It would be really nice if you would reistall the option of having the Widgets tab (as it was in many of the 9.0 Beta versions). Without this, I find I don't use any widgets...

Hi guys, tks for the new build

I have 2 problems:

1. Some builds ago, I stopped beeing able to find the "Home" link, It used to be available when I click the address bar. Now, I click and...nothing happens.

2. I started yesterday to use Opera Mail to manage my POP mail, when I used my mail in "web mail" I had the option to send and e-mail and request a delivery confirmation and a read confirmation. But I can't see the option in Opera mail, is that feature supported ?

Tks

The bug for strange behaviour scrolling (up) over images using the mouse middle button in several forums (Probably Discuz! Forums) is STILL not fixed.


The problem happens in these sites
http://board.phonehk.com/viewthread.php?tid=184049&extra=page%3D1
http://www8.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=1870496&extra=page%3D1
there are more and more examples.

It should be a known bug isn't it? It has happened since Opera9 TP1

However I couldn't find any forum threads about this bug, except one in the Chinese community. The problem is caused by wrong javascript event handling.

http://my.opera.com/chinese/forums/topic.dml?id=145890

There is no such problem in Opera 8.54

Using FC5 with Gnome.
Shared-QT: Ctrl-F makes Opera stop responding to key board.
Static-QT: OK.

the IP cookie bug is still in.

favicon bug -- go to google.com or search in the search bar. click one of the search results. try to bookmark that page. it will have google's favicon instead of the site's icon.

add to personal bar bug -- on next startup, the added bookmarks will appear on the far left of the personal bar and not at the end/far right.

Hover bug still there.
It makes my layout jumping.
BTW, thanks for fixing hover jumping of links on Newegg.com categories page.

Also when you guys going to fix this really old annoyance with black backgrounds on zoom? Opera 10?!
It seems that people actively use zoom this days. So, it's important to fix this bug...

In this and the previous Linux build, if you "open" an image, you have to do "right-click/Save Image" twice for the file dialog box to show up.

@ debian packager,


I can't use the graphical installer anymore to install Opera, I have to force to install as it conflicts with installed package Opera.

Also, and since nearly forever, many pages (including this one!) have to be reloaded at least once before the rendering of the size of images comes out right (in the case of this page, the avatars are either elongated to the entire width of the page, or cascade downwards diagonally). I'm wondering if this will ever be fixed?

> Empty spam puts messages in trash again

could you please stop just CHANGING these things and make then OPTIONS?

i was really happy with having a much lower workload :/

Can you please add Flash support to widgets? plssss, it woulkd be really usefull ))

I actually preferred the spam folder just emptying instead of going to the trash... can we at least get an option?

Windows, XP SP2, Flash 9.x:

- www.iview-multimedia.com, Flash movie still sized wrongly when ID'ing as Opera/Mozilla (not as IE)

- still getting into an ad-frontpage-ad-frontpage-ad ... loop on www.salon.com

- Flash plug-in loading time is abysmally long the first time

Argh, I keep getting logged out. Linux build

Nice... I'll get it downloaded ASAP...

HELP for Windows-1251 page encoding!

Тhe page encoding detection in Opera 9.01 doesn't work in some cases (especially with Windows-1251). Right at beginning missing MEMORY for the manually choice of page encoding!

IMHO with highest priority, when determining the page encoding should be the <META> tag of the concrete file!

With other words:
When UTF-8, read UTF-8.
When Windows-1251, read Window-1251.

Thanks in advance

@Spyman: I don't know if that problem has been reported formally. So I made a bug report: bug-220412.

