Another Happy Tuesday?

June 21, 2011 · by Haavard

After Helge's Happy Tuesday snapshot last week, we thought we would follow up with another one today.

This build contains fixes for things like feed and mail messages only being marked as read rather than deleted, and makes sure newly added bookmarks are added as the last rather than the first folder item.

It also adds a new keyboard modifier to save images when clicking them (hold Ctrl+Alt and click an image to open the Save As dialog). This was needed because Ctrl+clicking a linked image now opens it in the background instead of saving it. We also ensured that Ctrl+Enter now opens URLs in a background tab.

We also got rid of a few crashes, and fixed various other bugs and issues. Take a look at the changelog for more information.

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.

    Can anyone confirm the following?

    1. Go to http://nrk.no/hurtigruten/
    2. Play video in fullscreen
    3. Navigate in video.
    4. Exit fullscreen.

    In the previous build, this crashed the plugin, which immediately crashed Opera. In this build, Opera freezes instead.

  • FelixFoxue21. June 2011, 15:55

    Am I really the only one who sometimes gets empty tabs shown since about 3 builds when cycling?

    I do not know how to reproduce but it happens with private tabs as with usual ones.

    Ubuntu 11.04, 32 bit
  • windozeur21. June 2011, 16:03

    1049 & 1052 same problem OK with 1040

    Bug in the system by installing with Seven 64. window with indicated: Shortcut missing maxthon?

    after kill the process, installation possible
    but every time I start Opera Next, same problem ...
  • kanstisama21. June 2011, 16:06

    Why the cursor is not in the address bar from the moment Opera comes up on the screen? Even when I use CTRL+L it still disappears from the address bar and I have to wait some time, till my previously opened tabs will load to focus it again in the address bar and finally type a website address.
  • nimu_channimuchan21. June 2011, 16:12

    Oh...Thank you!! up
  • noews21. June 2011, 16:12

    Great!
    The bookmark bug is finally fixed. I have waited so long.

    The speeddial also contains a bug, if you use the 9.2 compatible keyboard setup, the first item of the speeddial will not mapped to Ctrl+1.

    Sry, but unconfirmed!

    Got to that site und after about 3 minutes (!) of loading that page lol I fullscreened that video, navigated to the beginning, in the middle and to the end and finally exited the video to box-state. Nothing happened, no crash and no freeze.

    So it works fine here. No bug. Has to be another source for that problem.
  • Yndi21. June 2011, 16:20

    Feeds are deleteable again yes beer
  • iamfromreallifeiFloriano21. June 2011, 16:24

    Rendering of text incorrectly positioned on loading some sites still occur:

  • sTeeVeboY21. June 2011, 16:26

    I recently noticed that highlighting of text under a speeddial when mouse is hovered on.

    Very very nice! Good work Opera Dev Team, keep it up! smile

    P.S.: This build is very speedy, WoW!
  • Mikanoshi21. June 2011, 16:29

    Aaawesome happy
  • OlegYch21. June 2011, 16:29

    thanks guys for all the tab handling and crashes fixes!
    a few issues in this build:
    urls from external programs are opened in new window instead of existing
    reopening closed tab does not always maintain it's position
    'new tab' opens it outside of current stack
  • kapsi21. June 2011, 16:30

    Minor bug: when Opera is in Turbo mode and a stand alone (not in page) image is opened, it's saved as .webp. When you click it and choose "reload in full quality", ctrl+s still wants to save it as .webp. Saving the image with mouse works correctly.

    Confirmed. But in Google Chrome works as in Opera.
  • jiongtl21. June 2011, 16:40

    "DSK-336454 Simplified Chinese wrongly detected as Korean"

    After install this build, Many bookmarks with Chinese name are use the right font, but still some of them are using unexpected font.

    In "Bookmark Properties" dialog, word in "Description" field is using unexpected font while same word is OK in "Name" field.

    Change Simplified Chinese font in "International Fonts" to "Microsoft YaHei" and search "你好" at http://www.google.com and http://www.google.com.hk can produce a different result in font usage.
  • stivo8521. June 2011, 16:46

    Like it.

    Counting open tabs in Browsing Stats extension works again.
    Loosing focus probably fixed - testing.

    But Speed Dial is still refreshing after update. First Opera is executed by installer and SpeedDial is ok. Then when I start Opera manually SpeeD Dial thumbnails are refreshing.
  • PraetorianX21. June 2011, 16:56

    I have the HTML5 youtube weird problem that I posted here:
    http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1018582

    I have not reported this as a bug yet.
    Can anyone confirm or unconfirm this, please?

    Win7 x64 Opera 11.50 beta build 1052.

    (I just noticed that) This also happens in Opera 11.11. Is it known?
  • IQ10Unknown-opera21. June 2011, 17:00

    Thanks smile
  • ncc5044621. June 2011, 17:00

    Must say, this is a very happy Tuesday, thanks!
    Only complaint so far is the Speed dial borders are too thick. On a smaller screen, it doesn't look very good...
    Otherwise, awesome work smile
  • vilpapa21. June 2011, 17:08

    Finally fixed a couple of real bugs. Thank you!
    Ctrl + alt it's a good thing.

    Confirmed.

    You need to have it fullscreened a few seconds. First time Opera froze, second time the flash plugin crashed. On Windows 7, Flash 10.3, with enable plug-ins only on demand.
  • wile-e-wonka21. June 2011, 17:33

    It would be nice in Opera Next, when it tells me that there is an update ready to download, if it would tell me the build number.

    The reason I request this is because I just asked it to check for an update and it said I have an update. So I let it download and install, but the build number is 1049. Now that I have build 1049 installed, the updater tells me I have the most recent version, but, in fact, the above blog post has a link to build 1052. I would have skipped the updated and downloaded straight from the blog had build number 1049 been mentioned in the auto-updater.
  • Muhammad-Ubaid razamubaidr21. June 2011, 17:36

    Gesture of open link in new backround tab does not work on speeddial (it opens a empty background tab)!

    Microsoft web app does not open or keep loading!

    preferences-->advance-->programs--> details button does not work.


    Please add option for autotab stacking from same domains.
  • cascarudex21. June 2011, 17:38

    Thx for change (Thumbnail Busy Image)

    without it... is even better, I always delete this line in skin.ini

    "Thumbnail Busy Image = buttons/add_thumbnail_icon.png"

    startup more faster up
  • JUICEDanieljuiced21. June 2011, 17:40

    I guess you probably know this, but the German amazon website isn't displayed properly with Opera (any version). The menu is different and the prices aren't displayed on the top 100 DVD charts etc.

    mask as firefox and let us know if that fixes the problem.
  • Ke11ett21. June 2011, 17:53

    I don't seem to be able to drag&drop tabs between separate opera windows.

    Open Opera and load a page
    Open a new window (Ctrl+N) and load a page
    Try and drag the tab from either window into the other window

    Win7 SP1 64bit

    Have you signed up for html5 trial? http://www.youtube.com/html5 That could be one reason.

    Another could be that YouTube might be experimenting with some progressive loading. You could check same account in other browser to see if you get the same problem.

    You're not supposed to be able to. The "fix" only allows you to drag tabs to the speed dial. See this post

    Only skimmed through that post but is that not just about tabs activating on mousedown rather than release? I'm just trying to move it between windows. I don't mind when the window gains focus.

    The only way it seems possible to do it currently, is to drag the first tab on to the top of another tab so they create a group in the second window.

    Dragging onto the speeddial just reopens the page rather than moving it.
