    I know that I can this.. but Opera is doing a lot of stuff itself :smile: HWA on Opera and HWA in other browser is not the same.. I think that this could be the same case.. maybe I am wrong maybe not.. who knows.. So thank you and we will see..

    but it seems like a good improvement.. lets hope that this is not latest improvement and as was said on QA with investors meeting.. Desktop Opera should be stronger at early 2013..

    Mmm, now the Synology interface looks nice again (text-shadow fix) :smile:

  • ktxgioFriday, October 26, 2012 9:28:11 PM

    @ ahoj1234: yes are great improvement, and if a person doesn't want use it can disable from opera:config. I'm agree with you!

    DSK-372481, pl0x?
    There seems to be something new about it in this build, please read this comment of mine: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=13283182

  • Ruarí ØdegaardFriday, October 26, 2012 10:43:50 PM

    We have a potential fix for DSK-375761 that looks promising. With a bit of luck no problems will turn up in testing and it'll be in the next snapshot. No guarantees though.

  • ahoj1234Friday, October 26, 2012 11:06:18 PM

    Nice post ruari :smile:

    btw:
    Have anyone else problem with images? (caching I think) time to time most of images disappear and I have to "ctrl+f5" (only F5 doesnt solve it)..


    and.. after +- 5 Opera´s stop working in a row (relating bug what was fixed in this build) .. all my tab with only image (60+) and pages with images get broken - alt + F5 doenst solve it.. only "reload image" image by image solve it for a while.. until I load another page in this tab.. opening it in another tab is needed.. or "reloading image" over and over.. some workaround?

  • Darko PantićFriday, October 26, 2012 11:23:40 PM

    How much speed will we gain whit DNS prefetching? DNS lookup is pretty fast (few hundred milliseconds at most).

    I have the same problem. Only reload image helps for a while. I have 6 pinned tabs; First group has 16 tabs; Second group has 13 tabs; Third group has 21 tabs; Fourth group has 3 tabs; and finally from 10 to 30 normal tabs. It is crazy to reopen all old tabs as new tab. I use these tabs from version 11.50 next (and probably earlier) and it is broken from some build of 12.50 next.

    :confused:



    I can confirm that 12.02 redirects to http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4228361 after a couple of seconds. Seems to happen on the first page, but if you click quickly onto page two of the Opera Desktop comments, the page doesn't redirect.

    Sorry, I'm not testing 12.10, just observing the progress, so can't tell you what happens with that version.

    EDIT - Looking at the page's source, it seems to be a test image related to "CORE-49107 Disallow internet shortcuts in frames (+ svg images)" mentioned above (comes up with some star then redirects to another page). Couldn't the test, if it is one, have redirected to some page explaining that it was a purposeful redirect to test the fix?

  • hectormaciasa79Saturday, October 27, 2012 1:03:55 AM

    It would be great if Opera prefetches DNS when typing URLs too.

    If you're using 12.02, the image in the comments will cause a redirect since its showing that the exploit in that version is fixed in the new snapshot.

    One bug that sticks out to me, is when some flash vid's don't obey the ondemand plugin rule.
    And another where ondemand is enabled, some types of flash players don't work.

    The last time I tried to use Printing in Opera was back when Opera v6.0 was the most modern thing in the world.

    It -still- doesn't work right.

    Everything that I print comes out all sorts of screwed up.

    Printing works fine in all other programs.

  • Constantine VesnaSaturday, October 27, 2012 7:06:00 AM

    +1

    printing is sort of useless right now. Only printing from feeds works all right; I don't even bother trying to print a web page from within Opera; I just open Firefox to do this. If printing could be improved (Chrome has a very nice implementation) very very much, it might become useful again.

  • PraetorianXSaturday, October 27, 2012 8:06:53 AM

    I just realized that Opera still drags around two annoying bugs (which are a few years old):

    1. Right clicking on address bar and selecting "CUT" will randomly decide NOT TO CUT the address contents, so you have to repeat it to get it right. This is a bug for many releases now. Has nobody noticed?


    1b. Also I just noticed that right clicking on the addressbar has DIFFERENT behavior if you click on the lower or upper part of the bar -still within the text box.This could or could not be related to 1a.
    http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/4100/rightclickone.jpg
    http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/2283/rightclicktwo.jpg

    2. Opera's checkbox in the dialogue when you want to "never ask you again" about which torrent client to use, is for some sites UNCLICKABLE. Example: any torrent from www.legittorrents.info (legal free content in case anybody is wondering).
    http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/2275/opera03n.jpg

    Isn't it bad practice to keep these unfriendly bugs for so long?

    Windows 7 x64 SP1, Opera x64 12.10 1642. No hwa, no webgl.

    You may also want to do something about your spam filter. It's the second time it marks one of my posts as spam, when it's anything but spam.

    I hope that some moderation will lift the wrong flag (although judging from last time, I am not sure anyone actually looks into these). I am not reposting it :sad:

  • netmainSaturday, October 27, 2012 8:44:30 AM

    When I usally change the local time and use wrong one ( november 2012 for ex ) I get a security warning when visiting secure pages and that's ok.. but when I changed it this time, I couldn't go through lot of websites especially outlook.com ( "impossible to complete the secure transition" or something like that ). when the other browsers were doing just fine in the same conditions !!

    is it a bug or just because opera is more strict when it comes to secure pages ?

  • petrossaSaturday, October 27, 2012 8:50:14 AM

    Every 12.1 x64 version on win 7 x64, Stardock windowblinds. Both when Opera has been excluded from skinning or not. When Opera minimizes, it comes back up with a only the border and a black inner screen. After a good while, around 30 seconds or more, the inner screen comes back up normal.

    I had to reinstall 12.50 x64 to get it back to normal, i can also skin it normally.

    As it should, Opera Next 64 bit shows alternate translations after selecting translated words or phrases in the much used Google Translation site:
    http://translate.google.com/
    However, Opera Next 64-bit fails to show the edit box that should be there at the end, so to speak on the last line.
    Consequently it's not possible to suggest improvements with Opera.
    Compare it to Firefox and you will see what is missing.

    Not playing streaming flac files on sites like minus.com - mentioned as comment for 12.10-1624 - nothing fixed yet.

    Waaah! Nice speed improvement.

    I hope this is a strong indicator for even more prefetching in Opera.

  • Guest703Saturday, October 27, 2012 12:49:01 PM

    "DNS will only be resolved for HTTP links"

    Why? Where is the option to enable DNS prefetching for HTTPS? I use the Swiss Knife extension (Opera's equivalent of HTTPS-Everywhere) and my entire browsing experience revolves around using as much HTTPS as possible.

    Please allow users to enable this for HTTPS as well.

    this bug have a lot of bug reports (I did also 1 because before me no one was discussing this bug)

    I filed it as:
    DSK-375966

    so lets hope for early fix (alt + F5, alt + "numbers" etc.. but not all alt shortcuts are gone..)

  • LukaszSaturday, October 27, 2012 2:08:02 PM

    With each update i hope the problem i've got with opera is finally going to be resolved. It freezes for 30-40 seconds on loading of various sites containing flash elements or multiple images. Happens to me on both 32 and 64 bit versions, with fresh Windows installs. Doesn't happened with any other browser.