It seems as though javascript alert() calls no longer popup the alert window. Can anyone else confirm this problem?

www.TV.com may not be very standards compliant (I didn't check) but has major problems in Opera 9.01:

- rendering sometimes works and then totally screws up
- when moving the cursor over the pages elements get white-out
- the interactive Flash elements again don't work (correctly, completely)

All with Win XPSP2, Flash 9

Widgets Event Bug:
#213364 | forum thread: Event bug in widgets - testcase widget

Mac Build still requires that it be run under Rosetta in order for the Universal build of flash 8 to work with web-sites (www.goowy.com as an example). When NOT run under Rosetta Opera will not properly work with flashplayer and will not render the flash 8 content. As noted in an earlier post of mine, no other universal build browser that I'm using needs to be "crippled" and forced to run under Rosetta in order to work properly with flash 8 on my Intel Mac.

This doesn't seem to be an issue with the windows versions.

@all
I think Windows Live Mail is operating alittle more smoothly. Not sure why, I wouldn't thing anything in the changelog would affect it. Anyways, yay, some progress.

Thanks for the new function to erase the private data, because now the favicons sites buttons are not cleaned.

If it appears you've been logged out when you have logged in previously, try refreshing and see if you're still logged out. Irritating issue, but you should be still logged in after a refresh.

A problem with Yahoo! Mail isn't fixed still. I give up.

Nope. I have no problem with alert.
Windows XP Pro, Opera 9.01 build 8533.
Maybe you've checked "stop executing scripts on this page" ?

Darn, still no Google calendars in the osx version, mail and chat seem to work like champs with Mask as Mozilla set, but calendar still chokes.

You wanted reports on regressions so here it is:

Originally posted by "HeeZy":

Yes. This is still here and the bug was introduced in the last weekly (8518 I think it was).

@opera:
Is this a known bug or should I report it?

Still: #215619 #215629

On http://www.buell.com one can look at details from the bikes, which come up when choosing the appropriate category (i.e. 'Ergonomie' or 'Instrumente'). Unfortunately with Opera it does only work for the first choice, after that the image does not change.

Zipped widgets don't play sounds created with Audio() object. For example this one: http://widgets.opera.com/widget/4312

As usual in windows build....

http://www.iwbank.it - I can't log in my web banking

http://mail.tiscali.it - I can't read e-mails even if i can login

Ciao, Igor

P.S.: Calendar in personal area at www.statistiche.it now work correctly again.

Search field now shows dropdown when using the down arrow key.

No it doesn't!

Possible bug in Unix build for i386 Linux, file used to install: opera-9.01-20060713.6-shared-qt.i386-en.rpm

I'm installing on Fedora Core 5 (32-bit), KDE 3.5.3, QT 3.3.6...

Well, this almost sums it up by itself. I've drawn red circles around all of the points of interest in the screenshot (sorry about the size, my laptop is a 16:10 widescreen).

When Opera starts, I get a nasty error about plugins (which you can see in the screenshot). It says it can't find a file that should have been installed with Opera (circled in screenshot). As you can see in the screenshot (Konqueror is browsing the directory this plugin file is supposedly missing from, in the lower left of the screenshot) the file is more than present.

Now, I've tried deleting preferences files from my .opera directory (including opera6.ini), and I've deleted the plugin files that Opera installs in it's plugin directory (/usr/lib/opera/plugins), and then erasing Opera using rpm --erase opera and doing a full reinstall, as you can see in the screenshot (I've done it several times, trying a different set of things each time), and I still get the same error message.

So, what do you guys think? Could it be a bug, or just some really bad luck on my part?

@geekboy2000: Flash sites like http://www.homestarrunner.com/ work fine for me in 9.01 on OS X.

Search field now shows dropdown when using the down arrow key.

That works, but I cannot paste from notes using the down arrow key anymore :-(

I reported the bug: bug-220422.

@Gort, # 14. July 2006, 20:00:00,

hmm haven't been logged out anymore.

Hey!

I found a bug that can be reproduced:

go to www.sport.de (a german sports-site), wait for the site to load completely.
Then right-click anywhere and select the "block content" menu ---> Opera crashes at that point!

Bye,
Cobold03

As of 9.01, when hovering over a link, there is no longer any hover-over text. Whatever I check in settings, I can only get a status bar to come up while a page is loading -- so no info that way either. Problem: No way to see what a link is without looking at the html source, or clicking it to see where it takes you. Bad.

