It sure seems like it isn't, at least the right way.

As far as I can tell, the only way to get user CSS working in v9 (or 9.01) is to copy your user CSS file into the Local CSS Files Directory (styles\user dir under your profile). If you do, it'll appear on the menu and work, but will be referenced by the filename only.

The way it's supposed to work: Create a [Local CSS Files] section in opera6.ini (as shown here: http://operawiki.info/OperaUserCSS) and specify the correct path for your file (or any other path where the file resides). You also give it a proper name there.

However, any user CSS listed in [Local CSS Files] in opera6.ini is ignored, unless there's some stupendous trick to it in v9.

Yes, I've ensured "My style sheet" is enabled in author mode (the default now anyway).

Kamikaze321 8. July 2006, 09:11

Hello,

bug 218069 is still there.

Dierk Haasis 8. July 2006, 09:18

Any chance the Flash [v9 and v8] problems will be resolved some day soon?

Example: www.iview-multimedia.com still has the mcentral movie covering up the menu when ID'ing as Opera or Mozilla, works as ID = IE; did work in 8.xx.

Not quite sure - haven't found any example at all - if the interactivity thingy I reported on polls with www.spiegel.de is sorted.

Mark Gillespie 8. July 2006, 09:33

Downloaded files are constantly monitored, even after the downloads are finished. Bug reported: 219323

Aldentev 8. July 2006, 09:47

I've got still troubles with clicking links (not clickable) for example on http://frontpage.fok.nl/, I thought this was fixed a long time ago; do I need to make a clean install?

And second, I notice that the performance of Flash movies is worse in Opera compared to IE of FF for example on

http://www.club-noa.nl/gallery/ or
http://www.club-noa.nl/

Tolque53 8. July 2006, 10:23

Cannot even go to site to change site preferences.

Site loads http://www.writely.com/?action=unsupported_browser,
which does not display anything.

Dierk Haasis 8. July 2006, 11:03

@ Junyor:

Thanks, exchanged the values, now it works. Which weekly will see the correct wording? BTW, like Expiry (Hours) the other one should get an explanatory term, 'Expiry (Days)'; easier for the user.

Petko Vasilev 8. July 2006, 11:11

I think my pet bug is GONE!!!
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/325239#comment1811507
Thank you very much!!! :beer:
p.s. I haven't checked in Windows yet, but it was not platform dependant, so...

p.p.s. Have you noticed that Opera catches some multimedia keyboard buttons when it's focused (and why the hell would a browser catch the multimedia buttons)? On my keyboard it catches "Next", "Prev", "Play/pause" and "Stop", but it doesn't catch "vol+", "vol-" and "mute". This way I can't use the buttons properly when I'm using Opera. This is in Windows, in Linux it doesn't (Linux handles those buttons in a completely different way).

Musikolo 8. July 2006, 11:21

Hello, I detected this bug ( http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=143747&t=1152356644&page=5#comment1637762 ) since Opera 9 was released. However, I reported it just a few days ago. I hope you fix this bug for the next Opera build. I'm sure this a bug of the Opera Javascript core engine because it happens on both Windows and Linux (not sure whether or not on Mac too though). At least taking into account the right number of Javascript bugs notified from other user experiences, I think you should high the fix priority to Javascript bugs. I think Javascript is widely used and if this fails thousands of pages will too.

There is still an old bug (since Opera 8.x) not fixed yet: this page (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=134420) is not rendered suitably. However, I must say that although applet rendering have improved, it needs a deeper revision.

Keep on making this navigator the best of the World!

OperaNoobie 8. July 2006, 11:35

Using Opera 9.01 b8518
clean install using Classic installer on WinXP

I still cannot log into my banking account on their secure page at https://online.elancard.com

The javascript firing button does nothing. Plus, the login fails when using the keyboard instead of javascript button to submit the form.

With previous builds, the JS button was not clickable if JS was turned off globally and on for this site, but at least was clickable when JS was on globally. Even so, Opera was unable to login to the site and I get redirected to a "experiencing technical difficulties" page that DOESN'T happen when using FIREFOX, SEAMONKEY OR IE.

With this build, it doesn't matter if JS is on globally, or on for this site and off globally. It doesn't work. The JS button isn't clickable.

The button uses JS in the link as follows:

"a href='javascript:if (acceptsCookies()) {ValidateAndSubmit(document.form1,"ElanLogonRequest");setCookie("outOfSession","tryLogon");} else {cookieAlert();}'"

Please fix the JS issues in Opera. I really would like to adopt Opera as my primary and ONLY browser, but these problems make that impossible, and I keep having to turn back to Firefox, seamonkey or IE. I hope the developers read these posts.

tjeerd 8. July 2006, 11:46

after upgrading Opera to this build I had again the problem that Opera.jar was removed from the classes directory. Why is this happening so often!!!


b.t.w. I had to use FireFox to submit this comment. Submitting with Opera did not work for some reason
