    @Hawk1902 Saw your other messages (master bug is actually CORE-46518). Anyway, thanks for the heads up but you can stop mentioning it every snapshot now. wink

    It didn't load in 11.64 either. We have more fixes lined up and we are still very interested in regressions. However it is unlikely that we will fix that issue before the 12.00 release now, as we are quite close.

  • ratinoperaFriday, June 1, 2012 8:20:09 AM

    So far is better than before but still skin problem exists!



    PS. I know how to made workaround (change 2 settings in skin that I write about before) but it's not a solution.

    Please read the known issues.
  • ratinoperaFriday, June 1, 2012 8:22:35 AM

    I know Ruari, but... I'm not sure is this the same issue that I write about. Skin fixes was made before (in changelog) but nothing was changed in real (or that was different skin fixes maybe).

  • danielmmmmFriday, June 1, 2012 8:34:17 AM

    Is DSK-357099 (tabs locked on Opera start) fixed in this release? Well, I opened Opera 2 times and tabs were not locked. Hope this wasn't just coincidence ...

    But http://www.heinzelnisse.info still doesn't work (DSK-364551).

    "DSK-361614 Don't zoom Speed Dial items beyond 100% when in Auto mode"

    Why this fix? It was fine on big resolutions with a low number of speeddials?
  • RX-3200Friday, June 1, 2012 8:43:05 AM

    please, fix links to "Latest Release Candidate" :

  • MichałEmdekFriday, June 1, 2012 8:50:42 AM

    Really fast pace, RC is coming soon or something (beta2 could a good idea too probably, but for long time there was usually only one...)? ;-)
    I wouldn't be surprised if we would see another build today.

    True, previous behavior was better, especially since I don't get horizontal scrollbar when I'm resizing window (making it smaller) after switching to manual mode and zooming so parts of them get cut off. Kubuntu 12.04, 32 bit, 1920 x 1080 pixels.

    BTW, in those dialogs inactive options should be grayed out (like zoom slider when auto mode is enabled).

    Thanks for the heads up. I have fixed them now.
  • einiFriday, June 1, 2012 8:58:35 AM

    Better, but not good.
    The OOPP seems to be more stable again, but it still keeps freezing on closing Opera after using flash and the freez-on-startup problem ist still there, too.
    At the moment OOPP ist still hardly usable - at least on WinXP SP3.
    I hope i've not ruined your weekend whistle

  • SteveKongFriday, June 1, 2012 9:08:18 AM

    Nice, but DSK-361614 is rather weird on big screens. I think the previous zoom policy is much more convenient. However, do you have a specific reason for this change?

    Small side question, are the search suggestions in the search box localized?
  • submaticFriday, June 1, 2012 9:22:10 AM

    im not sure, if it depends on DSK-364558, but the tab-bar has double-height, if "show close buttons on each tab" is enabled. i can close bottons by double-clicking tabs, this is space-waist.

    this is so far best build of 12th(still far from what we want to see though) i read known issues, but i have SSE2 support in my cpu, and still getting black bars. how is that?
  • ratinoperaFriday, June 1, 2012 9:53:10 AM

    Opera still freezes sometimes and needs to be killed/restarted. Still far from RC.
  • Patrick O'Reillypaddy2kFriday, June 1, 2012 9:57:18 AM

    The speeddial looks more cramped than before at the automatic zoom level. My 4x4 layout turned into 5x3 but they feel too small. Zooming manually to 120% fixes it.

    This a regression from 11.6x and previous [like 6 builds back] 12. Erupt reported too.

    info about RSS bug is here..:
    http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2012/05/31/password-and-font-fixes#comment90299462

    is this known issue? will be this fixed before final? and.. is this really bug or this is only here on my machine? (I only use older mail folder with clean install of Opera so..)

    thanks for your time to reply (opera devs) and for confirmation (by other users/members)...

    PS: With this RSS the bug is still here.. maybe bad RSS on myopera or what.. I really dont know but reloading RSS I have set on every 5minutes.. and ctrl+R or reload (or what is the right translation to english)
  • Eugenesie65Friday, June 1, 2012 10:32:53 AM

    opera freezes for a pair of moments when you right-click on the video on youtube. the previous build didn't freeze, the other builds did, 11.64 and this build does. just saying

    I concur. I use the original 3x3 speed dial... this now floats in an ocean of grey... why?
  • AvolaFriday, June 1, 2012 10:36:02 AM

    Youtube videos always start loading, but after a second they reset and start over again. Doesn't happen in Chrome.

    Confirm but i'm not sure if this happened in Opera or in Opera Next smile

    Repeatedly scrolling up and down i came across this: http://goo.gl/hHH4B
    it is flash, not a picture that flew down
  • Vladrubel22222Friday, June 1, 2012 10:46:08 AM

    In the last builds sorting RSS does not work as it is necessary. I expose on a theme, and it turns out chaotically.Please fix !!
  • maxkasparFriday, June 1, 2012 10:46:38 AM

    "DSK-364601 Text of entries in drop down menu of Go to page and New Speedial dialog are invisible"

    Only partially fixed since the dropdown button doesn't appear automatically. If you press OK or Cancel button and then release away from the button the dropdown icon appears:

    [img]http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6677/nodropdown.jpg



    There is a similar thing with the start bar. The start bar dissapears only if you click on the close tab button and then release the click away from the button:

  • CrabmanFriday, June 1, 2012 11:14:03 AM

    Is it a known bug that I can't drag a tab out of an Opera window to create a second window? It would be a pretty severe regression in functionality for me if there isn't another way to be able to run more than one Opera instance.
  • FedericoRyomaNagareFriday, June 1, 2012 11:20:14 AM

    There is still a problem with View > Style menu, if I select author mode, and select one prset from the menu I can't uncheck it. I do think that's an obscure feature that should ve moved out of there, its confusing for lots of people, more so if broken.
  • ktxgioFriday, June 1, 2012 11:33:01 AM

    same problem of lastest releases:
    problem with webmail...opera don't load page after log in at webmail (virgilio.it for example) if opera is identified like opera, if i change identity (of opera) login is completed successfully: this ONLY with opera 12 32 bit (and opera 11.6x release)

    No problem with opera x64 bit version or previous 11.51 32 bit (for example), log in is completed successfully and webmail page is loaded without problems even if opera is identified like opera

    win 7 x64
  • CalinclambacalinFriday, June 1, 2012 11:35:40 AM

    "DSK-361614 Don't zoom Speed Dial items beyond 100% when in Auto mode"
    Speed dial automatic zoom is now bigger than in the previous build (from 63% to 70% in my case) and now i have to scroll down to see all the dials. Please switch it back!!!
    Also when pressing x to close a background tab current tab losses focus for a moment. Reported 5 times! please confirm so i stop reporting it. Thank you!
  • Sam Van den VonderHuRRaCaNeFriday, June 1, 2012 11:42:53 AM

    Speed dial seemed more intuitive when the zoom was automatic, although I really like that it no longer extends horizontally.

    Also, I still get the R6025 - Pure virtual function call error on "MathXL" (a very popular platform for educational purposes which uses flash). I can provide login details to reproduce this bug. It would be a massive inconvenience if this made it to the final release, since this error seems to be part of a larger entity that could be causing problems on more websites.
