  64bit Download link not valid, and side panel download link points to the old build!

  Google Plus is not working with Opera 12. Even if i mask as frirefox or chrome (using extension),
  error when try to post something:
  
  <plus.google.com>
  
  TypeError: 'a.setBaseAndExtent' is not a function
  
  
  Works absolutely fine in Opera 11.64 without any masking!

  Huge GPU memory leak. About 15-20mins of browsing and GPU memory usage raises to 900Mb
  
  Strange memory leak!
  
  I have 5 youtube videos open (stacked into one group) and 15 other tabs (facebook, twitter, etc).
  Opera process uses: 800Mb
  Plugin wrapper uses: 373Mb
  
  Thats total to about 1.1Gb, but thats ok. NOW the MAIN PART, Every time i point or switch to Youtube video tab, about 324Mb ram is addedd to "Modified RAM" in Task manager.
  This behavior continues untill Windows shows error, "Windows is low on memory, close some programs to continue". When i click continue Opera closes and all the memory is restored.
  
  (Modified Ram: Memory whose content must be written to disk before it is available for use.)
  
  
  Opera is getting really Bad at memory efficiency, whether its GPU memory or System memory!
  
  8Gb Ram
  H/W enabled (DirectX)
  AMD 5750 (12.4)
  
  Windows 7 64bit/Windows 8 64bit

  Have absolutely the same problem. DX HWA, Opera x86 on windows 7 x64, AMD Radeon HD5850.

  Thx for the new build.
  
  

  CORE-44002 Parallel download of script and images. Speculative parsing vs DSE

  Will the parallel download of scripts and images make Opera render a page quicker? What can we expect?
  
  What is meant with speculative parsing and DSE?

• Robson CordeirorobsonpcMonday, May 21, 2012 3:01:07 PM

  I try to add a zoom button on the Start Bar and with a startup crash.

  No build found for Opera 64 Bit for Windows.
  
  I can't add items to the toolbars in the last 64 Bit build, still not working in this 32 Bit build.
  
  Also with HWA enabled Opera 12 HALVED the time it takes to run my benchmark!

  "CORE-46374 Can't upload files 16384 bytes or larger to Skydrive"
  
  Sorry Opera developers - the issue is only partially fixed.
  I tested with some files;
  1. A 103 KB document,
  2. A 757 KB file,
  3. A 3,595 KB (3.9 MB something) file,
  4. A 6.43 MB file
  
  Out of these, only files 1 and 2 upload. Files 3 and 4 are just stuck at Uploading 0%.

  Thank you, testing.

• nicklas bomansmurfdMonday, May 21, 2012 3:22:43 PM

  im sad to inform that this as the previous build crashes alot on visiting twitter.com (or atleast if you visit a specific persons twitter ... like twitter.com/person) this on Linux openSUSE x64
  
  havent tried youtube yet, the prev build made my computer freeze so i could only hit the powerbutton... again, ill have to verify it on this build.

  Hello again,
  
  Closed Tabs does not work (opera is closed). I have reported this issue many times. Doesn't matter... One time again. Perhaps somebody from desktop team would read my post...
  
  Windows Classic Theme: On clicking the arrow (the icon that replaced the old and nice trash icon) is misplaced? and acts as closing the browser.
  
  Windows XP standard Theme: It's ok (the closed tabs icon is placed at the left of the window icons and works as it is supposed to).
  
  Please fix this issue. There are so many users still working on XP (with or without the classic theme).
  
  Thanks and regards,
  Giorgos

• tisazalayMonday, May 21, 2012 3:45:47 PM

  I'm pleased by the latest builds, they are working fine on my W7 64bit machine, no crashes so far nor freezes on youtube.
  One question I do have is regarding the rendering engine, my default is set to 1 (Direct3D) which is supported by my GPU and it performs great. When I set it to 0 it changes to OpenGL (as expected) and also performs great. My concern is that on some demos (like HTML5 speed reading) OpenGL outperforms Direct3D by over 30% (WOW), so which one should I keep? I don't notice a difference on day to day surfing.
  Thanks for any help and keep this great builds.

• Obese MauriceObeseMauriceMonday, May 21, 2012 4:05:15 PM

  WOW, this has been fixed!!! Finally!

  Opera Unite is being removed, support is over for it, so don't expect any update on this one.

  It works very good
  Just one thing. The headtitles of the articles on myphone.gr do not show up correctly.
  
  Well it looks like it can't render headline of articles written in greek. Another example is news247.gr

  +1.

• AvolaMonday, May 21, 2012 4:20:25 PM

  I'm still getting freezes/crashes on Youtube. Other than that it's starting to become pretty usable at this point.

• Shane BundyoperabakerMonday, May 21, 2012 4:36:06 PM

  "CORE-44002 Parallel download of script and images. Speculative parsing vs DSE" - Thanks, Opera team!
  
  I was wondering if Browserscope.org was some sort of priority - is it?

• QuHnoMonday, May 21, 2012 4:39:39 PM

  10s to the first crash while checking if already existing crash bugs are gone. Crash log submitted.
  
  Nice try.
  
  Waiting for the next build.

• Dmitry MojseenkoErasusMonday, May 21, 2012 4:41:09 PM

  Thank you Opera Team. Now everything is very fast and smooth with HWA ON. And no crashes at startup. x64 Bild. You are BEST!!!!!

• Frederick Barnettfred8615Monday, May 21, 2012 4:45:22 PM

  Win 7 64 bit SP1
  64 bit build, clean install
  HWA & WebGL enabled
  
  POP e-mail doesn't seem to crash as much as the two previous builds, but it still does, and still doesn't work.
  
  Dragging and dropping buttons to toolbars problem has regressed from the last two builds.
  
  Uploading to Mediafire still only works as "Identify as IE."

  how come it's not even in the list of known issues?

  Do you see the same issue if you disable hwa?

  If it's what I guess that this is releated to DirectX HWA. With disabled HWA or enabled OpenGL HWA there is no memory (VRAM) leak.

  It only happens with Directx H/W acceleration. With OpenGL No system memory leak, but GPU memory usage is still high about 500Mb (but less then directX ~900Mb)

• OPERATORGÖKTÜRKMonday, May 21, 2012 5:44:25 PM

  Drag and drop buttons but not displayed..And all my bookmarks are twin(Opera Links) ( İts same in Opera 11.64)

• ZealMonday, May 21, 2012 5:46:45 PM

  Still massive stability issues with Flash.
  
  It's almost impossible to browse YouTube when the browser crashes almost every time i load new video.
  Same with SoundCloud.
  
  I've noticed that this is clearly related to opera plugin wrapper and it's functionality when there are more than one flash active.
  
  Edit: I've also now tracked that crashes happen in Youtube when user has 720p or higher setted to default quality.

• ZX Wongzx-wongMonday, May 21, 2012 5:47:26 PM

  Oh no!the bug "crash when connect to a pop3 account" for 64bit on windows survived again???!!!

  Opera continuously asks for a username and password when I'm behind a proxy. The network is authenticated via NTLM.

  Nice. This seems to finally fix the problems introduced with the 13xx builds on FreeBSD-amd64.
