I'm installing the Windows MSI on Windows 2000 SP4 as a restricted user.

I started 3 builds ago, and when I choose update in the new installer Opera is displayed more than once in the "Add/remove programs" section in Windows. Now it is there 3 times.

Martinmax17 Friday, July 28, 2006 2:23:37 PM

I notised that after upgrading to Opera 9 my Mail folder start growing very fast! (about 20MB in a week). I have used Opera 8 M2 on my work for 1.5 year and for this period it growed to 210MB. I upgraded to Opera 9 about 1.5 months ago and now my Mail folder contains 296MB...

FataL Friday, July 28, 2006 3:11:23 PM

Yeees!!! up
NTLM authorization now works for me! BIG thanks to all Opera devs. Great work!

pottsau Friday, July 28, 2006 3:12:08 PM

I already mentioned earlier, that search with ',' and ';' doesn't behave as it would be intuitive, i.e. if a link is marked i can click enter and it goes to the page. It works for example on this page, but it doesn't on for example http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/ , maybe because of the frames??? But for normal text in general, the marking of the current search result doesn't seem to be handled as if i would mark it myself. Quite confusing sometimes.

The search on sites with frames is also less than optimal as i can't choose the frame where i search, it always starts in the first frame and i have to cycle through all results in that frame before getting to the next :-( especially annoying on the java api site.

Dierk HaasisEvo2Me Friday, July 28, 2006 3:16:48 PM

Anybody else having trouble signing in (manually as well as automatically with a persistent cookie) to Amazaon sites?

Ravindran NavaneethanRavindran Friday, July 28, 2006 3:17:37 PM

Great! The NTLM in this build is working better.

But I'm still having one problem.

Submitting a form in NTLM pages are still not working. It's giving me an error "Bad Request (Invalid Verb)".

Dierk HaasisEvo2Me Friday, July 28, 2006 3:22:09 PM

Will www.iview-multimedia.com ever look correct again? Or do I have to ID as IE - on a Microsoft site of all places*?

I'd like to promote Opera by ID'ing as Opera, but if it hinders me from using sites ...



*Only recently has iView been taken over by MS, the site design is not particularly oriented towards closing out other browser tan IE.

Twilo Friday, July 28, 2006 3:27:30 PM

thanks for Opera

Alexis DeveriaFyrd Friday, July 28, 2006 3:43:32 PM

Nice, but the vital Regression Bug #219267 still has not been fixed.

Really, I'd like to know how you developers manage to sleep at night knowing full well that this issue has reduced the efficiency of my web browsing by approximately 0.0031%.

It's a damn shame I tell you.

user52 Friday, July 28, 2006 3:54:31 PM


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 other users :-(

It seems to happen on arbitrary web sites, after a few minutes of usage.

Notice that the "freeze" does not happen in build 8460.



And one enhancement request:
would it be possible to let the user adjust the size of the search field (on the right of the address bar) ?

When using a wide screen monitor the current search field is much too narrow. It would be great to have an user-adjustable width (i.e, just by dragging the separator).

thanks!

partybreaker Friday, July 28, 2006 4:19:59 PM

Can u please fix the bug on this site http://www.motor.de/specials_win/39/Potato and the online Radio on the same site http://www.motor.de/radio when u click on <Motor Fm Player> is also not working propetly (no sound) , its a some kind of FLASH radio . BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, July 28, 2006 4:21:27 PM

Gmail's Gtalk is not displaying at all really for me in this build even when masked as mozilla. Screenshot...
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/4917/gmailmy6.png

Also in that image, the alignment is off which causes the gtalk part (when it is working) to be thinner than it should be and the Status box cannot even display all of the text that it needs to. Example it says something like "Set Status He" and the "re" gets cut off cause it isn't wide enough.

I've mentioned these bugs several times now, so I just reported them as bugs. The gtalk not displaying bug is "bug-222610 bugs.opera.com" and the alignment bug is "bug-222611 bugs.opera.com".

Can anyone tell me...has the flickering icon bug been reported yet? I don't want to duplicate the bug report, but if it hasn't been filed yet I'll file one. It bothers me that the icons flicker in the address bar and the tab and also that the cursor changes from a hand on the hyperlink images to a pointer on the hyperlink images. My Opera visitor won't know if it is a hyperlink or just a neat animation when they mouse over.

EDIT:
Here is a test page for the flickering icon bug, I will leave it up on my server for 2 weeks or so as an example...

...any comments please contact me.

