On my old laptop, the power adapter brick made a distinct buzzing corresponding to mouse movement/scrolling. Low enough that I never noticed it until I had it up on the desk right next to me in a quiet room, but it was amusing. If it were coming from the speakers themselves, I'd have been more annoyed.

Opera 10.0 beta is being incredible wonky. The newest snafu is reducing the quality of pictures, as if they'd been through 50 Paint conversions. It also hangs in terms of bandwidth on occasion.

Anyone with the same issues?

Another strange thing; I'm pretty sure it didn't save some of my bookmarks, but that's speculation I can't prove - unfortunately.

Ah. I set it to automatic, and I guess it must have kicked in when the inexplicable slow-down kicked in.

I'll turn it off for good, then.

EDIT: Where the heck do you disable it? There's no icon no a Turbo option under Quick Preferences (probably because it isn't on by auto currently.

I could in Opera 9, but now that I'm on beta 10, I can't Right-Click>Speak anymore and when I try to, it tells me to download the Speech patch and pops up a download window (not the Transfers window), and immediately says "Download Failed" and sends me to this page: http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/voice/

Is there a manual download of this, with instructions?

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.

you know...I just realized that mine does this too, except its not just opera. neither logitech setpoint or control panel can adjust my scrolling size in ANY app. weird.

NashAsh posted:

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.

yeah, google does something similar. when I type something in and hit enter, most of the time it doesn't catch the keypress and I have to manually click on the search button.

I think you're talking about a completely different issue. Try this: on the Google page, go to Preferences, and choose "Do not provide query suggestions in the search box."

When I had something like this, it was being caused by something else setting it - in my case, KatMouse and SetPoint were fighting each other and I was up to 1 page at a time. There are some other apps that can affect scrolling, anything that interacts with mouse (or potentially keyboard hotkeys, though it's unlikely) could be changing this.

Zhu Li, do the thing!
I got a Motorola MotoQ smartphone at my work and it came with Opera Mobile 8.65. My first experience with it was positive, though I still don't know much of the little tricks about it like I do the desktop version (that and I'm kind of itching to try the 9.7 beta).

Interesting, though I probably won't find out what it'll be since I'll be working and/or sleeping at that time.

I mostly read it as they're just being cocky about Opera 10 release, as opposed to something new and great. I mean, I hope this means we're getting the gpu-based rendering stuff soon, but the timing seems more like we're going to turn this RC to Final and act like its incremental improvements are revolutionary.

Oh no, you can still use it, you just have to reset it there. It just gets funky sometimes, I think there's a shortcut that lets you change the scroll speed or something that I kept accidentally hitting.

Fuck SYLINK
A few questions:

We use SalesForce CRM for our service desk tickets and our tier 3 tickets use JIRA (which runs off the intranet). I only enter tickets into JIRA so I am mainly in SF. JIRA does interface with SF and creates a box within SF that shows you JIRA search info. It works ok with IE or FF but in Opera I get an intranet content blocked for your security type error message. I assume there is a preference to change to get around it but could not find anything.

The IE rendering engine plugin doesn't seem to be working for me. I followed the steps and tested it with a few sites; it reloads a blank page most of the time and sometimes loads a terrible looking page with a ton of script errors. I'm running Opera 9.64 and Vista 64bit (which I have a feeling is the problem). Any ideas, is there a new version of the plugin that I couldn't find?
