  You always upgrade to new versions. No clean installations necessary.

  Mentioned this on the previous release candidate blog post about an hour back, the bug seems to be still there.
  
  1. WinXP, resolution of 1680x1050.
  2. Load a large image such as
  http://i.imgur.com/mIO4V.jpg
  or
  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/98/Andromeda_Galaxy_(with_h-alpha).jpg
  3. Zooming works in a very weird manner unless you click on the image itself first.
  
  Can anyone else confirm?

• SKYnv11. April 2011, 11:26

  Confirmed, also present in RC3, apparently.
  
  Fedora 14, x86_64.

• AndrewLow11. April 2011, 11:47

  Still, DSK-333482 (some default thumbnails are reloaded every zoom or dezoom)

• Patkos Csaba11. April 2011, 11:48

  REGRESSION: TABS - Cycle in recently used order - is NOT working again. This was fixed a few builds ago, I do not know if this is a regression in RC4 or it was present in the last couple of RCs also. I observed it today with RC4.
  
  MacOS X.
  
  I know this was a problem on Linux also in older betas but I can't test it right know.
  
  Can someone confirm for different operating systems?

• owned11. April 2011, 12:00

  Very strange Tab behvior/bug(?).
  Here's what I do:
  I open a page and clicked ot live video stream (iptv).
  The stream opens in new tab (maximized popup).
  So far so good BUT if I try to move this tab it will not allow me. When I drag other tab on it's place it works (change place with other tab).
  When this popup tab is first (next to menu button on the left) then when I drag other tab on it's place it does not allow me to drop it and change place with popup tab.
  Can anyone confirm?
  
  WinXP Pro SP3 32bit

• Nico11. April 2011, 12:01

  Thank you for another RC. However, Visual Mouse Gestures are still not translated in German (only the word "Opera Mausgesten" at the bottom of the visual gestures is translated).

• szarpaj11. April 2011, 12:03

  I wonder if someone will fix flash on x86 Linux before final release.

• rctneil11. April 2011, 12:06

  Whats' the best way to perform a full clean installation so I don;t lose bookmarks, speedials, extensions or custom settings?

• Ankur11. April 2011, 12:09

  Still cannot install. The installer crashes soon after extraction is done and the first install screen comes up.

  Try to give a better problem description. Here, zoom works as expected. The image fits the view port until I zoom out far enough for it to be smaller than will fit. As I zoom in more, the margin gets slightly bigger. Nothing weird is happening at all.

  What locale do you have?
  
  Try deleting the c:\Program Files\Opera folder

  hmm i found small bug after "DSK-333661 Missing close button in notification popup" - now size of popup notification is too small : http://img215.imageshack.us/i/beztytuuqkw.png/

• shaneh11. April 2011, 12:15

  I use the 'reddit enhancement suite' plugin for Opera. Most likely opera devs have heard of it.
  
  Every time I install one of these snapshots, or every few days, I get a "Reddit enhancement suite has been updated" notification, yet it never really updates, it just stays at the latest 3.4 version.
  
  I don't get this problem with last pass, only RES. I suspect it could be due to RES being hosted somewhere other than the official opera extension site.

  Important note:
  
  There is no need to confirm the same issue multiple times. One confirmation is more than enough. Multiple people posting "confirmed" over and over again just starts looking like spam.

  Reddit does not render correctly:
  
  
  Opera 11.10 2091 - Mac OS X 10.6.7
  
  Upgrade from RC3.1. No extensions.
  
  Can someone please confirm this?

• pikachu0111. April 2011, 12:24

  Gmail becomes weird looking (didn't zoom and remains small) when zooming (i.e. Zoom is not 100%) + visual tabs are used. Anyone can confirm this?

• loblo11. April 2011, 12:29

  None of the custom menu items for opening links with external programs work at all in the 11.10 builds, such as:
  
  [Document Popup Menu]
  Item, Open in Firefox = Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe","%u"
  
  [Link Popup Menu]
  Item, Open in Firefox = Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe","%l"
  
  [Bookmark Item Popup Menu]
  Item, Open in Firefox = Copy & Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe","%c"
  
  Hopefully this is not spam, pet bug or anything of that sort

  Phew. Another... wow.
  
  Can anyone confirm wand.dat incompatibility with 11.01 build ?
  
  I have installed this in a new folder and copied my 11.01 wand.dat and bookmarks across to it from 11.01...
  
  11.01 wand.dat works with this RC4... however, when I copy the wand.dat back to the 11.01 install, no passwords available even though the wand.dat file size has not changed.
  
  Usually personal profile stuff like wand.dat etc could just be copied over or backed-up without corruption or incompatibility - except for urlfilter.ini a while back this worked fine.

• Haavard11. April 2011, 12:48

  Time to move on to RC 4.1.

  Copying data to a previous version is not supported. You should always take a backup if you think that you may return to a previous version.

  No, just user error if you installed it in the default directory. I have:
  
  Item, "Open in Firefox"=Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", "%u",,"Firefox"

  Just an example (and actually where my Firefox is located) and this works in builds prior to 11.10 but not in the 11.10 ones anymore.

  YIKES... thanks for that. I did not realise just how close to the edge I have been treading all these years!
  
  On to 4.1 !

  If you want to keep everything, it's not a clean installation

  That's because it is autosized by default. Clicking once will give you original size, and only then can you use the zooming feature.

  It will be compatible with all those extensions that did not rely on core bugs in Opera 11.0 that got fixed in Opera 11.1.

  "by default" — it means that zoom behavior can be changed?

• Rijk11. April 2011, 13:45

  Originally posted by TZ86:

  No, it means that you can toggle between autosized and original size, and large images will start autosized. Press Enter of click to toggle this.

  As said, if you keep your extensions and custom settings then it's not a clean install!
  
  However, one tip I would give is to delete all default speed-dials and bookmarks (also clear the trash) *BEFORE* trying to synchronise with Opera Link! (I assume you're using Link...)
  
  And another tip: make copies of your user profile data (for windows: [user]/application data/opera & [user]/local settings/application data/opera) first. This means you have backups of any little files you may discover you need (like wand.dat (passwords) and contacts.adr (contacts)).
  
  For the rest, you'll just have to remember or note down the important custom settings and extensions so you can set them up again in the new version. Then uninstall, delete all Opera folders in your user profile (BUT KEEP A COPY OF YOUR MAIL FOLDER!), and use something like CCleaner to do a registry clean up afterwards.
  
  After that, install Opera, clear bookmarks and speeddial, start Opera Link, add the correct mail folder in opera:config, download any important widgets and extensions, change any important settings and close. You can then copy your wand.dat and contacts.adr files to the new folders and restart. That should do it.
  
  One thing about this exercise is it's sometimes good to see what the current default settings are and only change the ones you really need to.

  Tab cycling order seems to work correctly on Linux (64bits). But I have the issue I mentioned above on the Mac OS X. Please look into it before final. Thanks.

• sergiol12. April 2011, 10:06

  Those Opera guys don't know anything about versioning marketing. They should called it Opera Barracuda Release Candidate 95, and when the final version comes out they should call it Opera 95.
  
  After, they can have a version number that is way bigger than the one of Google's Chrome.
  
  And if Opera guys are asked why did they do this, the answer is pretty simple: "We followed the Microsoft Windows versioning system"
