One thing I'm glad about is that the 10.60b1 has fixed the issue I had in 10.50 on Windows 7 where every tab was treated like a Window by the Windows 7 taskbar, meaning it was a pain in the arse to use after opening a second tab, let alone the twelve I'd typically have open at any one time. Was this a common issue for anyone else or is it a peculiarity of my machine (apologies if people were discussing this pages ago but I skipped the 30 or so pages of this thread since last time I read it)?

Blodskur posted:Internet Explorer has the same window/tab thing as default, which Opera tried out and I don't think many people really liked it. That could be disabled in opera:config, which was the first thing I usually changed. It can now be toggled on and off directly in the tab options now, though. Ah yes, it is in opera:config, cheers! I couldn't tell if it was a bug (since can anyone really find this useful?) so I never bothered to look beyond the normal preferences menus. Still, it would be nice if they made the option to disable it available in the normal preferences menu when they first release this feature, instead of in the subsequent beta releases. All's well that ends well, though, I guess, at least it is disable-able.

To be fair the QuickTime bug may actually be an issue on QT's end. Opera can only do so much to fix buggy third-party software.

kapalama posted:While this may well be true (God knows, Apple hides its bugs and won't open its specs), The QuickTIme controls worked in everything previous to the 10.0 line of Opera, and works in every other browser. Without meaning to be a dick, every other browser? Or just the common popular browsers for which a lot of popular web software will have kludges in place to prevent errors with? Opera is the browser that often doesn't have specific workarounds in some software/sites because it doesn't feel the love.

Everything has bugs; we just talk about issues in case someone can help us out with them. On that note, Opvard (a Q&A) told me that Windows 7 Jump Lists have been available since Opera 10.50, however I've never seen a single one (and personally lamented their lack even though I never use them). Anyone know why they aren't appearing? A glance through opera:config shows nothing.

Lakitu7 posted:It was added before 10.5 in one of the weeklies and then disabled by default before release because everyone hated it. You're the second person to mention this, but it's Jump Lists not Thumbnails. The Thumbnails pissed me off and I disabled them, and I tested to see if reactivating them solved the Jump List issue, but it didn't.

Hah, last time I checked this thread was before Version 11.00 was released. Something that's been bothering me for the longest time in Opera is the inability to drag-and-drop images. Like, in Chrome of Firefox clicking and dragging an image to a folder will save it, but in Opera I always have to Save As and DirectFolders it, which is getting annoying - sometimes I open the image in a new tab (in Opera) and then use Opera's built in Open in -> Google Chrome because that's faster. Is it just a simple option that I've blindly missed?

How do you change the search method of the Context Menu's Dictionary feature? Currently it does Marriam-Webster's dictionary or whatever it's called but I actually find it's a very lovely dictionary (I've found it often omits definitions and just generally seems out of date to the point where dictionary.com often leave it out of results), but I'd rather put in a dictionary aggregation site like dictionary.com or wiktionary. Is this possible? I can't seem to find anything to suggest it in opera:config and my Search Engines tab of the options window doesn't even have M-W in it.

Unless someone has an automatic suggestion, if I occasionally want to remind myself of a forgotten wand password I use this little power button which pops up a little window where you can copy and paste your stored password. vvvvv well there we go, I guess I'm going to go sit on the shelf alongside the other useless posters

I'm getting some strange instability on 11.01, but I'm not sure if it's Opera's fault per se - but whenever I leave the computer alone for more than an hour or two Opera freezes when I try to do anything with it, and then subsequently refuses to die. I had to restart in order to get it working again. That said, it's only happened three times and the only thing that was definitely the same in all three instances was have a YouTube video open (but paused), a PDF open and a bunch of normal tabs, and two of those times the process did eventually die. I wonder if it's a memory issue or just something going fundamentally wrong on my machine alone.

Maxwell Adams posted:It does seem pretty nice though. Is it just me, or is RAM usage way the hell down? I've found it's bumped up about 50% on start-up in terms of RAM usage (~90 to ~140) compared to when I first started using Version 11. If you mean after any period of usage it's pretty much the same, not that I really see a standard amount used for any particular session.

Upgrading to 11.50 removed several of the address bar search engines - I tried to Wikipedia-search something and found everything except Google and Bing had been removed. Was Bing even a search engine in previous versions? Also Encyclopedia search when right-clicking has become a Google search as well. I'm going to assume this is a bug or that it's now user-definable.

