  (I have reported this before, but have gotten no responses)
  
  There's a problem with The Daily Show's comments section on the Full Episodes part: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/wed-march-7-2012-cecile-richards
  
  Scroll down to the comments, and you will notice that the words are missing spaces between them. I'm using Opera 11.61, but it's been like this for many versions back.

  There is also a bug that has been annoying me for quite a while, but I'm not sure how to reproduce it yet. It has to do with images that are slowly loading, and whenever a new chunk of the image is loaded, there is a horizontal grey line between the new chunk and the old chunk.
  Basically, once the image is fully loaded, you see a bunch of grey lines at various intervals across it. The grey lines disappear if I scroll the page.
  
  Has anyone noticed this behaviour? (I'm on Win 7 x64, with Radeon HD5850 + Catalyst 12.1)
  
  Edit: I'm finally able to reproduce it consistently. Looks like it has to do with loading an image with a zoom level. Set your zoom level to 150%, and load this image: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/10.jpg
  
  You can play with zoom levels and hit F5 to refresh, and you will see the bug.

  It's good to see that Opera is working on issue and crash fix

• D1sasterp1eceFriday, March 9, 2012 12:32:17 PM

  The installer just showed me a R6025 error, I hope that the snapshot itself won't do the same.

• DanielDD64Friday, March 9, 2012 12:55:59 PM

  I'm very glad to see that you are focusing on bug-fixing.
  Just take you time with Opera 12.00

• Francesco De Domenicofrankdd89Friday, March 9, 2012 1:22:56 PM

  Go ahead Opera! We deserve a better browser!

  "DSK-340349 Tab drag and drop when moving outside of tab bar does not work as expected"
  So is it working now to drag tab to another monitor and maximize it there in one operation (it works in Chrome)?

  Confirmed - with Opera 12 BTW.
  
  I was going to write something along the lines of "that looks like a typical problem with your graphics card", but I can reproduce according to your instructions.

• Gousti FruitGoustiFruitFriday, March 9, 2012 2:37:56 PM

  I think nothing can be done about these artifacts, unless the display is refreshed after the file has finished loading, because when the the image is zoomed Opera can't know before the next chunk is loaded how to smooth the display between them (I also have this problem with other zoom levels)

  Firefox and Chrome and IE don't have this problem.
  
  Zoom being broken is the biggest issue with Opera.

  Weird bug in Opera's Downloads Tab. (?)
  
  If I download the "Opera-11.62-1327.exe" file in Linux Ubuntu 11.04 32bit, the file downloads ok, but if I, then, restart Opera, the file is gone from the list of downloaded files in the Downloads Tabs. Is this a bug or some security measure?
  
  Opera 11.62 1327. @ Ubuntu 11.04 Natty 2.6.38-13-generic-pae
  Edit: Also happens on Win 7 x64 SP1
  
  (Note, that in the previous build there was some weird behavior with the "Opera-*.deb" file download whereby Opera failed to remember the download folder after restart -it reverted to /home/), but it's gone in this build)

  This is not an Opera bug. You can install with dpkg because this is a bug in python-apt (used by Gdebi and Software Center), which affects more than just Opera.
  
  A fix has been supplied by Alexey Feldgendler (an Opera employee) to the upsteam project. This fix is now in Debian Sid and will eventually filter its way down other Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc. versions.

  There is zero difference between the 11.62 and 12.00 deb packaging. It likely works for you in 12.00 because of differences in the way you installed, e.g. you received an auto-update or it was a clean install, not an upgrade.

  The 2 bugs which arised in the previous beta build are still present:
  
  Unable to use the drop down menu and select another value in the
  1) print preview options (page size)
  2) webserver login windows (user/pass selection) [I mean the .htaccess generated logins, not html forms using the wand function]
  
  Also the problem with viewing MHT pages is still not fixed (every stored mht page has a thick white frame around the content, when open with Opera).
  
  And, there is still a long-term problem with occassionally missing favicons in the Bookmarks Bar (which re-appear when restarting Opera, but disappear again after some time).

  could you do something witch mail client compatibility between 12 end 11.62, update it to newer or something, its a bit annoying when u cant use it with odder version of opera because of files incompatibility.

  DSK-340349 Tab drag and drop when moving outside of tab bar does not work as expected
  Huzzah! Unblvbl for me
  Finally, when I "drag and drop" tabs on tab bar with wrapping to multiple lines they are not always stacked with each other!
  
