Friday snapshot
Hi All,
First of all I would like to say 'Hello World!' as it's my first post here. I have been working in the Desktop Team as a Mac QA for last one and half years and I'm happy to provide you with today's snapshot. Since the 12.00 RC is incoming fast we would like to give you a bunch of fixes to play with over the weekend.
This snapshot contains fixes for skin like: missing progress bar in the url field, ugly menu bar (Win), missing disclosure triangle (Mac, my favorite!).
You won't miss the crashers, especially the one when opening tabs from links (Win) and Opera freezing while playing some <video> elements (Mac).
There's more in the changelog so enjoy. Have a nice weekend and as usual thanx for any feedback!
PS. For those in Poland: it's Mother's Day tommorow so don't forget to buy some flowers!
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.

User agent string set to that of Opera 11.64.
In Opera 11.64 everything works fine.

E.G: in my case, Thumbnail folder size was ~6.7Mb, with 33 speddials, and WebGL demos would not work.
But after i reduced size of thumbnail folder (by reducing size of thumbnails) to ~600Kb, WebGL starts working fine.

Starting with a gray field and then having the background of the progress bar white would end up with the complete address bar in white when fully loaded which is what you see when nothing is loaded anymore (more consistent than white -> gray -> white again)
Fade out the border and the text at the end instead of just setting it invisible and it would look soooo smooth
Any plans to fix DSK-357319 (speed dial loosing hover state) before RC?

That stuff on the left of the espresso machine now gives beer?
Testing... The progress bar now works, but it's too light, I can barely see it.
One bug on Win7, it's present in 11.6*. It's easily seen with a lightweight theme:
When you have Opera maximized and have a tab with Speed Dial open, if you hover the tab or hover the O icon in the taskbar you can see the background shifted. The size and location is determined by when Opera is un-maximized.
This don't happen when Opera is not maximized. The background shows right.

I reloaded the page using all the ways to reload.. the very top post is about performance (previous build)...
manually loading this page shows no post and no comments... only header, footer and right panel are shown.. no content. WTF?!
archlinux x86_64
p.s. writing that comment from chromium because I there is no way to load this page in opera :-/

Edit: The Youtube frontpage still goes completely unresponsive to input sometimes.
Please, fix this! If I can't have a working Youtube I will have to continue using 11.64

Przeglądarka całkowicie się zawiesza na 10-20 sekund podczas ładowania tej strony.

However, the two "Native" themes (skins) I've reported as turning the Address Bar background black in the X64 builds are still that way (werwolf lobo argentino nativo & Windows Native Thin). DSK-362102. Is Opera going to be fixing these or is it up to the developer?

Desktopteam, will you fix it?
opera:config#UserPrefs|DebugSkin set to 1

Freezing issues are still present, especially upon calling Flash content on pages.
Has there been any modifications to pop-up blocker behavior? Last few builds handle links and pop-ups differently (in a poorer way).

The M2 email/rss buffer is missing a border.
The Speed Dial options dialog is misplaced.
SimpleNote (at https://simple-note.appspot.com/) does not show or retain any notes whatsoever.
Gawker sites don't show the purposed fonts.
Crash upon adding a RSS feed to Opera Mail.

Re-ordering tabs when using "wrap to multiple rows" was working in previous Next snapshot, but it's BROKEN AGAIN!
It's only possible to drag any tab to the end, inserting one tab between two other isn't working.
Please look into this, this issue must be fixed before Opera 12 final.
