    Drop down menu in address bar is still cropped sometimes (when google suggestions loads or you press backspace to delete some letters).

    colspan is not working correctly http://smp.if.uj.edu.pl/~baryluk/opera-bugs/opera-colspan-bug.htm


    As of other fixes, especially Unix updates, I love you Opera Desktop Team!

    Yes!
    Or at least make it optional and enabled by default, however I really doubt if someone would like to disable it.
    Also KDE styling issues remain.
    And message zoom in M2 is still not preserved when witching between them (regression).

  • Jorge BustamanteJorge-BustamanteThursday, November 24, 2011 3:56:17 PM

    Ok I'll prove it again, but this version should fail me in the mail MyOpera will not let me change the recipient when sending mail, Yahoo! mail I do not work very well, because the page does not load as it should . On Facebook when trying to upload a photo loading was slow in sharing and giving gets stuck as if in load and reload the page to see who had already published the photo. And what but I'm hoping is that the Google toolbar is static and flowing as in other browsers when entering Google+ as this to enter or shows me notifications, and I do use an extension that I active or apply AppleWebKit in ISP, but even so the bar does not float, it should decrease when low on the page and no, it stays up forever. Another is when I try to watch videos such as Youtube slow to load and also sometimes the browser closes itself. So I like most Opera Next Wahoo sorry for up to 12 lighter than the 11.60 version ... But even in that version as it gives me the same mistakes, less than Youtube. Newly proves this and I'll tell you. By the way I have Windows 8 without acceleration. worried

    I'm in if someone will create one. ;-)


    Also these newly displayed search keywords in search dropdown could use kind of gray text color. And have padding on the right, I've some with two letters and these touch the border.

    RSS feed reader happens to forget sorting new entries on first new entry after opera restarts. It is sorted by time (descending), but one entry is at the other end. This started to happen in previous build (1163).

    If you customize the adressbar. Have only the following
    1) prev
    2) next
    3)reload stop
    4) address bar
    5) add bookmarks
    6) opera link status
    7) opera turbo status
    Progress bar is popup at bottom.

    Now when you open bookmarks or any other panel .. by click on the left side, the search bar (customized to popup from below) (ctrl f), opens up on all the tabs open.

    Also the in the search bar, earlier hitting enter used to go 'next'. Now you have to bring focus on button and then hit enter. This is very irritating.

    Cursor doesn't become I-Beam when scrolling over text at this site:

    There are still issues with flash elements persisting briefly after closing a tab.
    To reproduce: go to http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/icechips/ (each of the team logos are flash elements)
    Close the tab and flash elements will remain briefly on the next tab: http://files.myopera.com/ugly95/albums/9812762/Flash1169.png

    1) Still some problems with some images not loading entirely. Previously, the bottom half was garbage, now it's simply not visible.

    2) Places where I should be able to click on the small images to see it bigger still don't work. Example with slideshow and galleries:

    http://io9.com/5862482/aliens-on-ice--hr-giger-%2B-the-ice-capades/gallery/1?autoplay=

    http://kotaku.com/5860735/the-beautiful-if-stabby-art-of-assassins-creed/gallery/1

    THe only way to see them, at this point, is to remove "gallery/1"

    Please permanent favicons in the adress drop down list!
    favicons let find the wanted address faster, because recognizing symbols is faster than reading text.
    What was the developers intention when removing permanent favicons? Is there a good reason what could convince me/us?

    Oh you did not correct the visual bug on the mail client introduced in last build ? Just when I decided to move from GMail to Opera :'-(

    A little glitch while I think of it: on startup, I often click the search field to, well, search, and start typing... but the focus is stolen - I think by loading extensions - so I need to wait for all extensions to load, then click the search field again and complete my typing. Annoying when Opera is often advertised for its startup speed :-\

    wow, it seems, that never ending loading site (NSL problem) is a bit resolved for me. - site is still never stop loading, but site JS bigged images or gallery is now OK.

    edit: but CPU usage during is very high (100% of 2 core CPU)

    for example: http://www.sreality.cz/detail/prodej/dum/rodinny/skotnice--/3057095260
    Before this build, galery wasn't working, scrolling with mouse wheel was unable till i manually stopped site loading.
