My OperaWhat would really be better in Opera
Sunday, March 27, 2011 9:05:47 PM
Here is a list of things that I don't find appropriate for Opera :
Right-click on a not found image
Cannot right-click to get properties or to try to reload the image.
Trouble with the address bar
I have troubles as I'm trying to reach localhost:8080 while I'm developing. Sometimes, I'm redirected to google, sometimes, I get the Opera error : "This address type is unknown or unsupported" (this is a translation). That's really annoying and that kind of strange behavior (with the address bar) decided me, a few years ago, to change from Firefox to Opera. I think I'll do the reverse process in a short while ...
Trouble with the address bar 2
I configured my local server in a way it serves a page if the address is 'http://localhost:8080/page' and lists the content of a folder if the address is the same plus a trailing slash (http://localhost:8080/page/'). Opera always takes me to the folder ; I can't reach the page ; that's really too much !
Unsuccessful reload of local pages
Recently, I also encountered a weird trouble : couldn't force the reloading of a local file (localhost:8080/test.css).
Opera kept an old version of the file whereas it worked fine under FF.
Printing under Linux
As mentioned in another post, when I print something using a Xerox networ printer (if this could help) , it's printed twice.
Ctrl+back
Please give me back the old-fashioned ctrl+back shortcut in the address bar (deleting both textand preceding-slash and not stopping before slashes, dashes or dots).
Menu tree for XML browsing
Please add a menu tree to display/hide nodes of XML documents like Firefox or Chrome (when document had no style information.).
Opera blog : update dates
I wish creation AND last update date could be displayed in posts and I also wish I could choose to put or not the last modified post on top of my blog (for major updates) or keep it at its original place. For example, when I add an item in the present post, I think the latter should be placed on top of my blog.
Search within a page
I don't like the dark background (it reminds me the javascript alert) and I don't want a bigger highlight zone than the selected text either because it sometimes masks the surrounding text.
Scrolling inside a textarea
While reaching the edge, the scrolling stops instead of scrolling the parent element.
Opera blog : cannot line break !
If I write "<a>" (with real chevrons, not with html entities) in a post ; I cannot break the line in the rest of the post ...
SOLVED
Ctrl+back
Still stopping before dashes, spaces and dots but not anymore before slashes. What a relief!
Javascript history
Please authorize the history.back() method at least, as a <a> link.
