We will get back to you with Unix and Mac builds in a future snapshot.

    The problem with your bug list is there are no bug numbers (like DSK-12345). That leads me to believe you simply complained about them and didn't file them properly. *sad face*

  • greenag17. February 2010, 14:04

    Thanx!!! :smile:

    I've reported some of them and the rest is here about 5 times on every page, so I guess that someone else reported them =)

  • MyOpera team, please fix this!17. February 2010, 14:13

    Known issues: Geolocation is still disabled.

    Complaining in the comments is not the same as reporting a bug. There is one site where you can report bugs. This is it --> https://bugs.opera.com/wizard . The page you're reading right now is not the same as that page. Good day, sir.

    TinyMCE still is not working correctly.
    If I want to add a link it calls a dialog which is always empty (
    http://files.myopera.com/callia/files/tinymce.jpg).

    You can try it there - http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php

    Is it tinyMCE bug or Opera's? :right:

    Do you mean that you fixed the crashed in this snapshot or should we search crashes in this one?

    However my opera crashes if I close a pdf-file. Is this a known issue? Confirmations? I send a crash-report but didn't filled a bugreport yet.

    Can't even scroll on Gmail. (Confirm ? Windows Xp sp3)

    Crash on m.lastpass.com fixed.:yes:

    I asked this on the beta version comments also. Is mouse gestures working properly? The context menu comes up everytime for me.

  • twili17. February 2010, 14:30

    Thanks!

    One Issue I have since 10.5 beta:
    Positions of items in personal bar don't get saved after moving them. (I use around 50 entries in 3 rows)

    Submitted DSK-281705.

  • Hector Macias Ayala17. February 2010, 14:35

    Are you a Leaether Strip fan perhaps?

  • c197317. February 2010, 14:36

    :yes: Thanks!

    Some issues I see:

    - context menues still have no icons (edit: in 16 bit mode)

    - in download manager I have no context menu when right-clicking on link in "From"-line

    - when status field is placed next to it, address field shrinks when moving mouse over long links or table cells with title attribute during loading the page

    XP SP3

    'a few' bugs solved, but those usually mean even more different bugs, that were hidden or prevented by the previous one!! :D

  • micfey17. February 2010, 14:44

  • Joonas Lehtolahti17. February 2010, 14:58

    Nice. Naturally crashers get priority when closing in the final release but I hope that before 10.50 goes final many of the non-crashing bugs will be fixed.

    The main concerns for me are related to Mail and Feeds, the data seems to become corrupted very easily at least on my case (the mail database is originally from Opera 8.5 or Opera 9.0 times and has been through all the updates all the way to 10.50).

    Bug reports have been filed for all issues except some feeds becoming corrupted, getting randomly content from other feeds or mail. I cannot find a reproducible case for this, so I have not made an official bug report of it.

    EDIT: Look at the reply above mine. Talk about feed corruptions...

    In any way, keep up the good work! It's appreciated :smile:

  • Saurabh Kumar17. February 2010, 15:00

    Coupled with the gmail problem I specified above, this problem still exists: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=391791
    making mail unusable for me :frown:

  • Herwig17. February 2010, 15:00

    @ BS-Harou - thanks for keeping this list. There are a few more bugs, like these ghost windows when launching Opera, or problems with scrolling in the print preview - none of these seem to be fixed either.

  • lokezdc17. February 2010, 15:01
