Nice fixes in the RCs. A lot more than I'd expect for a minor update. I can't wait for it go final

Opera 10.63 final on sunday for ubuntu 10.10 release?
ALLIGATOR8. October 2010, 13:49
Yeaaah! Where are dot 7th build family??
sudos8. October 2010, 13:51
Oh, you silly Norwegians and your timezone not being the same as mine... You always drop a new build for download while I'm asleep!

but the builds are getting better and better! I just tried this one out, and I'm seeing a reoccurring problem that I've worked around in the past - When I press the backspace button on my keyboard or the Back button on the browser, the page moves back to the previous page and then reloads the page I just went back from on top of it.

it's not a problem that happens every time I use the machine - it's only on certain sites or if I have an abundance of tabs open. This bug happens on XP SP3 32-bit and Vista SP2 32-bit - I haven't seen this bug happen on a Win7 machine, but then again, I don't own one.

Either way, keep up the good work Desktop Team! there's no other bugs I have to report so far other than that - quite a relief on myself.

Even though I uncheckd the option to make Opera 10.63 my default browser, it is... I think this should be fixed before going final...
NutzShells8. October 2010, 13:54
http://antaranews.com/ won't be loaded properly since early 10.60 build, any chance this site will be fixed in the final release?

Site loads fine on IE/FF/Chrome, so far I've ben always using Neptune plugin to view this website using Opera. I *think* this issue could be fixed with updated browser.js, no?

Ohh...Thanks, Very cool.

What's with rather rude posts like these? Just wait for it and be patient, they will release one or they won't.

No videos playing here at SW (with On-demand plugins ON or OFF). Also, no placeholder shows in the blocked video player area, when enabled to display them.

I and many other users of PPC Macintosh are happy that Opera are making good usable 10.6x version of Opera - because this is last one we get.
ayespy8. October 2010, 19:52
Browser call to specific site from external app is fixed. Yay.

I also have not seen the sliced/repeated text lines on scroll wheel use so far. Also yay.
Alberto8. October 2010, 21:33
Last 2 (or 3) build cause my navigation veeery slowly.
I test last build (Opera 10.63 Release Candidate 2) and try to open single or multiple tabs but ..no answer!
: (
They try to load something from the network for many minutes.
After I re-install 10.70 build 9046.

Some ideas???

Cristian Rodriguez8. October 2010, 22:10
Hi everybody, I'm testing it and no problems until now...

Thanks!

The last 2 builds the msi installer has been broken.
I'm unsure what the problem is with them.

Issues:
There's some black lines that go across certain images around the net.

On-demand plugins is awesome, but it's buggy too.
there has been times where a webpage thinks that there is no plugin installed when on-demand is enabled+plugins enabled.

There is also times where flash plugins load automatically even with on-demand enabled.
Some adds on certain websites do this.

If you are in the middle of loading up a page, close the tab and try to do anything (goto home page..), it'll bring up a save file dialog.
Usually the file is called "default", but not always.

Edit:
On this page, the hotfile link doesn't work as a left click, sometimes...

Edit:
http://www.bevyofbabes.com/tgp/red-chair/julie-simone/indexc.htm
Try to open any of the images with a new tab, bg or fg baised.
It'll say forbidden.
If you left click on the thumbs to get to the full sized images instead, it'll work.
Likely some sort of referer issue.

And...
Again I want to say, open in a new window or bg window still doesn't work, I need this...

Can't confirm.
Opera begins to show the page instantly and re-renders, IE8 waits about 1.5 seconds and then shows whole the page at once, but both need 1.5 seconds until they are ready.
zoquete9. October 2010, 11:00
I lost session after restarting this snapshot.

Can you confirm?

The problem is related to the skin. Using the default skin navigation and typing in the search fields become extremely slow, but with this skin http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/info/?id=8321 it works perfectly.
It seems the problem is related to the integration of skin with Gnome 2.32.0

I'll have a look into this. Thanks for mentioning it. I suspect if there is an issue it might just be the default Maverick GTK theme as I have tested with the latest Gnome already.
Harry Lake9. October 2010, 14:08
Suddenly I find video clips on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ such as http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11506738 fail to lose either the rotating 'loading' dots or both the rotating dots and the Click to Play symbol. Anyone confirm?

The problem was with the Nouveau video driver installed by default by Maverick. I did the removal and installed the Nvidia driver and now everything is working perfectly.
Thank you for your attention.
ayespy9. October 2010, 17:09
Spoke too soon. The external call for browser to open a specific site only works sporadically.
Ferris9. October 2010, 17:25
Feels very solid for me. I have been watching the memory and cpu usage and its been behaving very well.

The bug regarding the security/PRIVACY issue described in the following forum-post is still present in this 10.63 RC 3516: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=738182

I submitted the bug as report DSK-314383 for the 10.62 3500 version, but is, unfortunately, also valid for the snapshot from this blog post.

I have tested this now (indeed I am using Maverick as I type this). I don't see any such issue. I did have some issues with Maverick itself immediately after installing the RC image but after installing all updates the system seems stable. Try running Opera with a clean profile and see if you still have this issue, i.e.:
```
opera -pd /tmp/opera_test_profile &
```

I think you have not seen my previous message. The problem was solved by removing the video driver Nouveau, as in previous versions of Ubuntu was not installed by default.
As the Maverick is being launched today, I believe that many users experience the same problem.
Thanks.

Did you have any problems with other applications and the Nouveau driver?
Josemelo10. October 2010, 15:47
No, only with Opera 10.6x and 10.70, the same symptoms: slow browsing and typing.
For example, the Google page was loaded by more than 8 seconds.
GPB10. October 2010, 18:21
Third time posting this over past couple months. This page does not render properly, columnar data is shifted incorrectly. Works fine in IE and Firefox. Please, can anyone confirm what I'm seeing? Thanks!

Here's a screen shot comparison of the problem:

Why are they still bothering with 10.6 releases when 10.7 has been out there for months now?? Surely the effort should now be in getting 10.7 to final release. It's a bit like M$ releasing new versions of IE7 ant the same time as IE8 except for security patches..

Why are you derailing the blog with inane comments like this?

Yes, 10.63 is a minor fix, probably with some security issues we don't know about yet.

Are you saying that Opera should delay these security fixes for several months?

Troll FAIL.

Maletherin10. October 2010, 22:17
@Crabman,

What's with being overly insensitive and not able to handle a question? They asked about 10.70, which might not belong here, but to label it rude isn't right.

Back to the topic:

I like 10.63 on my Ubuntu 10.10. 10.70 was too bleeding edge for me, and the fonts were terrible. Thanks to the devs for doing this release!
