So H/W fixes will be included in 12.5?

This page freezes Opera in all the 12.10 builds (but not in 12.50): http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soziales/us-notenbank-chef-ben-bernanke-will-amerikas-wirtschaft-stuetzen-a-855726.html Everything else on Spiegel.de seems to work fine. Using x64, on x64 Win8 CP, HWA off.

This would be great because in windows Opera causes BSOD when I turn HW Acceleration on. This is very bad.
alekksanderFriday, September 14, 2012 12:14:52 PM
as for me this could be rc as well (can't wait for regular, non-next installers, thats why;)). not hoping to see most annoying (for me) bugs fixed in 12.10, but what i see here is pretty satisfying. will report if i find any regressions from previous builds. thanks!

Wow.. Unexpected, I thought we will only receive new builds next week.

Confirmed

Additionally Mouse gestures fast forward sometime goes to wrong page (heise.de/newsticker hit a news and use fast forward it will fail every now and then redirecting to another site)

Keyboard usage with Roundcube is broken.

..
..

Memory Leaks, instabilities (crashed pretty often using "back-gesture" not sure if still in this build)

I must say that i am not too happy with the latest builds.

Still NSL on youtube (DSK-372418). Are there any fixes for this in the pipeline?

Has opera:config#Network|SpdyPingTimeout replaced opera:config#Network|HTTPLoadingDelayedTimeout ?
Or has it just gone ?
XenoAntaresFriday, September 14, 2012 12:51:48 PM
Ctrl-Shift- shortcuts still not working*.

Haavard et.al., I wonder how you get along without Ctrl-Shift-i available to open Dragonfly? — Or am I alone with this problem? Asking anybody for confirmation here.

• WinXP/32bit, HWA off
* + - single key shortcuts do not work reliably, either. Aditionally, I use a customized keyboard layout (Microsoft's KLC): some dead-key-combos don't produce the expected results, e.g. acute+AltGr-Dash, which should produce an em-dash (—) but instead leads to an en-dash (–), the character, that should appear upon AltGr-Dash without previous acute dead key.

I actually have the same issue on Vista/32bit. And yes, not being able to fire up Opera Dragonfly is quite annoying, particularly since I'm product managing it...

For the curious, this is DSK-371561 in our bug tracker...but strangely, nobody else seems to have been able to reproduce this so far...

don't transfer preferences if you are using that backup tool (osie OP-backup)

OK. Worked after clean install - THANKS. But how do you transfer Wand and Form data?

Using the search field (for google or else) leads to an immediate crash after pressing enter. Very unstable builds, even the 12.50 builds were more stable. (OS X 10.8.1)
kangarrouFriday, September 14, 2012 1:58:07 PM
WTF!! I tried to delete a theme and windows crashed, and rebooted.

The situation was this: The other day I installed various themes. Today I wanted to see if the performance improved going back to the default one, but when I clicked the default windows crashed, and then after restarting, I wanted to delete all themes and now when y try to delete one, windows crashes.

The last theme that I -tried- to remove (but it's still) there it's called "Aero", I'm not going to try to reproduce it again (I crashed 3 times).

As a long time Opera user (since 2.3 or something like that) I am really disappointed the Single folder bookmark view bug (DSK-362502) is not fixed yet. On all platforms I cannot navigate deeper than Projecten -> FFmpeg -> PHP 5.4. So on Windows, Ubuntu, MAC OSX Snow Leopard I am stuck with Opera 11.60/61.

See http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1353052&t=1347633077&page=1#comment12163532

Note for Rijk: if you navigate with another bookmarks view to 4 levels deep it works in that branch. However, when you try to navigate in another branch to 4 levels deep, it will not work.
