  Thank you for your hard work!

• mrd14. March 2011, 13:32

  The issues causing crash on startup would be the things causing the crash/restart endless loop, yeah?

• maexl14. March 2011, 13:34

  Thank you! Although I didn't have issues causing crashs on startup or in the installer the installation was now faster again.

• Howking Heying14. March 2011, 13:39

  Can't see any video on youtube(flash) - only white field and sound. OSX 10.6.6

• Siddhartha14. March 2011, 13:39

  just downloaded the previous snapshot, and there goes the new one

• frogstomp14. March 2011, 13:40

  please, don't forget to include unite issue present in 11+ ; the entries are not stored; if you add a unite service and edit it's path, name.. it will not get stored.
  
  this fix is a must before another stable.

• Øyvind Østlund14. March 2011, 13:41

  @mrd:
  
  Are you seeing this "restart-loop" with the current snapshot? Or the previous one?

  What's odd with this blogpost? A Linux user (and Linux QA employee) announcing a snapshot with only Windows fixes
  
  I'm just going to wait a little longer for the beta Is it right the gradient support mentioned in the beta announcement announcement isn't in these snapshots yet? Or have I missed something?

• mrd14. March 2011, 13:44

  It was the previous snapshot. I'm unfortunately not at the PC that had the broken Opera install so can't test to see if it fixes it yet (my house is being repaired at the moment).
  
  If I could say it fixed it I'd post but can't at the moment; hence why I was asking. Fingers crossed though...

• René-Gilles Deberdt14. March 2011, 13:45

  Alrighty...
  
  Results for me:
  
  - 2020: works great. Found no bugs in the time I tested it.
  
  - 2033: works well, but at startup, the interface is unresponsive -- it doesn't refresh the GDI or something. It's stalling like that for a while, I can't access my tabs (about 240 of them), I can click the address bar, and if I switch to another app and come back, nothing shows up. After a few minutes, it comes back.
  
  - 2039: refresh issue is fixed, but it crashes after a couple of minutes while still loading the tab list. Also, I noticed that 'Native' types of skins are broken. (On Windows XP SP3.) If I select the default skin it works, if I then select a native skin it works too, but as soon as I switch to another app and come back, the toolbars are shown in black. The Stop/Reload button shows both button states at the same time. If I hover a button, its background is restored to normal (only for that button though.) I went back to 2039 then 2020 this morning.
  
  - 2040: crash issue is fixed. Native skin bug remains, though. I can live with it, but it's ugly...
  
  Also, I got logged out of my.opera.com and the login page doesn't offer to fill in my password, even though it's stored. I tested on my website and I have no such problem so I suppose something changed over at My Opera's cookie/session handling.

  Thank you!!

• BS-Harou14. March 2011, 13:49

  When I want to qucikly remove more of speed dials I have to always move with mouse (at least one pixel) to focus the remove button.

• Marky14. March 2011, 13:57

  Thanks for your great work:-)
  
  In speeddial the preview pictures not scaled by 100%; in my OPERA the speed dial previews are very large and OPERA only shows a little bit of the webpage

• Satan D. Lucifer14. March 2011, 13:59

  still crashes at the extension page(opera)
  
  the steps is still the same
  
  hoping it will be fix before beta or final

• 1st SEA14. March 2011, 14:02

  It still crashes in email with these steps:
  
  - open emails, folder received;
  - clcick column "sent" (twice) to sort by time received descending to bring latest to the top;
  - select top email line;
  - then click folder "Spam".
  It crashes immediately. And always. Very easy to reproduce.

• mrd14. March 2011, 14:06

  Is there a problem with this build or long standing, with saving of speed dial into Link?
  
  I wanted to transfer my Opera Link stuff to another account so just logged out of Link in this snapshot. Then logged into the new account. The bookmarks and notes synced across onto the new account but the speed dial did not.
  
  Known issue?
  
  //edit to add//
  
  Just heard from mitchman in the #snapshot that SD sync in Link is disabled at the moment. So that's that answered. Maybe should go as a known issue for the moment?

  Same issue here win7 x64
  
  Also cannot validate (W3C) only the first opened "localhost" tab. (i have a httpd running locally with virtual hosts)
  When i reorder the tab that caused problems, it validates, but then the first to come stops validating. The remote pages have no problems.
  eg.
  I have 3 tabs opened:
  1. http://opera.com -> validates
  2. http://somelocalhost/ -> error
  3. http://somelocalhost/something -> validates
  
  and
  
  1. http://opera.com -> validates
  2. http://somelocalhost/something -> error
  3. http://somelocalhost/ -> validates
  
  or 2 tabs:
  
  1. http://somelocalhost/ -> error
  2. http://somelocalhost/something -> validates
  
  seems the first tab do not upload correctly
  I get
  Software error:
  Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/local/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check line 564.
  
  For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

• Яскевич Кирилл14. March 2011, 14:21

  +1 RSS to crash. No mail change, but crashes opera last two build.

  Windows 7 x64.

• belthur14. March 2011, 14:48

  Thank you. I didn't have the startup "loop crash" earlier but it started today morning and drove me insane.
  
  Thanks for fast response. I am pretty sure my installation bombared your servers with crash reports

  And after crashes the desktop team URL-s with anchor doesn't load (just a blank page).

• flm14. March 2011, 14:53

  Please give this build a spin and let us know if the crashes you were experiencing are resolved.

  
  Yes, those crashes are resolved now, thank you.

