  Great job guys

• Evo2Me21. July 2006, 15:10:45

  The log-in-showing-only-upon-reload problem is still there.
  
  I am permanently logged-in to Roger Ebert's site but will only be shown such when I reload the freshly loaded frontpage.
  
  OTOH, I was able to read Salon.com on a free site pass - let's see how this goes over the next few days ...

• t.prochazka21. July 2006, 15:11:23

  Still bug:
  http://atom.mamto.cz/projekty/opera/bug13/

• Evo2Me21. July 2006, 15:14:17

  Why again are the Open in New Tab and Ope in Background Tab entries of the context-menu for folders in the Hotlist greyed out, hence, disabled?

• CZ_Vilda21. July 2006, 15:15:59

  First.
  From verison 9.00 (windows) I am not able to open Opera with no pages(tabs). Its stupid. When i click on any link at system, Opera (as default browser) opens with two tabs. First empty and second with link i have clicked. Please return back this option.
  
  Second.
  From version 9.00 when Im downloading (ie .pdf) and i click to open it (not to save), it saves in folder i declare in options, but after close the document (.pdf) Opera removes the file. Its makes me trouble, because I am used to browse manuals downloaded form net this way and at the same time Opera store them in folder (ie c:\temp) and I am able to read them again (and not searchig by google again). Please return this feature back, or make a new button in download dialog named "save to temp and open". Please please.
  
  Try to be different. That is why im using Opera (and many users around me too). Trying to be like Firefox is way to be like IE.
  
  Thanks

  Dwnldin'
  
  Let's с what guys have improved and fixed.
  
  By the way... In all several previous betas-finals-weeklies I haf printing problems from the "print preview" mode.
  
  If there's 1 page in the document 2 b printed the printing process freezes. U have 2 restart Opera.
  
  When there r few pages usually ev'rything goes ok.
  
  Sometimes, though, attempts 2 print from the "print preview" mode with no respect 2 how many pages there r in the doc crash Opera.

  Hey, this finally works with our proxy!
  Good work!

• FataL21. July 2006, 15:26:22

  I would like to say that NTLM authorization now working for me, but it is not.
  It still not accepting my login and password and throwing at me authorization dialog again and again.
  Some details:

  • Microsoft SharePoint
    
  • https
    
  • TLS v1.0 128 bit ARC4 (1024 bit RSA/MD5)

  
  PM me if you need more details.

• MrFrodo21. July 2006, 15:29:36

  Went to this page:
  http://snapshot.opera.com/mac/
  looking for what changed this time around.
  
  Will this be updated anytime soon? Seems a bit behind.

• Bill_P21. July 2006, 15:30:01

  The Pandora widget totally does NOT work in Suse Linux. It dl's and when started the widget (except the top and right borders) turns white and does nothing. Dudes it's the only widget that is essential

  This is customizable, IMHO, @ opera:config#UserPrefs|AllowEmptyWorkspace. Just check it.

• Evo2Me21. July 2006, 15:32:44

  Still probs with Flash 9 in this build (i.e. interactive elements on TV.com not working, sometimes elements not loading completely).

• FataL21. July 2006, 15:33:07

  Woo-ho! News on Gazeta.ru now works! Thanks! Still doesn't work - needs refresh. I "fixed" problem by disabling inline frames for this site.
  
  Hover bug (regression) still there. It makes my page layout jumping when you try to put cursor in search field.
  
  Other annoyances that still there:

  • search - very slow highlighting
    
  • wrong link selection when using spatial navigation Bug #210669
    
  • black background when using zoom Bugs #198211, #198161, #126808

  @MrFrodo: Snapshot doesn't contain information about weekly builds.

• cedricpc21. July 2006, 15:43:57

  Hi,
  
  Some flash games are still slow... As usual!
  
  And why not put an option to choose if we want to have the date of last visit or the title (or the URL sometime?! oO) in the Address Bar for the visited addresses? Because if the URL and the title are too long, it's ugly (or even unreadable)...
  
  But good job.
  
  
  (Sorry for my English... I don't speak english very well.)

  still prob with toggle between author & user mode & searching.
  
  have to press ESC before it works properly.
  
  I guess this is good because it gives one feed back when changing modes.
  
  1. Help -> About Opera
  2. search for "pro" - F3, type in "pro", <Enter>
  3. toggle to user mode - Shift-G
  4. press F3
  
  nothing until:
  5. press ESC
  6. F3 OK.
  
  7. toggle back to author mode - Shift-G
  8. press F3
  
  nothing until:
  9. press ESC
  10. F3 OK.

  Still fails the Acid2 test.
  Minimum font size set to 13 and is gets corrupted.
  Scrolling should not work but it does, and it leaves bits behind.

  Thank you for fixing the pasting from notes bug. Bug-220412 persists though.

• Benjamin Joffe21. July 2006, 16:40:15

  Any improvements to widgets is something I like to hear. I can definantly notice a huge improvement on the responsivity to my "The Colours of the Rainbow" widget.

• sidfirex21. July 2006, 16:40:36

  Hi Opera Team... Got Flash Problems... try to visit this site http://www.linkinpark.com ...IT DOESNT LOAD COMPLETELY WHEREAS IN OTHER BROWSERS IT WOULD. Hope this gets fixed. Many Thanks and keep up teh great work!!!

• andresruiz21. July 2006, 16:49:56

  Hi tks a lot
  
  I'm new using opera mail manager, i think that one of the most important things about a POP mail is the posibility of asking for delivery and read confirmations. On web mail I can check 2 boxes, one for "delivery confirmation" and other for "read confirmation" but in Opera I don't have that, can you please add support for that important feature ??
  
  Please ?
  
  I don't want to Install MS Outlook again please !!!
  
  Tks

• Soleen21. July 2006, 16:57:13

  FataL: Woo-ho! News on Gazeta.ru now works! Thanks!
  
  Still can't open it! Did you do a fresh install
  http://www.gazeta.ru/lenta.shtml
  :-(

• FataL21. July 2006, 16:58:44

  @Soleen: It works for me in this build. All text appears from the first load - no need for refresh anymore.

• ableza21. July 2006, 17:02:12

  I'm still having the exact same problem as Krusha:
  http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/363893#comment1887031
  
  I can never be quite certain when print preview will crash Opera, so I don't use it as much as I would like. I have also had Opera crash when doing a standard print (CTRL+P), though not as frequent.
  
  I'm hoping someone can help sort this out. If it's something on my end, I'd happily fix it.

• Soleen21. July 2006, 17:04:05

  Nope, does not work for me, just did a totally fresh install, in a spearate directory. Went to http://www.gazeta.ru/lenta.shtml and the page contenet does not appear, even if I do refreshes!

• ableza21. July 2006, 17:07:33

  A second problem I've been having:
  
  On web pages like Amazon I get greasemonkey autocomplete scripting errors which I can't resolve. I don't get the errors when viewing the same pages with IE. Is it an issue with the Opera build or is there a separate fix?

• sebt21. July 2006, 17:20:05

  http://www.royalmail.com is broken. None of the links or controls on the front page work in Opera.
  
  Confirm?

  Strange! My google adsense report > overview > adsense for content > top channels dropdown window immediately closes itself when clicked open. It should have stayed open until clicked again.
