11.01 snapshot with several crash fixes

January 17, 2011 · by Ruarí Ødegaard

Ok, I'll keep it short and sweet and let you get on with testing. wink Here is a new build. Our main focus this time has been improving stability so if you were hitting a crash before then please give this a try.

Mac users: We removed the special version of our crashlogger. Thanks to all those who reported crashes with it.

WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes, and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

Download

Known issues
  • Profile-Guided Optimization is temporarily disabled on Linux/FreeBSD. Resulting in a slight performance dip: it will be back on before the final
  • Linux/FreeBSD has a slightly higher build number: related to disabled PGO (there are no other changes)

Changelog

Core
  • CORE-32345 (Crash on closing a tab for some users)

Cross-platform
  • DSK-320914 (Corrected the wording for some html5 form errors)
  • DSK-322420 (Crash when opening some downloaded files)
  • DSK-322469 (Default size of searchfield is changed (unintentionally) on Opera 11)
  • Fixed several commonly reported crashes reported by our crash logging tool
  • Translation updates throughout the UI
  • Some skin fixes and tweaks

    Good work smile Keep it up. Why is default language set to Russian when my windows language is English?
  • Robert Meijers17. January 2011, 16:13

    Nice, stability is always a good thing smile
    Any word on the compositing bug(s) on Linux? (right click + scroll hanging)

    It is fixed internally but not on the 11.01 branch. If after further testing we decided the fix has a low risk of causing other problems it might go on 11.01, otherwise it will appear in a future version with a higher build number.
  • nimu_chan17. January 2011, 16:31

    Very nice!! thank you up

    Because you have selected "Russian" as a primary language for non-unicode text smile

    If I add new search-field from http://www.musik-sammler.de/

    http://www.musik-sammler.de/index.php?do=search&artist=%s&title=Titel&track=Songtitel&ean=EAN-Nr.


    Then do some search from bar, we can see large favicon!

    DSK-287845: Re-editing e-mail drafts forces unwanted hard line wraps
    DSK-160078: Drafts and sent mail displayed formatted when editing

    Again not fixed. Years old bugs ....
  • benje17. January 2011, 17:00

    Feedback with respect to the skin tweaks:
    the new counter colour of light grey for feeds and emails doesn't have enough contrast. It's hard to see the number of feeds or emails!

  • BS-Harou17. January 2011, 17:10

    That new small vertically top aligned arrow for collapsing tab stack looks weird, I think that the original arrow was better smile
  • Martin Rauscher17. January 2011, 17:14

    Well... The installer crashes... bigsmile
    Edit: Only happens when I click the "accept button" while Opera is still running.
  • EricJH17. January 2011, 17:15

    Cool.

    Fixed several commonly reported crashes reported by our crash logging tool

    Does this include crashing when logging into Yahoo Mail?
  • D1sasterp1ece17. January 2011, 17:29

    Regarding DSK-322469, nothing can get the search field to shrink past a certain point (in a maximized window on a 1680*1050 screen). Well, it shrinks a bit, but then every interaction with it resets it to a [bigger] default size.
    See, this is the minimum size I can shrink it to, and this is the seemingly predefined default size to which it resets.
    By the way, I've noticed that opening the panels reduces the size of the field, but this seems to be just a side effect and moreover, I browse with panels closed.
  • Felipe Fujiy Pessoto17. January 2011, 17:29

    The bug about POST is not fixed? It´s very important!

    When you post at some forms, give random about Invalid Verb or Request
  • Felipe Fujiy Pessoto17. January 2011, 17:30

    Another problem, when open some tabs with middle click, and go closing, Opera dont respect the opening order
  • Peter17. January 2011, 17:48

    Thanks for this - always good too have a new toy.

    What about Mouse Flips - is Flipback still broken.

    There might be a clue as to the cause here, with something that works but isn't neat, but seems, so far, to be 100%:

    "(This has not been tested very much): it would seem that Flipback works every time IF the Left button is clicked on the page first. As Flipforward always works (and, of course, uses the Left button first), there might be a problem with focus. This is just a guess, especially as scrolling works well thus suggesting that the page is in focus."

    My crash test this Opera build still doesn't pass.
    Open about 80 pages from saved sesions, Opera eats about 1Gb RAM and booom!

    What does "Default size of searchfield is changed (unintentionally) on Opera 11" refer to? With the werwolf lobo argentino nativo 2.0 skin, the Search field looks the same, i.e., very small compared to the address field.

    This build and previous one crash when I click «Delete private data».

    Opera 11.01.1169, Windows XP Pro, SP3/x86
  • flashface17. January 2011, 19:15

    Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut still not fixed.
    Scenario:
    1. Copy a URL to buffer
    2. Open a new blank tab with ctrl+t
    3. Hit ctrl+shift+v (paste and go) when cursor is in address field
    See that the url is pasted into active tab, but is actually opened in a new, background tab.

    This is a thing I use all the time. It is broken in 11, I'll keep using 10.63.
  • minho17. January 2011, 19:27

  • Jan Henrik Helmers17. January 2011, 19:45

    So if I get you right, the issues are:
    - Disabled context menu items show non-disabled arrows.
    - Callout arrow sometimes misplaced.
    - Bad layout in the authentication dialog.

    The context menu issue I did not know about. Is there an easy way to test it?

    I've seen the callout arrow issue before, perhaps the black-magic generators need to be recalibrated (I think the positioning is quite delicate).

    I've seen the layout issue in the authentication dialog in your screenshots before. It looks like you are using an exotic toolbar configuration. Do you have some steps to reproduce that in a clean build?

  • Luca17. January 2011, 20:09

    nothing to do, for me this and the last build are unusable.
    Page loading take ages, and sometimes didn't loads at all.
    Cleaned the data too but nothing, still the problem.

    Back to the 11.00 stable version where i have no problem at all.

  • Mimi's Mum17. January 2011, 20:11

    Some skin fixes and tweaks

    Does one of the skin change involve drastic shrinkage of tab favicons? They look about 1/4 of previous size yikes

    [Addendum]
    Looks like this only happens when tabbar is vertical and with is set very small (opera:config#UserPrefs|PagebarWidth = 35). Fine if PagebarWidth is set at 40. I suppose not many people set pagebar that small and this bug is considered very very minor. But still happened the first time with this build.
  • kanstisama17. January 2011, 20:19

    autocopy.js doesn't work with this and previous snapshot
  • Sasquatch17. January 2011, 20:27

    Still blank page when going back to speed dial through back button. Doesn't always happen, but once it goes (takes about two or three returns to speed dial on one tab), it never goes away for that tab and the next one will get it faster. It can eventually result in a crash.

    Google Docs speadsheet still has the drawing issue where the entire sheet is moved down, causing the rows to go out of sync with the row numbers. End of the document will fall off the screen.

    Ps, please disable the effects of the comment box, it's causing massive CPU usage when changing colours and doesn't have any added value.