  Strange, I first tried to go there by right-cliking on my extensions, then "Manage" then "Get new extensions" and it didn't crash like you said. But then I clicked on your link, and it crashed when I hovered the items !? Also, as I had two tabs opened with the same content (Opera extensions, I noticed a little unexplainable difference, look at these captures: http://simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-2011-03-14-154904 http://simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-2011-03-14-154923 -> look at the "Sécurisé" (=secured) button... - Also, the 100% CPU bug is still present when hovering this comment box (in the blog) - And some Opera blog pages don't load (blank pages). For example, my browser is set to reopen with last tabs, so if I close it now on this current page (http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2011/03/14/important-crash-fixes), next time I'll launch Opera, I'll get a blank page. And reloading it won't work.

• Forstyrr14. March 2011, 14:55

  on ubuntu 10.04 lts i have stable hanging right after start. since last 2-3 snapshots. only 10.50 ragnarok works.

• ahoj123414. March 2011, 14:56

  opera´s bug on czech diacritcs text
  
  
  edit: for example on URL : https://www.icq.com/karma/login_page.php
  but this bug is not on all sites

• yossariane14. March 2011, 14:57

  Crash on reload all.
  Last three builds first few hours I cant post or advanced on this page. It just open empty page, so I fire up opera 11.01

• Mark14. March 2011, 15:00

  Shouldn't the fact that Speeddial does not sync be mentioned on the know issues?
  
  It's quite a biggie.

• LaVieille14. March 2011, 15:03

  DSK-330948 (opera gets randomly stuck in a crash/reboot loop, deleting bookmark.adr makes it work again) seems solved : I can now use my bookmark.adr without a problem.

  Same here, it began randomly this morning on previous build. It might just be a detail, but I used "sorting by date of creation" option in my bookmarks before it started crashing (I don't change this setting, usually).
  
  Anyway, my crashing issue is resolved too, thank you.
  

• Gousti Fruit14. March 2011, 15:04

  I share my Opera profile folder between Windows and Linux; I noticed one bug, I think it comes from the Linux part: sometimes opera creates files named "pstorage\xx\yy\zzzzzzzz" in my profile folder, and yes, that's how the file is named, it's not a file zzzzzzzz in a folder called yy in a folder called xx in pstorage ! And this file is impossible to delete under Windows (7). I have to boot into Linux to be able to delete it.
  See included screenshot: there is a pstorage folder at the top (normal) and a file called "pstorage\00\12\00000000" (abnormal)...

  thanks big improvement from previous build indeed

• Øyvind Østlund14. March 2011, 15:11

  @mrd:
  
  When/If you get a chance to test it, please report a bug if it still crashes. We hope those installer crashes are solved. If it still crashes we would love to have reports on this. Thanks.

  Thanks, no crashes.
  

• tisazalay14. March 2011, 15:22

  The only crashes that I had are still there (the M2 crashes), but the crash logger is not firing up after them so I don't know how to submit a useful bug report. The (known) issues are all there.
  Right now I'm on W764bit SP1, 11.10 Alpha 2040.

• Goran Konjevic14. March 2011, 16:08

  now works fine

• mark hammond14. March 2011, 16:09

  Lost speed dial image from a fritzbox router. All other images remain fine.
  ubuntu 10.10, deb 32 bit
  

• Amund14. March 2011, 16:10

  DSK-328884 (Content blocker crashes when Opera Link is enabled)
  Doesn't crash any more, up it won't synchronize either. It just keeps being busy. I might have to delete some files.
  
  On regular basis this build runs smooth, but I'm guessing the booth at SXSW will be a bit nervous when showing it off
  
  Good luck

  Latest Flash?
  Did you try disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash?
  
  Rightclick into the (non visible for you - SNCNR) Flash video, then "Settings" and the left icon at the bottom of the settings...

  Opera now crashes every time when I close it.
  It does not matter if I open pages after starting it or just start and close. It just crashes.
  I sent several crash logs.
  
  WinXP SP3

• highstream14. March 2011, 16:34

  Some (many?) skins broken with this build, as with the last (2039). Of the several that are default or downloaded, Windows Native, Windows Native Thin and werwolf lobo argentino nativo 2.0 are all broken. Symptoms are either black backgrounds or doubled text in the toolbar. There's also the square borders around toolbar icons that don't disappear when running the cursor across. I don't know how to insert a screenshot image here, but that and one with the borders and doubled text are the first two toolbar shots I've uploaded to http://tinypic.com/a/2mb0w/1. All these symptoms seem to clear up after another page or tab is loaded. But then the duplicate icon text returns in awhile. For comparison, the 11.50 build also starts with a black toolbar background upon Opera starting, but it's only while the home page starts to load; then it corrects as loading completes. (xp/sp3)
  
  Re Speed Dial reloading: Are you saying that those who, for example, see all the thumbnails showing numbers and loading at first opening each session will have to go back to 11.01 before installing 11.10 final?

• João David14. March 2011, 16:36

  With this build, Opera is not remembering the sorting order I have on my Feeds. I have sorted by Date, with the most recent at the top. Every time I close the Feeds tab, Opera does not remember my sorting setting.

• maexl14. March 2011, 16:36

  Can someone confirm high RAM-usage @Win7 Prof 32bit (also happens on a new installed OS) since 2005? After 1-2h Opera uses up to 1,5GB RAM which sometimes causes a crash --> DSK-330968.
  

• Bugfixer14. March 2011, 16:37

  No crashes anymore (WinXP Pro 32Bit). Good job.
  
  I have an idea for the Speed Dial. For an example i have 4 columns on my Speed Dial and it fits very good but i wanna have 5 columns, the last column disappears out of the browser window. The problem can be solved when the Speed Dial image zoom automatically smaller. The Speed Dial layout will fit perfect in every situation.
