Opera 11.61 snapshot on Friday 13th

January 13, 2012 · by Haavard

It's Friday the 13th, so what better day to stay safely at home and do a bit of testing?

Then again, they say that most accidents happen at home... I think I'll leave it to you to make the decision.

Safe testing!

    I have some trouble with the inline find functionality. (Not specific to this build but still...).
    1. Sometimes, it does not highlight the matching results.
    For example: If I search in this page for: "Please keep comments" the result will not be highligheted. Also while writing that phrase, the field alternates from white background to grey and back again with each character typed. (Try it with the rest of the warning's sentence because now it will match my post...)
    2. This is a weird one: If I search for "a. " (without the quotes) in this blog page: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/ then I get some non-highlighted result in the bottom page, that I can't really see. (Chrome and Firefox both report NO MATCH)
    3. And there are times that it does not match results with content that I KNOW exists on the page, and other browser find it (sorry, I can't find an example for this one right now)

    11.61, Ubuntu 11.04 32bit

  • InelukiFriday, January 13, 2012 4:15:18 PM

    @PraetorianX
    1: Confirmed, but rarely.
    2. The "a." works for me (Win7, 64bit) without the space, of course.

    The problem with the random number of unread messages that aren't there still persists. (IMAP)
    Clean install didn't help, and mark all as unread only works till the next start of Opera.

    Hello, there is a problem that began after version 11.52 Final (11.52 to everything is fine in older versions of the problem) the problem is that if for example go to the site http://music.yandex.ru/ #! / Artist/429869 when you to play music then nothing happens, and this same problem everywhere.

    2) Just after version 11.52 there were frequent crashes and falls browser with a large number of tabs when they just opened, and especially often crashes when for example I've included a web browser and launch it and open about 70 tabs and the browser on that ship their immediately 1) generally hangs heavily, and it is this that hangs for 1-2 minutes, 2) crashes completely and produces an error.

    As for the lockups and the like that if my house is a good computer Intel Core i7 and Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.

    Yes, but what happens with the space at the end? (in the main page of this blog, not the current one I mean). Doesn't it scroll down the page with nothing highlighted?

    I just tested it and the bug is also on Win7 x64 for me.
  • blaximaFriday, January 13, 2012 5:18:55 PM

    DSK-347793 Titlebar remains when entering fullscreen mode (XP)



    yes It is working for me now, thank you!

    and thank you for the 11.6x releases. In spite of all the whining, I'm glad to see you guys ironing out the wrinkles from this branch as it performs much better than the 12's.

    I use the tab close buttons outside of tabs, just below the window close button in the menu row. They are invisible in this build, though they are working when I click blind at the position.

    Can anyone confirm?

    Yes, but on my notebook-device with 2 GB RAM, Opera uses just about 400 MByte of RAM. The RAM-Usage is depending of how much RAM is available on the machine

    Yeah, that it does. But that should in part be due to there not being a space after the "a."

    Regression from previous build:
    When i downsize the window, or when i maximize the window while it isn't maximized, it takes (sometimes) a few seconds until O-Menu and Tab-Bar adjusts themselves again.

    Google+ Share doesn't work.

    1) Click +1 in any page.

    2) Click "add a comment".

    3) Nothing happens. You can't add a comment.

    I guess it's Google's fault, but you never know...

    Those of you who are complaining about memory usage, should try Firefox 9.0.1 it's much worse, according to the readings on Process Explorer.

    The video for the weather forecast doesn't load here: http://www.ky3.com/weather/

    It looks like it tries to load for a second before aborting and disappearing. I believe it worked fine in older Opera builds. It loads fine in other browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari, etc.). Using a clean Opera install without any extensions on Windows 7 x64 with a AMD Radeon HD 6970 GPU.

    Can anyone confirm crashes on exit with this build?
    The previous build was okay.

  • 7l2umSaturday, January 14, 2012 12:55:53 AM

    It is a change in the specification of Opera skin at which it is disgusted.(Fallback Background = 0 and Fallback Foreground = 0 in skins)
    It is not reflected though fallback was set with skin.ini because I did not want to use the icons in my skin(C-,C+,CoCo-Opera,CoCo-Light).Please stop it like 3rd party that easily changes the specification.And when is the bug of Japanese input fixed(DSK-351602)?Even if the bug report is submitted, Opera team doesn't answer.This is a critical bug.

    A problem with your skin is critical for the browser?? Get a grip, there's other things to take care of before they fix a freaking skin.

    Some of the posts lately, have been way below normal standard and it can't even be called feedback. Some complaint just to complaint I guess.

    Please stop that and give some real feedback instead. Thanks!!

    PS! Use the Bug Report if you want to be heard. https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/
  • 7l2umSaturday, January 14, 2012 5:45:18 AM

    @BetaMorph
    Have you created skin of Opera?
    Because Opera very often changes the specification, whether it is a specification or a bug cannot be judged from the author of skin.

    I cannot get any answer from Opera though I submitted the bug report many times about the Japanese input problem in the past.
    Of course, I posted it to an official forum of Opera.

    To whom should I report on the bug?
  • Marcodsp418Saturday, January 14, 2012 6:06:40 AM

    Ok, I didn't have nothing to loose after my previous post http://bit.ly/ytuOwA (it was about BSD!) so I wanted to give it a try before formatting everything. Well, it worked out! Thanks devs smile

    May be, this is a problem of your systemme configuration? (OS, drivers, etc.) I go to this site, click to choose and play music. Its play!

    Yes, it works on my win 7 x64 and on my Fedora 16 x32.
    It happens only on opensuse and it's an old problem. Very annoying. awww