Still problems with saving images. I'm not sure how to explain this, but I'll give it a try.

I need to download a lot of pictures in my job and sometimes save some images twice in a different locations. Here's what's wrong: I click image, it loads, I click save image and I get a save as dialog. Everything is fine up to now, but here's when problems start. After I have saved my picture I click save image again and Opera starts to load the whole image again. If I save image before it has completely loaded it will result corrupted image on my hard drive. Even if I choose to not save it again it will still reload my picture again. It doesn't even use cache for it! Also, if I close that image tab and open it again, it will also load image all over again as if it never existed in cache in the first place.

There is also one more problem with saving images. I usually click many images with my third mouse button and let them all load at their own tabs and save them as soon as some of them finishes. Until now I could have easily done this, but now Opera won't give me save as dialog until every last image has fully loaded. Why the heck is it behaving like this? There is no reason why I can't save the ones that are already fully loaded? Combine this bug with the other that I just explained in the beginning of my post and you really can't use Opera if you need to use saving image feature often. This isn't funny anymore and I probably will discontinue using Opera if this isn't fixed in Opera 9.01. I'm sure that these bugs are annoying others too. All this used to work just fine in 9.0 Beta2 and then everything that had anything to do with saving images suddendly broke up.

Also this build seems to crash randomly and work really really slowly. All actions lag really bad. Last build did crash too, but at least it didn't lag this much.

Plese fix these problems

@Cobold03

LOL, i tried to do "block content" here in this blog and my opera crashed immediatly, so you dont need to visit www.sport.de

Both works for me: When I enable status bar it is always shown and I can see the link destination. When I disable the statusbar the destination is shown in the tooltip.

Did you try default Toolbar Setup?

WinXP, dirty install

Since the final build i keep on getting network problems "Couldn't connect blah blah network blah ..."

works suddenly on a refresh. This happens on random sites. I'm using the linux version.

Have the wikipedia issue as well.

@Cobold03

Ok, this "block content" bug isnt always reproducable, at least here in this blog. It crashes mostly for me if i mark some text and then do "block content", but dunno

My first comment. Been with Opera since the start, love to watch the baby grow.
This page does not work in Opera, works fine in IE:
http://www.bergenskart.no/bergen/index.jsp
There is a problem with search in emails, the engine does not find certain emails. It seems a few of the emails are not searchable, even if they come from the same sender within a short timeframe. Applies to all search options. Can't find a pattern.
Kind regards,
Svein

Tried Block Content on several sites, with or without marking text, and can't get the latest Opera weekly to crash.

Linux build 387, .6, shared; Mandriva 2006.0, KDE 3.4.2.

Re: Status bar

Hmm, okay, when I turn off status bar, then the hover text is back, I can see the link that way.

But, when status bar is on... well, it goes into hiding. Seems only to pop up when I am actually in the customize toolbars dialogue (yes, "Show only when needed" is unchecked). Maybe my toolbar settings corrupt. But I like 'em. Stubborn me.

P.S. A question, this has been true in Opera at least since 6: Why doesn't "alt" text appear when hovering over links or images? Seems best of all worlds would be a setting to turn that on or off -- choosing, if desired, to put link info into the status bar (a status bar that doesn't go into hiding, that is, dagnabbit).

P.S.S. Do other people ever get the double ad banner display sometimes, when gif anim turned off? I actually don't remember seeing it in a few days, so maybe it's been fixed.

Man, before saying "this site doesn't work" first check the site to see if it validates, and then check the JavaScript. Only then do a report.

Some "web designers"... bleh, actually use Front Page or some other kind of WYSIWYG that adds lots of unneeded code and stupid bugs everywhere.

@mkstevo

Sorry if I miss understood, but if you are new to Mac, try playing with the Font Smoothing settings at the bottom of the Appearance preference window under System Preferences.

Just a thought.
