HiDPI extension and fixes

October 24, 2012 · by Daniel Aleksandersen

We're having a bug hunting marathon.

You'll be the judges of our continuous work.

On to something more pretty: A month ago, our UI got an overhaul to support the new high pixel density everyday life of OS X users. Now, we're giving extension developers the same ability to offer higher resolution versions of their extensions. Read more about it in the Extensions icons vs high resolution displays post over at the Addons blog. There are currently only two extensions available with high resolution graphics, but we hope there will be many more in time for the release.

Known issues

DSK-375750 [Windows] (Can't restore window if theme installed)
DSK-375761 [Windows] (Black window/UI not responding after minimizing and maximizing Opera)

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.

I find a workaround for people getting annoyed by these bugs(captain obvious here)

DSK-375750
DSK-375761

though tested on W7

1) minimize the browser then restore(u can see those lines but cant click inside the browser)
3) then quickly "ALT+TAB" to cycle through open programs(eg task manager)

4)done.

this is only for people who want to use "NEXT" builds as their main/stable than the stable version itself.

although temporary opera team should fix this ASAP.

i hope i help( a little)

Hello!
I upgrade installation 11.10 1633 version, but in my old computer to minimize the window, and then restore the window, appears in Figure this problem, you want to wait for a while and then drag the window browser in order to properly display content.
My computer is G41 integrated graphics, XP sp2

Ouch. I guess it's a side-effect of this "fix":
1. scroll down a page
2. make a fixed element transition
3. it'll leave serious repaint traces from the first pixel that exceeded the screen before scrolling down to the bottom of the page
Tested against previous build. This occurs first in this snapshot! (Win8 x64 no HWA)

Please fix it ASAP. I can't keep on properly developing my extension because parts of the funcionality aren't visible anymore -> back to previous build :/

Not "opera:cpu page". Enter "opera:cpu" in address field, find tabs with High CPU load, close them and try minimize/restore again

If i start Opera and then connect to Internet, no pages are loaded. Had to restart Opera to be able to browse any website.

The two known (Windows) issues are annoying as hell. Please focus on resolving them, because it makes testing these builds painful.

What about M2 fixes?

do you know if 12.10 version replace 12.5 beta or if 12.5 still exist???
Khaled KhalilWednesday, October 24, 2012 2:48:26 PM
Alt key doesn't call the menu, that's an old issue in almost all 12.50/12.10 builds. 12.01 works fine even in the same -pd of next builds.

OS: Linux Mint mate, 32-bit.

The version of Opera named 12.50 will be released in the future. However, all of the work that we--testers--ever saw dedicated to 12.50 is now included in 12.10. Back about when the first Opera 12.10 beta candidate was released, it was stated that it--12.50--was renamed to 12.10. So, for all intents and purposes, 12.10 is what used to be 12.50. And it'll be a great release!
GreLIWednesday, October 24, 2012 2:49:25 PM
It still doesn't apply high dpi CSS rules on scaling (media queries like min-resolution:192dpi or 2dppx). Both IE and Firefox do (Win7).

great changelog...interesting! this evening i will test new builds (32 and 64 bit)

Thank you for you help, but it doesn't work. This problem happens since 3 builds.
minhoWednesday, October 24, 2012 3:01:56 PM
"Active next tab" is broken on linux. Sometimes the previous tab is focused instead the next tab. This behavior happens randomly, I cant reproduce it yet.

I have some random NSLs on linux yet.

I occasionally get this error. But another problem is misplaced attachment icon in mail list.
ktxgioWednesday, October 24, 2012 3:24:55 PM
Ok, i perform minimal test with sites that, with HWA and WebGL ON, were not showed properly in previous snapshot (this 2 sites are not showed correctly if HWA and Webgl are ON http://www.elilan.org/documenti/prova-flash and http://www.meteo.it) and i can say GREAT WORK! now sites are showed correctly
Opera x32 seems back faster like 2 snapshot ago.
I tested even problem with webmail that there's with Opera 32bit only (Opera 64 bit work perfectly) and problem persist:

"Opera 12 32 bit does't work fine like Opera 12 64 bit
dsk-365031 still present! only in 32 bit, 64 bit works great.
Problem with webmail...opera don't load page after log in at webmail (virgilio.it for example) like a NSL but with a blank page if opera is identified like opera, if i change identity (of opera) login is completed successfully: this ONLY with opera 12 32 bit (and opera 11.6x release)

No problem with opera x64 bit version or previous 11.51 32 bit (for example), log in is completed successfully and webmail page is loaded without problems even if opera is identified like opera"

Have u set the keyboard shorcut "1 ctrl" to "Go to speed dial, 1"

Usually I take "alt+number",It's so convenience.

Thank you!!
AdsnXyWednesday, October 24, 2012 3:40:16 PM
Last time I wanna know.

Is there any one know how to mute the sound that occurs when I pressing a ShortKeyboard(such as Alt+C) to excute a command(such as Close Page 1)...

It sounds like a VB MessageBox().

The sound mightn't exist in v11.5.
vux777Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:55:45 PM
So far so good. This snapshot saves Opera AdBlock settings and does not reload speed dial thumbnails when upgrading

This is bug in handling WM_SYSKEYDOWN messages (makes "ding" sound when pressing ALT shortcuts). It should not happen for ALT+something shortcuts that are defined (but it SHOULD happen for undefined ALT shortcuts). It needs to be fixed in Opera, there is no workaround for that.

1st of all.Thx.

I define as follow:
o alt----Preference
c alt----Close page,1
n alt----New page
a alt----Focus address bar
l alt----Lock page|Unlock page
# alt----Go to speed dial, #
....

Only the 1st defined shorcut (o alt) turns out mute.
Others occur the "ding" sound.

Meanwhile,I define "z" to "Minimize window",Certainly,there isn't "alt" Pressing.The speaker is mute too.

Maybe I should define one charKey instead of combo chart&alt.Then I tried "l" to "Lock page|Unlock page",It worked great.

Anyway,when focus on any object for input like address bar,one charKey won't work any more.

Thx again.

Some prev snapshots load SD thumbnails very very slow.
Fortunely,SD thumbnails does not reload when updating.

Tip:
Next time check those thumbnails in their path when u updating O.
I guess maybe u clear them when u clear ur pc temp files.