I know i could just use firefox or chrome as my 'gay thug browser' so to speak but it'd be much more convenient to just use opera for everything. Any advice on troubleshooting the problem? Works fine for me? Are you using the latest version of Opera and not using any strange add-ons? I'll set pissflaps on you if this is a joke about Opera users being gay.

Once I saw that I could get it (A while back) I swapped over to it and haven't touched Safari since (I'm not too saavy with iOS and jailbreaking). Opera Mini is the best browser on any mobile device. Doesn't need to be in the iOS Megathread but suggesting it to them would be a benefit.

The upgrade from 11.50 to 11.51 didn't show any install dialog, just closed Opera after prompting about the update and restarted upgraded to 11.51. Yeah I think that was introduced with Version 11 - don't hold me to that, though.

naptalan posted:At work I use Firefox and I've noticed it has two amazing features in the context menu which Opera is missing: highlighting text and googling it in a new tab, and opening non-hyperlinked URLs in a new tab. Opera has both of these, I think, but they automatically open in the same tab. Should be Settings -> Preferences -> Advances -> Tabs -> uncheck Reuse Current Tab Mostly because I've always had them open in a new tab when I use either option from the context menu. There is also shift-clicking, but that's a pain in the arse.

Wow, it's really weird but using the current snapshot it literally slows down as I scroll over your post. Like I double checked this and I can scroll up and down the page elsewhere freely but every time, the second your avatar is about to appear it starts chugging. It can do the rest of the page fine, though. Are... are you cursed?

1351x64 has been pretty stable for me, it uses twice the amount of RAM that 11.x uses (~300k instead of ~150k) in general, but that amount doesn't seem to go up significantly even if I open a bunch of tabs / leave it open for days at a time. The only crash I've had so far was pulling a tab out of a window to make a new one, YouTube vids have been fine for me, guess I'd better hold my fingers crossed it stays that way. On the plus side the slowdown over Heresiarch's post has gone, too, hopefully that was just a strange coincidence.

Scrolling in this new release (x64) seems a lot smoother, at least - with HWA/WebGL enabled. And the memory usage is back down to 11.6x levels instead of the double that it was before. Cheer up Lakitu7 maybe this one won't be so tragic.

Jumping back a few days, it seems 11.64 needed to add a defence for allowing arbitrary code execution via the URL. Nasty stuff, although the likelihood of encountering this specific exploit would be super low in the first place. My favourite Opera Next bug is that if I check for updates and there aren't any, the "Okay" button doesn't close the pop-up window no matter how many times you click it.

Maybe I'm just lucky but the past week's snapshots have been pretty stable for me, in fact the only crash I've encountered was when the auto-updater tried to shut Opera Next down, which was a bizarre time for it to happen. Maybe try again, Heresiarch?

Try the bug report wizard, even if it's not the best solution.Clyde Radcliffe posted:I've never had that happen before, but now watching a Youtube video in a new window fullscreened on my second monitor seems to crash the browser completely about 50% of the time. It doesn't quite work out as well in terms of h.264 not being part of Opera's HTML5 implementation, but you can opt in to HTML5 on YouTube, which should mitigate some of the problems with Flash crashing.

LooKMaN posted:I'm not using HWA or WebGL though. Are there any real benefits to using either? I tried HWA but i didn't like how it changed the font rendering. I've been using HWA without any problems too, but from what I hear it's dependant on your graphics card. For reference I'm using a Radeon HD 6800 series on the latest drivers with the x64 12 previews and final release, which has been stable in Opera (although the current drivers comically enough cause blue screens if Windows Update requires a restart and you ask it to wait a bit). I've activated WebGL and will see if there's any change in stability.

Just as a minor update, activating WebGL didn't seem to have any effect on stability (or performance for that matter), so if you're desperate to show off how much more modern you can make your browser, I don't see any danger in activating it. In crash news, only one "crash" over the past few weeks, which was the out-of-process-plugin, meaning I could kill that without losing my other tabs, and it happened more because I had completely pushed my RAM over its limit than Opera's fault. Again, though, what works for me may well be broken as poo poo for others, but it's not all bad reports!

I'm more than happy to blame Adobe for that particular issue, to be fair. Although it's not about Opera, this site refers to some of the horrific bugs Adobe's flash-based UIs encounter.
