"open in background tab"

That's what was selected by default with me. Didn't help. I still can't get current tab, first middle clicked link, second middle clicked link and third middle clicked link like I do in Internet Explorer 7. I can only get either current tab, third middle clicked link, second middle clicked link and first middle clicked link if I have "open new tab next to active" enabled, or if I have it disabled I'll get first middle clicked link, second middle clicked link and third middle clicked link except they'll be at the end of the row of tabs.

whats wrong with opera mouse gesture tab scrolling?

If you're talking about holding the right mouse button and using the scrollwheel, I honestly forgot about that since I don't use it much, if ever.

/boggle.

its the single greatest mouse gesture there is. A part of me dies every time I see someone with 8 firefox WINDOWS open, manually clicking in between each of them AND clicking on back/forward buttons instead of using mouse side buttons or the freaking backspace key (on a laptop anyway).

also, nerd rage at people who don't use ctrl-tab and ctrl-t, for laptops.

Know any way to put it in tab order instead of MRU? That's why I don't use it.

Opera has stopped me installing the touchpad drivers on my Eee, as the default W7 ones allow me to three-finger swipe to do gestures and the Elantech ones don't. Left for back, right for forward, down for close, up for refresh. Eventually I'll remap all the other hotkeys I use even infrequently to various up/down/up combos and my need for a keyboard will be non-existent. Bliss.

Yeah, I just switched around the tab settings. I have it so that it won't show the list when I use it and I'm starting to like it a whole lot more now.

This pretty much describes my parents. They were on IE 6 for the longest time and were used to having multiple windows open (which seems to be the root-cause of the whole multiple windows thing). Then they got a new Vista laptop and had to understand IE 7's tabs. I think my mom has it better than my dad does at this point, since she has it set to open up 5 tabs everytime IE 7 and now IE 8 opens. I've been personally trying to push them over to Chrome but no luck so far.

Has anyone else noticed that websites will often get confused about which country you're browsing from if you visit the site using Opera?

For example, even though I'm in the U.S., Microsoft's Bing search engine thinks that I'm browsing from China, eBay thinks I'm browsing from somewhere in Europe, and MegaUpload thinks that I'm browsing from Germany.

Meanwhile, none of this confusion occurs if I'm using, say, Safari on the same computer with the same IP address.

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue:

I run into trouble when I click on a dropdown menu/box, and then hit a key to select an item, and then hit Enter to activate it. The link/option doesn't "activate" correctly.

For example, when I use the forums dropdown box at the bottom of a page, I click the dropdown menu where it says "Please select one:"

When I press "U" for User Control Panel, the correct item is selected. However, when I hit Enter, it takes me to an invalid forum. It's most annoying when I'm entering my address at online stores, and I'm using the dropdown menu to select my state.

Does anyone else have this problem with Opera 10 beta (or alpha)? I had the same problem in alpha but I was hoping they'd fix it in beta.

Do you have Turbo on? I'm just guessing but that would be a logical cause of issues like this.

Holy crap. I noticed the locale swap for Bing and eBay but I thought right up until the very moment I read this that MegaUpload was a German file-hosting site. I feel like such an internet philistine now.

With Firefox I have an addon called Scrollbar Anywhere (Hold the right-mouse button and move the mouse to scroll). By default in Opera you can click the middle mouse button and it's similar, but feels floaty. With Scrollbar Anywhere it's like you're gripping the page and it's satisfying. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and how to create that in Opera with a mouse gesture or something?

Ask me about being too much of a sperging idiot to understand what resisting arrest means.
I'm wanting to like Opera enough to use it regularly, but I'm having problems with scrolling. It's scrolling twice as many lines per scroll as is listed in the Mouse settings in Control Panel. As in, if it's set to scroll 3 lines, Opera scrolls 6. Meanwhile, Firefox scrolls 3 like it's supposed to.

Is there any hidden setting for this? I'm using the 10 beta by the way. And no Logitech SetPoint or anything like that, just the regular old Mouse settings in Control Panel.

Have you set Opera to prefer sites to show in your language? I would suppose that English is the standard, so why it would be confused is beyond me, but it's something to try.

You should be able to do that with ctrl+alt+drag. Honestly though, it'd be better to get used to opera's middle-click scroll since it really doesn't suck like firefox's.

I have a slightly strange issue: When I scroll through a page (with mouse wheel, arrow button, or space bar, etc), I notice a faint sound through my speakers. The sound occurs whether I have it connected via HDMI (to my TV monitor) or via a stereo mini-plug cable (to external speakers). I've found that when I turn off smooth scrolling it goes away. Firefox and IE don't give me this sound, either with or without smooth scrolling.

I'm using Opera 10 beta on Windows XP (however, it also occurred with 10 alpha).

I haven't been able to test it on another computer, but I'm curious whether anyone else has noticed this.

Open your sound card mixer and mute anything you're not currently using, even if you don't have one: e.g. mic, cd, aux, line-in, any tv tuners, etc. Hope that it goes away. If not, I think it's just noisy hardware and you live with it or buy new hardware. I used to have this on one laptop. I mostly just grew to enjoy it, but I did eventually find that muting the tv card audio made it like 10% its original strength.

I muted it and the sound is still there. Like you said, it's probably just noisy hardware. I cranked the volume up on the speakers and now I can hear it on Firefox and IE too.

It's kind of funny that Opera makes a scraping sound, while Firefox makes the same scraping sound but at a lower volume. IE makes a screeching sound at the same volume as Firefox, all tested on the same page.

from my experience, disabling smooth scrolling will change it more to a peep peep peep instead of a peeeeeeeeep :)