  Memory leaks.
  For example, go to http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/ - normal, but when I'm opening one of blog posts opera start to eat all my RAM and starting use CPU ~25% but when I close this tab, everything (RAM and CPU usage!) goes normal! Also I saw this on one other site and I guess it's not all sites. Anyone can confirm this?
  
  Search in bookmarks.
  When I'm using mouse gesture for close all trees (GestureLeft) in "manage bookmarks" tab, right panel lose focus that's why when I'm typing word in search field nothing happen until I click on right panel for focus.

  "Settings for This View" are remembered on restart for all views, but in case of "Feeds", the settings are lost on restart, and need to be reset every time there is restart.
  
  I have reported this before, I hope this time this will be attended to.
  
  Thanks.

• blaximaSaturday, March 10, 2012 2:04:04 AM

  Seeing that there is no mention of printing fixes it goes without saying that Opera still doesn't print all pages when selecting all
  
  But I found a new bug with the Full screen mode. Pressing F11 to toggle works as expected but when using the right click menu and selecting Full screen, it's borked like it was before the fix.

  What is not supported for PDF? I can open it inside or outside the browser, as I wish. I can even type fillable forms in browser, and print or mail from browser. What does it "not support" for you?

• Christophchristoph142Saturday, March 10, 2012 8:55:08 AM

  She most probably didn't install Adobe Reader...
  Would be nice to add support for Win8's built-in reader though, but of course in 12 and not here

• exxocetSaturday, March 10, 2012 9:02:44 AM

  On SMF (Simple Machines Forum), Opera 11.62 still can't extend/minimize the post field, the area where you type you message.
  11.61 works, 12 64x works, latest 5 builds of 11.62 didin't.

• mfbdSaturday, March 10, 2012 9:06:57 AM

  flash behavior on maps.yandex.ru streetview/панорамы is more stuttering and not as smoth as on other browsers. this page is only an example.
  last flashplayer (64) on opensuse 11.4 (64) kde 4.8
  
  general remark: opera printing results are unusable in most cases. Switching to an other browser is the usual workaround. what a pity.

  Yes, I can confirm that. In most cases, I have to set the page size to about 80%, instead of 100%. Otherwise, right parts of the page are usually printed separately as new "lines", so the page layout is completely broken. Fit to paper width does not work correctly either.

  Id makes .ps only, not .pdf. It works for me too, but when I make a pdf it could be because I want to send it to someone else. As Christoph says, it dosen't work in adobe reader. I don't use it, but many people do use adobe reader. What do I mean about support for pdf? It means there is possible to print as pdf.

  So you actually need a PDF-printer installed on your system. That is NOT part of Opera. Download and install Bullzip PDF Printer
  Then just select "print" in Opera, select the PDF-printer and you're fine!

  That would not be a good idea. You should stick to one or the other branch, and should in general not expect that the same mail database can be used in older versions after Opera has made changes in the mail database structure. So the 'prevent dataloss' mechanism means that Opera will refuse to load the mail data if the version number is higher that what it knows it can handle.
  
  In *this* case, it could actually work, because the upgrade only resets some display values that you are unlikely to notice. Change the 'Indexer version' number in /mail/index.ini back from 13 to 12, and the mail data will load in Opera 11.6x. There are no guarantees though that the next version change (from 13 to 14) will be as limited as this one.

  I have always tried to update manually with gdebi and when this thing popped up, I tried it straight with dpkg and if I recall correctly, even this failed. Interestingly the last build of Wahoo installed without a hitch with gdebi. All of this made me think, that this might have something to do with packaging - along with the fact, that opera is the one and only application, that has ever triggered this kind of behaviour. And then of course... new install is different, because removing older version prior to installing new one has been the solution until now.

  This is not a feature of the browser. Adobe Acrobat (and possibly others) installs a plugin for IE and I think FF that makes it possible to "save as PDF" directly for those browsers. It has no such plugin for Opera. If it did, I wouldn't install it. I prefer to "print" my PDFs from applications using my standalone PDF printer software. In that way, I can control the name, the size, the quality and the type of PDF file before it is created - and I don't have to worry about plugin compatibility.
  
  In fact, I prefer to avoid Acrobat and Acrobat reader altogether. They are resource hogs that cause compatibility problems with a number of drivers, etc.

  I run Ubuntu. Ubuntu has built in print to file. It's possible to do so from within opera as well, but if I choosed pdf earlier, I got a ps file with pdf-extension. Anyway. I refered to the DSK-code and in this post it's pretty easy to check it and se it's stated as Linux-releated ayespy: I don't use acroread either.
