  New change log. Great

  Recent Mac builds seem to not make my Opera installation running any quicker, despite having hardware acceleration. I'll be checking this build out tonight.

  Thanks!

  Reloading Speed Dial Tab moves all speed dial extension to end of dial.

  Please confirm.
  
  To reproduce this bug:
  1. Add any Speed Dial extension. https://addons.opera.com/redirect/speeddial-extensions/
  2. Drag extension thumbnail to any position before web page thumbnail
  3. Reload Speed Dial tab by pressing tab Reload button or keyboard shortcut.

  opera:gpu informed, that the OpenGL-backend is not supported on my machine because of severe drawing issues on Intel cards.
  Then I enabled HWA on the DX-backend, which is supported and working pretty nicely and it showed "OpenGL Backend not supported Unknown error" below the DX-infos.
  Having switched off HWA again, it keeps telling me "unknown error"
  
  P.S: That new loading indication looks better without the border around it. Well done
  However, the whole bar around the address field looks clumsy. I had the impression, that it got bigger, when I switched on HWA and it stayed like this even after turning it off again...
  Why don't you narrow that border a bit? It would fit so much better to the menu-button and the heights of the tabs:

  64bit email fetch still crashes opera ..... unusable without an email that works ..... 32 bit ok

• MalgaladThursday, May 17, 2012 12:30:26 PM

  And still wrong kerning on DX HWA...

• earth01Thursday, May 17, 2012 12:32:11 PM

  Thanks for the renderer preference. HA works perfect with OpenGL, which is not the case of DirectX (and will probably never be).
  
  Otherwise, there's still a few skin bugs :
  
  - The progress bar is not well-aligned when it reaches xxx/xxx
  - Set the tab bar to the bottom, and expand it to have thumbnails. -> The menu button jumps on hovering it.
  - There's one pixel more at the top of the address bar than at the bottom. (new)

• sluwreacThursday, May 17, 2012 12:34:13 PM

  Please confirm. WIN XP SP3
  
  Summary: opera it is closed if to activate "menu bar" and to press button "Closed Tabs"
  
  When following the steps described above:
  1. open Opera
  2. press "button O - Show Menu Bar"
  3. press button "Closed Tabs"
  
  What do you expect to happen?
  Should open menu Closed Tabs
  
  Hat actually happens?
  opera it is closed

• OlliOlli91Thursday, May 17, 2012 12:35:56 PM

  Progress bars on the bottom don't work with enabled HWA (OS X).
  
  This is what Opera looks like when hovering over the login button here at my Opera. Happens on several sites here - just with enabled HWA.http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/125/bildschirmfoto20120517u.jpg -

  Nothing new then, is known by Opera devs

  I just upgraded to Opera beta 1417. Norton 360 said that gstreamer.dll contained the threat WS.Reputation.1 and removed the file. What does this affect?

• exzentrikThursday, May 17, 2012 12:48:35 PM

  The fonts under DirectX-HWA are very fuzzy here. Here's an example (left DX, right OGL):

  Hi Guys,
  
  AND THE DICTIONARIES still not loading on M2.

  Only English US only is available.
  
  You guys need to post a fix and/or a work around to that, as no one WORKING as we do with Opera mail is happy about that.
  
  Bes regards

• Andrew FrazierAndrewDFrazierThursday, May 17, 2012 1:10:29 PM

  Plugins not recognised in Windows build
  
  If I leave them enabled there's masses of sites that won't load; I have to have plugins disabled to make the browser usable - those same sites will then load but don't work as intended because they rely on plugins.
  
  Bugs DSK-361706 and DSK-361989; they seem to be closely related and were fixed for Mac a few builds back.

  Mostly on sites with Flash, Opera freezes and then I can't do anything. If I minimize/maximize it, everything turns black. I can't use Opera again until I restart my PC.

  "Mostly on sites with Flash, Opera freezes and then I can't do anything. If I minimize/maximize it, everything turns black. I can't use Opera again until I restart my PC."
  
  Yep, got some of that, not as drastic, but majorly on clicking a link,opening a book mark, or hitting a speed dial thumbnail the page sped around forever without loading (like Chrome actually).
  If you stop the page reloading it can occasionally load itself very slowly or just come up with an error message

• sifurThursday, May 17, 2012 1:25:24 PM

  Guess Intel GPUs still giving you guys trouble ... Enabled hardware acceleration and chose directx in renderer preference; opera:gpu says:

  Very impressed with the smoothness of this release, it feels like a totally different web browser.

  Actually the new build introduced new HWA a new bug on my Mac (OSX 10.7.4, HD 3000). After browsing for a couple of minutes, the tab and title bar pops in and out on site interaction and scrolling (DSK-363946). Additionally, the whole window flashes on reload.

• earth01Thursday, May 17, 2012 1:41:59 PM

  Little notice (but not your fault ) :
  
  On my computer, when I go to http://www.lefigaro.fr/ with the x64 flash plugin activated -> Everything crashes, the plugin container, the browser, the graphic pilot and the video card
  
  HA with OpenGL Win x64, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530.

• NoFanboyNofanboyThursday, May 17, 2012 1:47:53 PM

  Still crashes immediately on start-up when HWA (DirectX) is enabled.
  Windows 7 with Intel GMA 3150 chipset.
  
  Info panel shows "Unknown document" only if the panel placement is configured to free/undocked.

  Hardware acceleration is not yet fully optimized. Highly optimized software backend is probably faster.

• adioniThursday, May 17, 2012 1:56:34 PM

  I'm noticing an odd bug with this build on my mac. On websites that provided a pop out calendar interface, the year is defaulting to 2148 (i.e. amtrak.com , orbitz.com , etc. )
  
  I verified that my system clock is set properly & the same calendar interfaces show the correct year in Firefox.

• dizdizlexikThursday, May 17, 2012 1:56:39 PM

  No progress bar for me:

• GeorgoSKThursday, May 17, 2012 2:06:13 PM

  This build certainly improves on some of the HWA font issues, but there's still a short way to go - example: http://www.le.cz/cms/43-cestujte-rychle.html#IQ

  http://sheepcyclone.blogspot.fr/2012/05/collection-of-photos.html
  reported as DSK-364013
  
  these bugs still not fixed :
  
  DSK-362047 :: RTL characters distinguish

  DSK-357460 :: default skin allignment problem
  
  Win Vista @ Dell inspiron 1545
  HWA off and default settings with all bugs
  
  why dont you developers make attentions to the bugs introduced many times and some of them for years but can be fixed with one or two lines of coding and not difficult ? in this way users will be disappointed ;

  With a french UI, the master password dialogue doesn't display any text (HWA on and off). Can anyone confirm ?

  1. No problems with pressing "trash" button with menu bar enabled
  2. Button arrows. As i can see, the bottom control is a standart combobox while the right ones are custom controls. So i don't consider it error.

• EricJHThursday, May 17, 2012 2:19:45 PM

  Thanks for the release and testing now.
  
  I got tripped by the same title as the previous blog post. So I initially did not realise that there was a new snapshot until I saw it posted in the Opera topic at the Comodo forums.
