Managed to get rid of Opera 8's "Bad page rendering occurs with scrolling" in mac, here's a screenshot JRUN took: renderingbug3ck.jpg
I wrote about this in Opera's forum:

The biggest effect was to hide the scroll bars...
I don't know what exactly repaired the problem, but first I unchecked "show scroll bars" and set "reload page when loaded". (before that I gave more cache space but I don't think that matters.) +relaunched. (And of course you need a mouse with a scroll button.)

That made things much better but was still a little bit jumpy.

Then unchecking special effects +relaunched. (after reading this post) : made every thing go away!

I just wanted to explain the "simulate keystrokes" function in Butler:
But first for those who don't know Butler:

Butler is a system menu witch does lots of things, more than just a file & application launcher. It's can be:

1. a system wide bookmark manager with import export capacities


2. a web search with customisable search engines


3. multi clipboards


4. iTunes control


5. show IP


6. a keystrokes simulation

... and can be called by keyboard shortcut, abbreviations or like expose.


By far the best I've seen and totally free! and is so good you just have to send a donation. Once you find out all the features and how useful it is, you just need it, well I do. But I must admit I can't compare with Tigers widgets.(I don't have it!) I've tried konfabulator widgets before and found it too slow for my G4 768ram 400MHz.

Now, for this keystroke simulation, you just type in the keysrtoke combination you normaly would do, you can also choose to give some delay for the process to finish.

For example to change the extension of a selected file in the finder you would customize your Butler keystroke something like this:

Focus in the keysroke window and type:

Entrer - command left - (add some time if you need it) - alt shift right - Z - I - P - Enter

This is a simple example but combining system keystrokes you can do quite complicated things.

Other cool apps Peter Maurer has made:
Desktop Curtain: small utiliy for displaying a black backgroud for taking screenshots.
File List: batch file renamer, and a playlist generator.
Key Codes: displays the key code and key modifier for any key combination.
Service Scrubber: a system service manager!
Textpander: store text and image snippets for quick keystroke access.
Witch: switch and manage widows without viewing/openeing them.
PS: Thank you Peter Maurer. I've followed your creation since Another Launcher.
