  However, I can't help but think that we have all these great fixes just lying around waiting to be tested. So why not put out a snapshot?

  Even without Gestures UI they don't work as in 10.6
  
  How about new universal option: "new gestures with UI" / "old gestures without UI, with good sensitivity and without false operation (in a word, same as in Opera 10.6)"?

  hasn't any one turned up yet?

  Admit - you teased us!

  Broken link and Ruarí Ødegaard is probably to the party already :'-(

• Ruarí Ødegaard10. December 2010, 08:06

  Ok, calm down! I forgot one changelog item. We renamed the installer! It is there now.
  
  Reload the page if the link is still broken and it should work. Or use this link.

• Jimmy Tsatsos10. December 2010, 08:11

  1. The site http://adf.ly doesn't work correctly. To test it just sign in and then use the menu (Home, Referrals, Tools, Account, Withdraw, Logout), whatever you choose you stay in the same page.
  
  2. Video on this page doesn't load http://screenr.com/StL .
  
  Windows 7 x64
  
  EDIT: I love you Opera team, thank you for fixing this!

• kloon10. December 2010, 08:16

  Horrible startup times are still a show stopper to me, affecting both the installer and the browser itself. Sticking to the beta until u guys figure this out (DSK-321463).

  Surely you wont be the employee of the month since you wrote Olso instead of Oslo

• arnaud lautier10. December 2010, 08:24

  Hi it seems I'm having some issue with the way Opera behave with our Adobe Flex application.
  We send variables with the POST method from our application to a php script, those variables aren't accessible using the table $_POST but by using the variable HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA with the last 3 snapshots.
  
  It is still here and it's preventing us to use Opera in this state.

  I like plugin improvements, but I still get this error (since the last two builds I think) when trying to load a silverlight app:
  
  [HttpWebRequest_WebException_RemoteServer]
  Arguments: NotFound
  Debugging resource strings are unavailable...
  
  
  
  Its an internal app at work for time registration and I have to use Firefox for that.

  You. Are. Great!
  
  But in the Installer when klicking the questionmark there is now a scrollbar, intended to see all the help-Text ... but the scrollbar is not functional

• Erebos4210. December 2010, 08:37

  The texts in the visual mouse gesture thing seem to have scrollbars. Otherwise: great work!
  
  OS: Ubuntu 10.10
  
  Edit: Apparently there are also scrollbars at empty pages in the Speeddial Page. Maybe it's a problem with the widescreen resolution?!

• townsend10. December 2010, 08:39

  Windows 7 x64 still getting the creation of a "desktop.ini" file on my desktop everytime I run Opera.

• Zdeněk Zikán10. December 2010, 08:42

  Compose key does not work properly in address bar. I think it is issue that has been here for more builds, but I haven't reported yet.
  
  OS: Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
  I have Compose key mapped on my keyboard and use it for writing non-ascii characters. It works in all apps but Opera address bar. It works e.g. in textareas or google search box (the one which is next to the address bar). If I click into the address bar and press Compose + keys combination, it works only the for the first character and the first time after I focus on the address bar. So e.g. I can write "åsomething" but not "somethingå". If I write non-ascii character and delete it and try it again, it doesn't work either the second time. I have to un-focus and focus the address bar again.
  
  Writing non-ascii characters by changing keyboard layout e.g. to Norwegian works fine in the address bar, it's only Compose that doesn't work properly.

  Yup, still the scrollbars persist all around in ubuntu. Like in the security information popup from the address bar too. Hope it all gets fixed soon.
  
  I'll try the mac build later. Looking good.

  Thx. Downloading and testing. Thx for chance to disable Visual Mouse Gesture

  Awesome, thanks a lot for a new Snapshot. I will test it as soon as possible!
  
  One small thing: I know that I can check for Extension updates through the Opera menu, but would it be possible to have an extra button on the internal Extension page, which triggers a search for updates?

  Still problem to open a file enclosed in email. For example when I try to open file wrote in .pdf, Opera crashes

• ken2k10. December 2010, 08:58

  Hi,
  
  thx for the new snapshot.
  But why can't I use mouse gesture within this green bounding box : http://files.myopera.com/ken2k/files/opera_gesture_bb.jpg ??
  
  On Opera 10.x it worked perfectly, and small moves within the box represent at least 80% of my gesture movements.
  So PLEASE, could you provide us information about this : will you let the user do small movements in a future release ?
  
  Thx

  It's OK, just remember, it was very early in the morning and about 8.00 it was already fixed. Most of the people were still asleep!

  As I mentioned above need time to wake up!
  ________________________________________________________________________
  
  There is still a major bug in Opera which needs to be fixed! Linking an image in a dialogue box and afterwards trying to type some text beneath causes Opera to crash! Look @ this picture...
  
  
  
  And there is still the bug of not-displaying favicons in the search bar!
  
  
  
  Is it true that Opera 11.00 final will have hardware acceleration? Would be just PERFECT and make Opera the best browser just as it used to be.

• Hokkut10. December 2010, 09:22

  waiting for this^^
  Tab stacking issues: changes are coming but are still being tested internally

• hupfdule10. December 2010, 09:25

  Could you please make a comment on whether you are planning to include multi-key shortcuts in the final releease again?

• frogstomp10. December 2010, 09:27

  great, voice is back from the previous build.

• Unrealmirakulix10. December 2010, 09:30

  previews in Tabs look strange, if preview box is wider then web page. (perherps only when you have more then one stack)

  DSK-202992 ("Bookmark all open pages" puts bookmarks in wrong folder or root folder in Manage Bookmarks view)

  
  Yes! Thanks a lot!
  
  Unfortunately, bug (DSK-319312 or DSK-321400) with re-opened page position still is not fixed.
  Please, pay attention to it, that's a really nice Opera's feature.

  They just don't work. For example I have configured "x ctrl, k" to close a tab (as in emacs). This was working very well in previous opera releases. Since the opera 11 beta (I think) they do not work.

• Charlie Clark10. December 2010, 09:35

  Great - loads of Mail fixes! Of course, some long standing ones such as missing newlines when replying remain but I've sort of grown used to it! The new stuff really does increase usability. When do we get idenitities? ;-)
  
  Tab-stacking is an extremely elegant solution that is "quietly" useful and does not get in the way.
  
  Anyone know why http://www.chip.de/s_specials/c1_static_special_index_31891802.html will not load at all with the NotScript extension installed?

  (This worked in 1111, haven't tried 1136 yet) -- set opera:config#UserPrefs|Gesture Threshold lower than the default of 5. 0 worked for me; possibly a bit too sensitive...
  
  BTW, DON'T try a negative number. At least in 1111, a negative gesture threshold crashes opera:config and you have to edit operaprefs.ini to get it back! (DSK-320374)

• youngjr10. December 2010, 09:41

  Trusted site (e.g. https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions) badge in address field is still yellow not green like the previous build (1133).

  Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. Changing the threshold has no effect (still can't make small movements to work)
