Cool. My progression was 10.50 install (whichever was most current on Feb 20th) in a clean directory, hide everything but the Tab Bar/Page Bar, then upgrade to 10.50 Beta 2 using the Classic installer.

In XP you also need to use Windows XP theme, not Windows Classic

I've been having an annoying problem since I upgraded to the 10.50 versions (now on RC4): on SA the links that appear that take you to the first new post in a thread aren't working for me except for the first time after I clear the disk cache; they just keep bringing me back to that same post. Is this happening for anyone else or am I just stupidly missing a setting?

It's almost sad to say, but I almost don't feel like updating with all these builds coming out all of a sudden. I haven't installed RC4 (barely noticed RC3 was even released).

EDIT: Watch this space for the 10.5 final. Seems to be just the RC5 build at the moment. Nothing official until it's announced, blah blah blah.

Here's hoping transparent tabs come back, I'm not digging the pale blueness right now. Other than that, the Final seems to be pretty much the same as the rest and hasn't been a crashfest.

I'd kill to have the active tab be "wide" though. It's pretty much the most elegant solution to getting the thread title onscreen now that my titlebar is filled with excellence. Do any of the other browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) do that?

10.50.

Noninteractable white boxes appearing that persist in restarts. A friend said this is stuff not loading that shows up after a restart but it hasn't for me.
MDI is very broken, windows constantly being placed off-screen, etc, where I have to do Window > Maximize All to fix it. Minimize/maximize/close buttons completely gone.
Font rendering in textareas hosed? (did they change the default font?) Edit: I think it switched to using Consolas now for monospace areas, don't remember what the font was before.
Font rendering in UI area is showing black text with a dark gray shadow on a black transluent background.
Tiny bubbles in the bottom-right of tabs to indicate that they have loaded while not in focus, replacing the old way it was with the page icon.
~~This new gray bar in the bottom left refuses to die. Customize appearance won't let me remove it.~~ Figured this one out.

I know most of this will probably be fixed with a clean install, but that is really, really annoying for an upgrade build.

:argh:

Part of removing modal dialogs that prevent you from changing tabs when visible.

I'm more angry about the password manager closing on its own after a while, before I'm able to determine if I typed the password correctly.

Flash videos are weird, half the players work great, but youtube's still has major issues.

Also coming back from a d3d game sometimes disables the majority of the UI rendering.

It's entirely usable as a main install and I don't regret the choice to upgrade from 10.2 or whatever, but yeah definitely it's more rushed than their other final releases have been, and you may want to wait for 10.51. However, they've been really freakin' killing themselves to get this out on time, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see no new builds for a week or so as they rest.

[edit] That said I don't seem to have most of the problems that other people do, and the problems I did have were solved by nuking my profile folder, i.e. doing a clean install.

[edit2] The one thing that's still ticking me off is when I save files, sometimes if the filename has spaces in it, it leaves all of them as %20 and I have to fix it manually because this%20looks%20ugly%20as%20hell.

Can I get some education on the new opera:cache? So my most common thing to do with the old cache was let a youtube video finish downloading then drag the cache file to MPC to play it that way (so I had better control and presentation of stuff). I did this by using explorer so I never had much need for o:c. But with the new method of creating a ton of directories this is harder to do.

So if I bring up o:c and then youtube.com I find a number of videoplaybacks which are clearly the videos. But if I click them, it seems to always redownload them from the site. What's the logic behind redownloading a file I currently have on-disk in cache? Is there any way to open the file on the disk through the opera:config dialog?

I'm totally confused by how to make use of the cache browser because it seems to be more of a file history browser than a cache browser considering it seems to never draw from files on the hd. Have I wandered astray and misunderstood it? Is my opera not behaving and you can launch files on the hard drive via the o:c page?

I noticed the same thing with url redirectors. If you visit the url and it redirects you, you cannot copy the original url anymore.

Click the first link, come back to the results, try to copy the address of the link

edit: I went to the opera forums and found the solution, all I have to do is turn off the global 'fit to width' option. That sucks because I use it all the time with pages zoomed 150%.
