Great!!!
But dialog - Delete setting and data from all extensions is not localized.

So, that means the memory leak, which makes Opera x64 use up to 5GB RAM in "several days without restart" scenario, is still there...
It is probably caused by Google-Opera incompatibility...

I am very skeptical as 12.11 was a shock to me!

I like to know does this update has this following issues?

1. is drop down menu working on calcuttatelephones.com ?
2. does extensions like Twitter Timeline needs re-auth ?
3. copy some text on any webpage is working or not? With 12.11 I can not copy and paste easily!
4. One tab can connect to internet and another one can not - is this issue resolved?
Gela2011Tuesday, December 18, 2012 9:25:36 AM
when the opera turbo an error "Internal communication error" - for all sites. opera 12.11 all OK.
Win7 x86
vanhablTuesday, December 18, 2012 9:27:49 AM
Take normal hardware acceleration in 12.5 release please.

1. Nope, not working;
2. Seems fixed;
3. Some pages still randomly may go to this weird state with unselectable text;
4. Still randomly happens to me too.

Windows 7 x64, Opera x64
bachokochoTuesday, December 18, 2012 9:31:22 AM
Yep, because every site I visit requires hardware acceleration.
Congratulations Opera Desktop Team! Still waiting for a Christmas present but if none is meant to be, have a good vacation!

try disabling "SPDY turbo" in opera:config its now enabled by default in 12.12 but some users(including me) having problems enabling it so its better OFF until opera resolved the bug.

EDIT: Scratch that i Dl'ed and see 12.12 opera:config spdy turbo and it was disabled by default.

I'm on a XP SP3 32Bit machine. In Win7 32bit works fine it seems...

Great! Was this version supposed to be released on 12.12.12?

A site issue? Mask as FF seems to help.

Opera 12.12 in december 2012. I already know one thing. Opera 13.13 will not be released in month 13 in 2013.
Michael MaierTuesday, December 18, 2012 10:05:49 AM
The entry "Delete settings and data for all extensions" in the Delete Private Data dialog isn't translated. (At least in the German version)
GhirahimTuesday, December 18, 2012 10:18:20 AM
And now, finally, 12.50!
cremosoTuesday, December 18, 2012 10:24:08 AM
Thanks! anyway, I have a possible bug:

1. Set the default zoom to 120% (for example).
2. Go to any website, and clone the tab.

The new tab is at 100% zoom, I expected the same zoom level than the original tab. And I mean exactly the same, for example, if you have 150% in that tab (having set the zoom to 120%), the new tab has to be also 150%, not 100% or 120%.

Greetings and BTW I use Windows XP SP3
alekksanderTuesday, December 18, 2012 10:57:53 AM
"updated" last rc to this, and images won't load for all tabs that were open... refreshing or deleting private data isnt helping here. any new page loads correctly however (except:

I suspect SPDY as the main cause of many new bugs, so I'm going to try to disable it (opera:config#Network|UseSpdy2 and UseSpdy3), and use Opera like that for several days... Scientific Method FTW...

DSK-376093 still present!!!!!!!

1. Open Google+ Photos
2. Go upload, choose album (or create one)
3. Choose a picture on PC less than 50 kb (not issue in files > 50kb)
4. Then Opera never upload that picture... just hangs and must be closed shutting down opera.exe service.

Windows 7 x64

thanks, but i disabled SPDY once it was introduced, so it is not causing any problems for sure. other problem was caused directly by update, and its not appearing anymore

Upgraded from 11.64 and unable to follow any href from any image rendering many sites (at best) extremely annoying or unusable.

A good example was http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ where the image and headline are both contained within the same link tag. Clicking the picture would highlight the link text, but Opera would not open the page. Clicking on the text headline worked fine.

Right-click of image and selecting open from the context menu worked as normal.

System restore to before upgrade resulted in 11.64 doing the same thing.

Normal service has now been resumed with 11.64 after manually restoring AppData directories.

** EDIT **

A second attempt at upgrade did not reproduce the problem
