More 12.02
It seems that the previous build with in-process plugins on 32-bit Windows was working pretty well, so here's another snapshot with a few more fixes. There are mostly crash fixes (I have not listed them all separately), and a couple of other fixes that we want to include in 12.02 as well.
Let us know how this build works.
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.

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) 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
Win 7 x64

For example just go to http://en.twitch.tv/ and play the stream on the frontpage.

I'm still curious why it doesn't work when upgrading my current install. I have Content blocking disabled, javascript enabled, flash plugin enabled and so on. What other settings could possibly interfere? I really don't want to reset my settings..

Page position not remembered
Steps to reproduce
===================
1. With "Fit to width" checked, open any page, scroll it.
2. Close the page.
3. Re-open closed page from trashbin.
Expected result
===============
Page to be opened at scrolled position.
Actual result
=============
Page always opens at the beginning (top).

Same regression in this build
No sound events for clicking and loading a page in this build. It works in 12.02-1552.

Please fix it!

whole update procedure went with no problem, no data is lost, all settings here... but this scrolling.. how can it not be considered as regression? it's really bad! almost like on one of other browsers out there... please opera team, fix this and give us back smooth scrolling we are used to.

On the other hand I don't know if you noticed my other commentary:
There is a graphical issue with open tabs. I'm using tabs on the left side of the Opera window. When there is enough of them there comes a moment when Opera tries to condense them more to something like a bars. In this very moment when you move cursor over tabs they go haywire. They blink, tabs are expanding and condensing over and over again. This way you can't properly choose a tab! When there is even one more or one less tab it doesn't happen. Please fix it as it's really getting on my nerves. Would be nice if someone would confirm it.

- Plugin
Toggling between "Small player", "Large player" and "Full screen" while playing a YouTube video, produces flickering and still occasionally causes the plugin (flash-11.2.202.238) to crash. The same happens when scrolling the page while the video is running. But unlike previous versions of Opera, the browser remains stable and doesn't freeze or crash.
- User Interface
When "Show Menu Bar" is disabled, the menu bar disappears as it should. But disabling "Show close button on each tab" brings back the menu bar in a crippled form, which it shouldn't ...
This is how it looked in 11.64.1403:

And this is how rotten it looks since 12 came out:
http://www.filedump.net/dumped/opera120215551345212688.png
All browsers that I know have trouble keeping up with the latest developments on the web and dealing with the gazillion of non-standard-compliant pages. This is why I would never be pushy about such issues. If I come across such an issue, I report it here in the forum and hope that it will be addressed in a future release of Opera. But for me the main reasons to use Opera are the good looks and the flexibility of its user interface. This is why I find regressions in the UI completely unacceptable, especially when they persist over a number of releases. I have reported the "menu bar" issue on numerous occasions and find it frustrating that nobody can be arsed to do something about it. Because of this, I'm still stuck with version 11.64.1403 and I am beginning to wonder if, after more than a decade of Opera, this is going to be my last ...

facebook is one of these, that scrolling is literally "horrible". all more advanced pages (simple pages too, but not that much, enough though to be a distraction) are tearing and sometimes pages are teared vertically because of random picture that is somewhere on the top of the site. All this happens when scrolling with mouse wheel (i even tried using different mouse), its not appearing when using side bars. Another site that these effects are visible is for example dobreprogramy.pl - no vertical tearing there, only horizontal and irregular jumping when going down with mouse wheel. that is what can be called bad scrolling performance, right?

There should be a YouTube video there. Win7 64-bit, Opera 32-bit . It is back to normal when I disable Hardware Acceleration or revert back to 12.01.

On the other hand the HWA (on OpenGL, as i use XP) is only marginally better: while the present build can run FullHD flash videos, it does while making the CPU run constantly at 100% on an Athlon 4000+ dual core; in the mean time the overall rendering speed is markedly slower than the one from the last build and way below what appears when HWA is disabled.

It has been fixed in last Opera Next version. Now is comparable to other browsers.

Well done, its not as fluent as on IE 9, but it seems both outlook and skydrive are working on this build at the moment -- so far.
thanks.

I don't use HA at all, and IMO scroll performance on The Verge is ok. Maybe it's not as fluid as Chrome or IE , but it's really close.
@WJ
HA is disabled by default for a reason. It's in alpha stage.
