Improving the stability of Wahoo (12.00)
It has been a little over a week since the last Wahoo (12.00) snapshot, so here is a shiny, new update. 
As you might expect, internally work continues apace on Hardware Acceleration and other upcoming features. For this snapshot however the focus is improving stability and as such there are several key crash fixes.
In terms of feedback we primarily interested in any new regressions you notice since the previous Wahoo snapshot (12.00-1301), so please keep on topic and let us know if you find anything.
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.

This is not good. Sometimes I want to hide (but not close) Dragonfly so I make the height like 20px .. now I can't

Would also be nice if "new window" was added to the start menu thing.

1. It's still very unstable! In about 15 minutes I had 3 crashes in pages with java and flash contents! And sometimes it crashes with pop-ups too!
2. In this page I can't read products buttons (on mid-top): http://www.panasonic-batteries.com/eu/products/primary-batteries
3. On closing Opera, I sometimes get an error message again!
4. When I set startup "Show Start-up dialog"
Opera then opens this way:
Anyone going to confirm?

The image is uploaded but the browser becomes non responsive after that so i can't even copy the link to the uploaded image.
No such problem with 11.61

This issue is related to support webgl by opera? Is there any solution?

Looks like problem with loading external script, like page counter, like Flattr.

look for dimension this window ___^
I don't have so big monitor like this. I think, nobody have
I see only border transfer window, without any data insert or panel description.

All this windows I have alone - not opened in tab.
I have - Enable Hardware Acceleration = 0

Is there any fix coming ?

2.
Right after install, but after restart there's no favicon again
PropellertopMonday, February 20, 2012 3:20:11 PM
Tab icons went from full size to tiny: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3696/tabst.jpg
Then, after another restart it showed the X on every tab and somehow facebook didn't show up in the full windows and my EMAIL was behind it and you can see part of the email: http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/1900/tabs2.jpg
when attempting up login and work with the screen shots I had just taken, Opera seems to freeze and never comes back with the imageshack.us tab is open.
That's my report after using this version for like... 5 minutes.
Appears as if there's a windows within a window almost. The 2nd jpg illustrates that and the bottom of that tab 'windows' is distinct from the bottom of the browser window.
After some more checking, all those tabs are acting like detached tabs that aren't detached. Toolbars are greyed out for example. Weird.
