  Panel toggle at edge of window is still broken - clicking on it has no effect.

  Congratulations with your new job at Opera and welcome.
  
  Thanks for the new snapshot. It looks like things are starting to come to their usual speeds again.....

• marbrossWednesday, February 1, 2012 4:15:50 PM

  Nice to meet you Dustin and welcome to team

• D1sasterp1eceWednesday, February 1, 2012 4:17:15 PM

  Nice for getting a job at Opera, congratulations and best wishes to you!
  
  As for the snapshot, a first impression is that the panel edge toggle still does not work and , at least for me, this is a big enough usability issue.
  
  First things first, but I'll be testing this snapshot further for UserJS issues that's been bugging me in previous builds.

• Andrea4ndreaWednesday, February 1, 2012 4:17:36 PM

  The panel toggle still doesn't work!
  
  Is it possible to have it totally working back?

  Thanks for the clarification.
  So can we expect it within the next two or three builds?

  As always: no promises. Could be months or tomorrow. (Which is why we don’t make any promises.) It is part of a larger task which will not be released until it’s ready.

• em-a-ilWednesday, February 1, 2012 4:25:31 PM

  I am still waiting for the autoupdate. I hope that it will be installable fast. My browser still says that I use the newest version.

  all nice, but still no favicons in address bar...
  Can we at least get semi official answer if this is temporary regression or intended "feature"? ;-)

  not fixed

• DeithriandeithrianWednesday, February 1, 2012 5:57:43 PM

  Woow! Amazing job you guys
  It took me only two minutes to type in my username and pass at the login screen.
  And Google+ loads in only 55 seconds!
  A new tab gets created for only 5 seconds and switching between tabs takes 3 seconds!
  Great job on the CPU usage too! Now Opera uses only 98% of my dual core!
  I'm just amazed how do you guys do it
  Oh and scrolling! Scrolling is a breeze now! Only half a minute to reach the bottom of the comments here! Great job!
  Congrats!

• JackWagonWednesday, February 1, 2012 6:27:09 PM

  "DSK-256608 Spell-checker incorrectly shown as enabled for single-line input fields"
  
  I love you! Thanks. It's nice to know you are listening.
  
  Hardware acceleration is rather sluggish on this build and the prior one as well. The UI is dramatically faster with HW acceleration disabled.

  You didn't fix all my edge cases and pet issues yet!
  
  Sorry, just channeling some standard comment for snapshots, just to get you used to them. Nice one fella

• kapsiWednesday, February 1, 2012 6:37:33 PM

  This snapshot made all my extensions stop working.
  
  edit: Cancel that, I just started Opera with Javascript turned off. Still, extensions should work after disabling the Javascript...

  Yes they should. That way, JS could be toggled on a site-by-site basis in Site Preferences.

  There is a noticable pause/stall when moving away from a current page that contains anything flash... This I dont get, even flash games, not even hardware accel items...
  
  Plugins on Demand seem to be blocking certain authenticated pages again and still load flash in the background instead of WAITING until it's clicked... This one's a doozy...

• blaximaWednesday, February 1, 2012 7:12:55 PM

  This build is completely unusable for me. Just like the last build, after upgrading from 11.61 it crashes on start every time when a session is enabled. When choosing to restart without tabs, unite or extensions it crashes and the crash dialogue displays a link to the last open tab/page. This even happens when choosing to not restart at all and just trying to open Opera
  
  This was a problem for many with the previous build and should be mentioned as a known issue since it has not been addressed.
  
  

• nkumarWednesday, February 1, 2012 7:25:42 PM

  Right-Clcking on any popup window title (Like appearance settings,preference setting popup windows) shows me visual mouse gestures. This issue was resolved in the previous snapshot and added back again.

  "DSK-340816 Address field focus lost on restart when installing extensions with a toolbar button"
  
  So I've also tested with clean install and this is what I found out:
  It keeps focus on the address field only when I don't remove search field (which I do since I don't need it). When the search field is removed, Opera stil loses focus on the address field after starting with extensions buttons present.
  
  Please, work on it a bit more!

  I've noticed flash issues ever since 11.60 (I'm on Win 7 x64). I know flash videos persisting when a tab was closed was a big issue during the snapshots leading up to the first Ragnarök release. They fixed the major issues before it was released, but I don't think it was ever perfectly fixed.
  
  I still notice a lot of flash videos jittering when you scroll down a webpage, and some flash content persists briefly when closing a tab. However, this doesn't happen with all websites with flash videos or flash content, and I haven't noticed any pattern. One page that always has the issue is TSN's Ice Chips. The team logos always remain briefly after closing the tab.
  
  I'd assume it is a known issue since it is fairly obvious, but perhaps it is a difficult fix or maybe it's something that will be fixed when they have out of process plug-ins, so they are just putting it on the back-burner for now.

  Extensions shouldn't be working at all after disabling JavaScript. Think on what they are based on... well, yes, JavaScript.

  +1!! This is very annoying for me too. After Opera has started I always have to wait a few seconds before I can type in the address field

  Strange bug.

  You should explain that you are using a customized toolbar... adding extra buttons next to the menu button has resulted in various not-so-pretty looks in previous versions of Opera. But this effect is new I think

  Yes. This is reproducable. Start a flash video (e.g. on YouTube) and do a single left click on an empty space in the tab bar - the flash video stops for a moment.

  Or when extensions' buttons are moved to other toolbar ("Hotlist floating" for me).

  Congrats to you, Dustin! How does it feel to be in the belly of the beast, after all these years on the outside. Enjoying that 4:30pm sunset in Oslo yet?
  
  Nice improvements with this snapshot.
  
  The smarter suggestiions are welcome.
  
  Please consider adding an "extended" drop-down mode. My Opera viewport is sized on my MBP display down to the bottom, to 1050 px. Currently, the suggest drop-down sometimes says "Show 4 more" at the bottom of the list. Maybe have the list dynamically size to 75% or 90% of the viewport. Requiring a click to show 4 more results is wasted user action, I think.
  
  Semi-related: The addr bar drop-down could be show more results in Opera for iPad, also.

  I've never noticed that before, but I can reproduce it.
  
  However, that's not what I meant by jittering. For example, notice on this page there is an embedded YouTube video. When you scroll the page, the video, whether it is playing or not, jitters (or maybe shakes is a better word). As it shakes you can see white appear along the border of the flash element. Also, when you close the tab, the video element will persist for a few seconds after the rest of the page disappears.
  
  I'm not entirely sure this only happens with Opera, though. When you scroll with IE9 the video sort of shakes a bit too, however it isn't as obvious since no white appears as the video scrolls. Also the flash element doesn't remain when you close the tab like it does in Opera.

  Can you start a blog so other Opera fans can harass talk to you and help make Opera #1.
