How should Opera work with this JavaScript?
/---
if( _isOpera ) {
// opera 7.6pr1's support of XMLHttpRequest still buggy
// - no setRequestHeader()
// - Content-Length: 0
// deactivate XMLHttpRequest
XML_Request.builtin = false;
// use iframes instead, if allowed by configuration
XML_Request.prototype.iframes = XML_Request.prototype.iframes || 1;
}
---/

We also have a discussion my German forum. IMHO that's not a bug in Opera.

Thanks you for ascribing this to me, although I cannot remember doing it. Can't remember who actually reported it but I can now confirm that it is impossible to log-in.
My - usual - report is the Roger Ebert one, which, BTW, still only shows me as logged-in after I reload the frontpage (I guess there is other sites, too).
As for the Salon.com absurdities, I am investigating further but are at a loss. JFI: I uninstalled Opera, installed the current build afresh, went to Salon and everything worked fine. I then copied over my plug-ins and profile folder (didn't want to loose my precious settings, widgets etc.). Went to Salon, loop problem. I then opened every editable file in TextPad, deleted every hint of Salon in them. Went to the Website, didn't work, looped.
If someone has an idea ...

Probably first ever.. I just had to get a first some time and this is the closest ive ever been okay.
im not downloading this build, too little has changed for me to waste my precious South African bandwidth.
But nice work in general.
IMO Opera 9.01 should have been Opera 9 final. You guys still would have been WAY ahead of the new FF or IE.

create a keyboard or mouse shortcut with the following definition: Enable Plugins | Disable Plugins
caveat: you'll need to reload the page for the change to take effect.

What a shame that Russian community (which BTW has pretty equal percentage Opera users and FF users, which is rare situation) has problems with major news site in Russia.
P.S. to quick refresh of page use [*] button on the numeric keypad.

im having a problem, i dont know if somebody else here use nzb indexing sites, like binage.com. nzb is a xml file with .nzb extension and the file is opened with a newsreader (newsbin, newsleecher,...). i configured on Preferences/Transfer the file types and i configured the mime type text/xml as "nzb,xml" but i wanted to configure "text\xml" with extension xml to be opened with opera and "text\xml" with nzb extension to be opened with newsleecher. i did not found any way to do that, so if somebody could help me out i will be very glad.

Download problem: i'm downloading Panda antivirus platinum 2007 beta but if i stop the download process, when i restart it, Opera restart at the beginning (i have downloaded 10 Mb and now i have to redownload all 43.9 Mb).
Thank you.

I don't think they'll "fix" those as long as you can "fix" them yourself.
Pandora doesn't seem to work on windows either.
@MartinezZ: you can also disable/enable flash using F12 then "Enable plugins". A reload is required though.
And yes, the cookie bug (not sending cookies to the server the first time - refresh needed) is still here and it's a regression from final. Please fix this before releasing 9.01.
@igorditerni: the download starting from the beginning might be because the site doesn't support resume function. If that's the case, no download manager will be able to resume it, so you can test this easily.

Not sure how to reproduce, because when I click the URL, then drag it to my bar, it receives the favicon properly. *shrugs*
Again some notes on the spellchecker interface;
It would be helpful if Opera could scroll the input field to focus on the word that is being highlighted. Sometimes I have a lot of text in a text area and can't see the word because Opera doesn't allow me to scroll the text area. The spell checker steals focus and has to be closed in order to be able to scroll the textfield.
For example if you have a misspelled word in the top of your message and you're browsing the last part, you wouldn't be able to see the misspelled word if you already started spell checking.
Furthermore, the misspelled word is to be replaced with the misspelled word by default. Wouldn't it make more sense to give the replace input field value the first suggested word from the list?
This would certainly speed things up a little since you currently have to click the suggested correction and then click replace. (sometimes accidentally clicking the sorting header, making it even more slower to use. Why can you sort that list anyway?)
Finally, would it be possible to integrate the spell checker in a panel instead of a dialog? The first thing I do when I open the spell checker is move it out of the way because it almost always covers the text I just wrote.

As usual, some Flash game still slow... (AMD Athlon XP 2400+ & XP Pro SP1)

Add a site specific style sheet with the following
.lenta {overflow: visible !important;}syplex # Tuesday, July 25, 2006 12:30:26 AM
Opera sets the User Pref->History Navigation Mode to "1" but it should be "3". I can't find anywhere other than in opera:config/opera6.ini to set this and since I have seen many people asking for this I thought I'd post here.
This is a BIG feature for opera, and should be set to the old mode by default. Perhaps there could be some kind of "compatibility" mode and a "fast" mode that could alternate between this and other features. But seriously, shouldn't Fast-back be enabled by default?!
Non-Tropponon-troppo # Tuesday, July 25, 2006 12:32:34 AM
You can also try this modified bookmarklet - which basically opens a window first, then "clicks" the URL for you:
javascript:(function(){ var w = window.open(); w.document.write('link');w.document.links[0].click();})()
syplex: 1 is not disabled - it is compatibility mode which enables it unless a heuristic determines it is needed. The heuristic is not always right. You can use override.ini to set it on a site-by-site basis

When entering data in a form on a page with a meta-refresh set, when the page refreshes ALL of the form content is gone and not saved anywhere. I just had this happen WHILE I WAS TYPING in the form! I think this should probably be saved in the history so I can hit BACK and have all of my typed-in content available.

Hmm... something funny going on here... in fit to width content navigated by separate scrollbar is not shown... Open/close panel, or reduce page to ie. 90% zoom, displays that missing content... ???... (btw. same as in 8542)

Here is an example:
Notice how the last instance of "new" shows up correctly? It is on a line by itself without any other hits!

"Strange! My google adsense report > overview > adsense for content > top channels dropdown window immediately closes itself when clicked open. It should have stayed open until clicked again."
Have to revert once more time to 8533

100% CPU usage on virtually everything I do in Opera, unusable for everyday usage. Still the problem with incredibly slow startup speed, especially with big bookmarks and urlfilter.ini. Cutting and pasting bookmarks trees needs ages, high risk of data loss 'cause still no backups of the most important files are done.
What have I done to deserve my favourite browser turning into THAT, a resource hog like A-crap-at Reader 6?
Please, dear Opera Software, make your browser SHAREWARE again and pay your developers.

NTLM is still a problem. Not https sites do crash, but opera keeps downloading the page and just continues, but never renders a page. Check https://mail.yahoo.com.
Also table width corruption bug still seems to be there. (May be column width adjustments bug.)
I do not see anything for following site.
in.finance.yahoo.com
(in auther mode, you do not see anything. But in user mdoe, you can see that a table should be there) This bug has been there since 8482 and bug report was filed. Nothing has happened since thennn!!!!!!!!!!!!. See my posts.)

thanks for all the work!
Unfortunately the "freeze" problem still exists.
After surfing a couple of sites Opera freezes for ~20sec (i.e. not responding).
The same issue has been reported by user "tidester".
To reproduce, do the following:
go to "www.sport1.de", click on a few links to open new tabs
and wait a little -> after a few seconds it freezes.
Notice that the "freeze" does not happen in build 8460.
