Post Beta crash fixes

March 18, 2011 · by Ruarí Ødegaard

During the excitement and media coverage of yesterday's 11.10 Beta, the hard working development team here at Opera didn't get distracted and just carried on working towards the 11.10 final. In fact it was a very rewarding and fruitful day and we now have some experimental fixes for most of the major crashes you guys have reported recently! So we figured why not end the week in style and give you an even better build to play with. You could almost say it is a Beta+! p

Have a look below to see all the bugs we crushed knight during a time when lesser software companies might have been tempted to put their feet up and take a well earned rest.

Enjoy the weekend testing out the very latest and greatest Opera! beer

    1. open opera
    2. go to http://itunes.apple.com/us/browse or other pages like: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/95-08/id276346140
    3. itunes doesn't open up automatically nor does javascript appear and asks to do like in other browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome)
    reported under DSK-331492


    also: the frontpage of apple.com doesn't work in Opera though in all other browsers.
    - Confirm?
  • frogstomp18. March 2011, 15:17

    unite problem still present!!!

    please take care of it; if you have multiple apps of a same kind, then the settings will not get stored properly; sometimes the names, sometimes the path..

    On site www.telepolis.pl pictures are not opened:
    i.e. http://www.telepolis.pl/artykuly.php?id=395#
    go to the end of page and open phone picture.

    In previous Opera release (v.11.0) it works ok.

    Known or unknown problem: Long items in the Bookmarks menu, and the address bar history list, are truncated. You'll see that they end in (...).
  • CKtalon18. March 2011, 15:29

    A relatively simple bug - DSK 328903 hasn't been fixed since 11.01.

    Steps to reproduce
    ===================
    1. Open a new speed dial tab. The address bar is focused.
    2. Type an address. (eg. www.abcd.com/ho)
    3. Switch to another tab, and switch back to the speed dial tab.
    4. The entire address is highlighted

    Expected result
    ===============
    After step 3 is done, the address bar should not be highlighted, and we can continue typing our address. A scenario is when we need to copy a URL (that cannot be copied) from a tab, and going back to the new tab to type the URL. With the entire address bar highlighted, whatever that has been typed will be replaced by the new entries.
    More information can be found on this forum page.
    http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=878202

    Actual result
    =============
    The entire address bar is highlighted.

    Confirmed, but I didn't fill a BugReport.
  • alanhoyle18. March 2011, 15:44

    On Snow Leopard 10.6.6.

    Mac speed dial config won't save the number of columns (always reverts to display 3, but actually has 4 in my speed dial.

    Emacs keybindings still act twice in text fields (ctrl+[a,f,b,e,d,k,y])

    BTW, I appreciate that the new speed dial finally lets me customize the titles.

    Replace the old speeddial, the new is frustrating with lots of holes

    I agree bring back the old one. But I think the devs have made up their minds and requests like this are falling on deaf ears.
  • iPristy site18. March 2011, 16:06

    Yes it don't crash any more on Planetarium and don't work either, isn't HTML5 open to all? http://www.shrani.si/f/S/XZ/SRGtPWQ/ff.jpg

    and your AVG protection is a bit wrong, button to small and that was on rarlab.com download, that site is safe.

    Opera internal pages are still laggy and unresponsive! Smooth scrolling is not possible!

    Is this because of the new look? Will it be fixed till final?

    That's bad. I really liked the automatic stacking.

    Pizza.de:

    If you're going to a site of pizzeria (e.g. https://pizza.de/pizzeria-panda-rheinberg-graf-luitpold-str-13?lgs=66810). The content is greyed out as if a popup is shown. This makes it impossible to use. sad

    Not quite sure, wether I can confirm it fixed – I rather doubt.

    Opera crashes for me with attached Dragonfly view. It does not crash immediately after Dragonfly finished loading and displays DOM tree as it used to do the last few builds; it crashes after a while, however, even without any user/ui interaction. Once it crashed upon clicking the [+] to expand the body element in DOM view – but that may well have been coincidental.

    [Opera/WinXP/32bit, Link on or off, Dragonfly experimental branch (but the branch didn't matter last times). Crash reports sent.]

    "Ghost Windows" are created if I close the main window to system tray and open it again. The number of ghosts are always the same as the number of enabled extentions.

    YEAH !!!
  • SJ31618. March 2011, 16:28

    How can I return to 3 columns in speed dial.

    I have a small screen, and I put dial in 5 columns, but I can only see 4, the other it's hiding, and I can't not scroll horizontal to see the settings button or the other column. Plus vertical scroll, goes deep down of the page.
