Address, Search, Extensions, and Installer
It's not Christmas yet, but we're back with another excellent set of improvements to the address and search fields to correct faulty animations, more accurately display security information, and generally make things a lot more pretty.
We have also fixed a bug that have appeared in the last half a dozen snapshots where secure negotiation (HTTPS) would end prematurely, leaving the page blank until you restarted Opera and tried a second time, along with a very common crash on exit.
Extensions get a few updates, particularly on the UI side.
Finally, on Windows there are numerous improvements to our installer.

Running Windows 7, and when I started the installation the beta was still running, closed it during the installation but don't remember exactly when (if it was during the "introduction" screen where I still had to select "accept in install" or if it was already when the installation was started)

DSK-321101 (Autoupdate crash when triggereing update of unite)
I don't know if it's a common problem, but I can't update Unite anymore (since a few beta builds) - the login window pops up, I enter my login data, and it just keeps popping up again.

I love Opera but I am compelled to use Firefox for banking, payments etc. and Opera for games and funs. Sadly.
Jan SegreJanLukaz8. December 2010, 18:40
I just happened to notice a tiny animation gui problem:
[img]http://i54.tinypic.com/23vyebt.png
it happens when opening and closing a stack from outside that stack, it doesnt happen when the top of the stack is the first tab in it.
another thing maybe not that worth mentioning is that when you close a tab in a stack and repoen it it returns outside the stack, maybe it is on purpose, i dunno.

Please, make the same on Address search bar.
BTW, why to not do some options in settings, that user could choose number of desired suggestion (3,5,7,10 and so on)?
ArturMithos8. December 2010, 18:45
Besides the bug with the skin is still not fixed.
Screenshot:
J-K-L8. December 2010, 18:47
For example in the mouse gesture UI (every text label has scroll bars), or in the info box which is displayed when the security badge is clicked.
Anyone else ?

Oh and while typing this for a few seconds I couldn't mark any text. Now it's fine but it's not the first time I noticed this problem, sometimes happens randomly on normal webpages.
delarge428. December 2010, 19:01
Still waiting for automatic focus on adress bar when starting Opera, please! (just like when creating new tab and just like it worked in versions before 11).
Not even going to mention that crazy autostacking again
Edit: Opera starts veeeeery slow now

Still fails to load, Errorcode 1.1. Ubuntu.

On that note: the texts displayed in the gesture overlay seem to overflow their areas. I get scrollbars with them.