Dustin WilsonKhadgar Friday, July 28, 2006 4:23:21 PM

up Thanks for the update! The past weeklies have been quite stable on the Mac. Less crashes. That's always a good thing. I know many updates are dedicated towards fixing some particular things, but these bugs are quite important to Mac users. Just whenever you guys get to them. It's great having my favorite browser on my Mac. bigsmile

Lazy Notifications bug 222454
[Window Skin] bug 222460
Popup Copy Image bug 222462
Execute program bug 222484

Thanks a bunch, guys!

SteveKong Friday, July 28, 2006 4:23:59 PM

The MSI-Version still ships a broken search.ini (two entries no. 31; Bug #221775).

Huge memory consumption in this build. Windows XP.

Empty start(no pages loaded) ~80 mb
8 tabs opened(incl, digg.com, desktopteam, cgtalk,warp2search....) with commercial blocked ~110mb of RAM + ~120 mb of virtual memory.

OUCH!!!

More than double the memory consumption than previous build.

Dierk HaasisEvo2Me Friday, July 28, 2006 6:14:29 PM

Several issues:

1. I am unable to persistently log in to Amazon sites (de, com, co.uk); the British site doesn't log me in at all. When logged in to Germany or the US I have to do it again the next visit (if Opera had been closed in between.

2. I have the status bar on top just under my toolbar. I use Dynamic Spacers (originally two, just tried three: no change) to get the URL shown there over to the right. Until the last build it worked, with this buzild the URL is shown right after the first spacer. Works a little better with on DS, the URL is than shown starting in the middle.

3. When starting Opera I get an error:
[Edit]
[Image removed]
This error was a strange one in so far as Opera decided to build a message base and index files although M2 has never been used by me. No idea why it did that.
[Edit]

Sin Jeong-huntypingcat Friday, July 28, 2006 6:15:39 PM

Opera surely beats FireFox. What the heck is all the buzzes about FireFox?
Expecting x64 version...

_x86_ Friday, July 28, 2006 6:34:42 PM

still is to *beep* when trying to save an image via save image...
why does 9.0x reload the image from the server and not from the cache like opera til 8.54 did? even switching to offline mode doesnt help.
what about a bit more of: less features but more reliability (like opera 5 and 6, since 7 its getting down from "final" to final")?

Glushkov Ivangli Friday, July 28, 2006 6:43:37 PM

How should i upgrade my opera from previous beta to this one?
My mail folder is about 120Mb.
When i had made install (over my old beta), my opera became inaccessible.
Then i made uninstall and installed it again.
It's useless.
Now it doesn't response to me.

Version 9.01
Build 8552
Platform Win32
System Windows XP
Java Java not installed
XHTML+Voice Plug-in not loaded

Does it rebuild any mail-index-tables?


upd: i change default mail folder in options to non-existed one, and opera is working!

upd2: It's OK now. Probably during uninstalling folder mail/index was deleted. I found many links to files in that folder. So i created it 'by hands'. That's the answer.

Sebastian Wernerleartist Friday, July 28, 2006 6:52:50 PM

Opera 9 has some serious rendering failures using box-sizing: border-box. We have created some tests. I hope you have some time to fix this in further versions.

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, July 28, 2006 7:11:07 PM

I have a suggestion for these forums...
Why don't we have an option with the posting textarea that says some thing like...

This message is:
(o) Stating a Bug and it's effects
(o) Replying to a previous post about a bug
(o) Other. (random message)

...and color code these specific posts according to their type so that when we read thru the posts we can find where people state bugs faster and then find bug responses and skip over the unimportant posts. I just feel like some bug reports on here get looked over sometimes and never seen, especially if it is reported on the 1st or 2nd page (chaotic pages, lol).

The empty space above the header in yahoo mail persists. Considering the popularity of the site, try implementing a site specific fix, may be.

Is the transfer 'stopped' bug still alive ?

bug-212175 bugs.opera.com

I dunno, don´t want to download to see it again...

Kenneth Crudupkennycrudup Friday, July 28, 2006 7:53:35 PM

I guess I'll have to file a bug report to get the "Open Image/Save Image" bug fixed, this is three builds in a row with this regression.

cedricpc Friday, July 28, 2006 7:56:38 PM

Hi...

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

Kyle Bakerkyleabaker Friday, July 28, 2006 8:16:26 PM

@saulob
The transfer stop bug seems to be fixed to me. I tested a couple fo downloads and everything went well.

@kennycrudup
i'm not experiencing that problem, but if you've had it for 3 builds now it'd be a good idea to file a bug report. post the number here when you file it tho.
