Opera Dragonfly 1.1 release candidate 1

, ,

We have just released the release candidate of Opera Dragonfly 1.1 on the cutting-edge (coming soon) and experimental paths. This will be the build that will be pushed to the default path unless we find any P1 bugs during the final testing and cooling down phase. Work will then switch to feature development on Opera Dragonfly 1.2, including features such as a profiler and collapsing to shorthands in the CSS Inspector.

New features and enhancements since the last snapshot

The search feature in the Resource Inspector has been upgraded to match the search field in the DOM Inspector and JavaScript debugger. This includes the navigation buttons and badge to highlight the current and total matches. The search has also been removed from resource types that do not have textual content, such as fonts and images.

The UI continues its makeover and refinement. The toolbars have lost their high gloss look, making them blend better with the rest of the UI. The buttons have been improved so they look like they have been engraved into the toolbar. The general smoked glass overlay style has been tweaked and polished to give it better contrast and emphasis, and the syntax highlighting for the Console has been improved.

Along with those changes, a large number of bugs have been fixed, including all P1 bugs targeted at this release.

I played with this version for a while and it looks very promising. Only two problems I found are:

1) When you click on this link (after lang. change in settings):

opera:config appears in place of dragonfly. It should imo open in new tab.

2) The "Cancel Remote Debug" button has wrong background (or perhaps wrong text color). In both cases the text is nearly not readable:

Both should be very easy to fix so you could do it before final. On the other hand none of them is very serious. smile

I can't close inline html editing (double click on DOM node element to enter code edition, I can't close it, I can't end editing.)

I can't confirm that. When I click somewhere else it ends the editing.

Hmm I rebooted Opera and it seems to be working now.

Very nice, I only dislike the big bars in the CSS panel:

I cannot reproduce this on windows with Opera 11.50 or 12. Are you running Linux?

I use Win 7/Win XP ... but the problem is not in OS. I've realized that I have this option:
opera:config#UserPrefs|IgnoreTarget
turned on on my computer and also on my laptop.

I have no idea how much people use this option, but anyway if you want to fix it you should probably make this option not working in Dragonfly or at least use javascript open method to open new tab instead of target attribute.

I just wish I could copy text via the context menu.

Bug:
I don't know how it happens but just only shows itself in sub pages.
I'm using build 1042 with Windows Standard skin.

I liked to have that turned on, too, but sadly Opera has just too many bugs concerning that feature. Often stuff is simply blocked by the popup blocker for no reason...

Known bug in Opera 12. Also appears often in Twitter. (Probably) fixed internal internally, though...
