    This might be the Beta. Think of it as an RC for the Beta if you like. wink

    Still remained an old known issue (Tabs opened by extensions open to the left instead of the right).

    It will be fixed in the beta?

    You are assuming that there can only ever be one memory leak. We have fixed memory leaks recently but there may be others. Test yourself and provide clear steps as to how and when you see the problem, if you can reproduce.

    Annoying that hyves.nl still isn't working properly. Friens online list still doesn't show up
  • Arguggi16. March 2011, 15:17

    RSS feeds have been acting strangely in the last builds, like displaying only LOADING and not actually loading. Is this issue known?

    Testing the new build for any new fixes related to RSS feeds.

    Why Speed Dial still cannot fit itself to window? I used to have 4x5 thumbnails on 4:3 screen and now it just don't fit sad

    There should also be some way to decide whether to make a thumbnail in a new way or stay with the old one (definitely the older ones looks better for me).

    Could you try to be slightly more specific when reporting problems? If you can't include specific details on the problem, such as steps to perform in order to reproduce it, you can't expect anyone to pick up on it.

    Opera will have to tell us, but as someone mentioned in the last thread, Ars might be the most obvious example, but theirs isn't the only site that sometimes requires you to refresh the page in order for the stylesheet to load. Like the last poster, I've definitely seen it to a lesser degree on other random sites, though much less frequently than Ars. This is not something that I saw before 11.10.

    Don't know, I can. I just tested to download a driver from "Site 1" and it opened the d/l dialog and started downloading...
  • Handries16. March 2011, 16:21

    It still locks up and crashes on: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/
    Why??
  • QroxZ16. March 2011, 16:22

    I come on a site http:// www.realtek.com I choose the driver, I press to load it, there is a window, and demands to enter login and the password, but I don't know them. Without input of login and the password the driver isn't loaded. Other browsers download at once the driver, and the window with data input doesn't appear.
  • Worlon16. March 2011, 16:23

    Bug (for a long time in 11.10 line)
    On http://www.vatera.hu/ do any search (such as "telefon"), and go on the produsct's small pictures, thumbnails. It will not show at all, or only for a moment in larger. With 11.01 works fine.
  • bachokocho16. March 2011, 16:24

    Not that important to me but, Opera struggles on the third complex graphics test on Peacekeeper - "the space invasion". I cannot say if this is an issue in older snapshots of Barracuda
