  I hope that all news sites that published stories about 10.50 will mention this important update.

  Ура !
  Hope that autoscroll in frames already works

• platonov8617. March 2010, 08:15

  No fixed bug rendering after leaving hibernation.

• StaticX17. March 2010, 08:16

  From this and previous builds when I want to go through the link, and opera isnt open at that time, it launches Opera with blank page, and from second click Opera opens that link.
  
  Win XP SP3

  Fastest version in SunSpider.

• nikitash17. March 2010, 08:21

  I will wait for final skipping this as we know how fast opera dev are.

  *sigh* AutoScroll in (i)Frames is not fixed?
  
  BTW: When using AutoScroll on Pages with Elements with "position:fixed" (like here) that sticky DIV is "jumping" and I get extraordinary CPU Load.
  
  And as before: Scrolling in Frames with opera:config#Extensions|FramesShowActive enabled give very high CPU-Load too.

• bachokocho17. March 2010, 08:29

  you can make my day

  Confirtmed on Win7 32bit as well. And I've noticed myself on other pages too.
  
  I'm actually a bit dissapointed in 10.50. Sure you made huge improvement on JavaScript and DOM rendering, but it doesn't feel as fast as before. Or maybe the right word is "smooth" as before. And I feel that a lot of small bugs are left making this release not so fun to use.
  
  I'm guessing it's because the new engines that things are a bit qwerky.

  Crash still apparent here when vertical scrolling:

  Disappearing mouse cursor on some pages with flash (affects ALL open tabs) DSK-288041
  
  Visit this page: http://revision3.com/tekzilla/arcade/opera-unite-the-diy-pogoplug-
  Let it load, and then go back to another tab. The mouse cursor will disappear.

  Warning dialog, when trying to close a window with pinned tabs, is missing.

• mohegan17. March 2010, 08:42

  So, if I understand, you don't care about the mac and unix users.
  We don't have a final 10.5 version and you will make a 10.51 version only for the windows users.
  In the past, opera was "multiplatform" !!

  I can assure you this is not the case! The reasons we are out of sync this time have been highlighted previously.

  Thanks, went to test ...

• bantigill17. March 2010, 08:49

  Hi Everybody,
  
  Voice feature is not working since 10.50. Can anybody confirm,please?
  I even reported it using bug wizard but it is still same.
  I know it is not an essential feature; I myself seldom use it but still it is a cool feature. And, it would be other thing if it would have been removed officially. But having to have to deal with unresponsive dialog box after clicking on "speak" is very annoying. It does not look professional and puts negative impression on new users. Being a loyal opera fan for more than four years, I don't want this to be the case. So, Please fix it or atleast associate some error message with it until it can be fixed.

  I'm wondering why it was omitted in "Aero integration"?
  It's so unbelievably confusing and many "less tech-savvy" users simply can't reach their Win7 Libraries, "Favorite links", Dropbox folders etc when using Opera.

  problem with flash and scrolling:

  Will have repaired to the expected release of version 10.51 also the mistake with "Server Name Completion"? I find this bug very irritating

  There's something with javascript that attaches to "onscroll", but I have no idea what for they do that.

• nimu_chan17. March 2010, 08:57

  Thanks !!

• Mitom17. March 2010, 09:01

  There are still problems with long-time waiting for displaying pages when it is necessary to access via proxy.
  
  "Enable HTTP 1.1" doesn't help much. And why now it would be necessary to use it to fix problems? Old versions (even very first alpha of 10.50) is working much better with proxy.

  Herwig: +1, especially for cache problem.

  I hope this is a change in functionality, and not a bug. If I want to go to something.com, I either type "something.com" + enter or "something" and then ctrl+enter. Simply typing "something" and pressing enter should trigger a search, IMHO.

• NickOnSync17. March 2010, 09:06

  You really should fix inner variables in menu.
  They still not working at all.

  Youtube NEW user interface does not work on Opera. It offers to upgrade Flash Player always instead of video.

  YouTube error, not Opera's fault. Go to site preferences and delete the cookies.

  yes, the cache problem is very annoying me. Especially when i'm watching flash video or play flash games, they are always reloaded from site, not from cache, but the cache size is 400 megs and there is enough space in cache.

• z@h3k17. March 2010, 09:23

  Thanks but Flash problem is still going on. When do you think to solve this problem exactly?

  If you remove big O from tab bar and close Opera on next start it crash. I don't need that big O because I use keyboard ALT.
  
  
  please confirm.

• Guest70317. March 2010, 09:28

  I upgraded from Opera 10.1 directly to the first snapshot of 10.51, however I have noticed that 10.5x lags considerably more with tab control, especially if you have many tabs open simultaneously, and start closing them quickly - something which I do several times a day. Opera 10.5x takes more than twice as long to close tabs than 10.1 did, I think the reason is partially because of the 'special effect' in 10.5x where the other tabs slide smoothly across to take the place of the tab you just closed. This is all very well, but when you want to close around 5 tabs per second, it makes it impossible.
  
  One other thing I thought I'd mention: where is the option to enable/disable multi-threading with 10.5x? If there is no way to disable it, there should be.

• Siddhartha17. March 2010, 09:28

  still no support of side scrolling with logitech mouses (with tilt scrollers)

  This has to do with the adverts. With fanboy's urlfilter, site doesn't crash. As soon as I disable content blocking, refresh page, then scroll...Opera crashes. So something with blogspot's ads is causing Opera to crash.

  Have you reported this bugs in the Bug-Reporting-Wizard? I guess 10.52 will address much more of the still present bugs. 10.51 seems to focus on stability.

• Dane17. March 2010, 09:40

  Can you *please* look into alternative page cycle mode (DSK-274447). It was reported back in december.
  
  Page cycling is still broken:
  
  
  I've been using this behaviour (no list + hierarchical cycling) since atleast Opera 7.23 - back then this was the default cycling behaviour for "Cycle without showing list".
  
  Without this, Opera is pretty much unusable for me, I cannot reproduce the parent - child tab cycling any other way.

  Why should the user be given that option? This is definitely something a user has not to care about.
