  Good work interns Thank you..Lets try this RC

• kamenlitchev2. August 2010, 11:44

  Cool

• AnuaR Sh2. August 2010, 11:45

  Todays RC mostly contains stability fixes. But we had to revert the fix for the blanking out of the start bar, as it caused some other problems, and it probably won't make it in 10.61 Final.

  
  We will not rush you to the final release of 10.61!

  DSK-305562 (Opera crashes on startup under Windows 98)
  
  Say what? I considered this a feature for getting people to upgrade their systems!

  2 bugs both related to the closed tabs trashcan :
  Since rc1, no more favicons in the closed tabs trashcan and you need to close 2 tabs before the trashcan becomes a available (linux i386, rmp, mandriva 2010.1)

• Arguggi2. August 2010, 12:10

  Thanks, Testing!

  Damn! I hope you'll get around fixing it, anyway!

• MGillespie2. August 2010, 12:26

  The start bar problem is pretty low priority, the problems the fix caused was WAY higher. The correct decision to move it out from 10.61. There are some important fixes in 10.61 (especially for Linux/Mac), and 10.61 shouldn't be delayed for minor cosmetic problems like this.

  Edit: thx minho! Here are my specs: WinXP SP3 [10.61 RC1]

  
  Now with 10.61 RC2 I have just to click 2 times to go back!
  For me Opera is now 1/3 faster than last week - Hip Hip Hooray!

• Don Zahniser2. August 2010, 12:35

  This build is still not usable under Mac OS 10.4.11 on PPC - due to high CPU usage and long delays while entering text into URL field, forms or email. DSK-308554

  Yeah Martin, I asked myself when we got to hear something of you
  
  

  We mostly developed tools for the testers and developers at Opera that should help them to release builds even faster!

  
  
  
  I wonder if DSK-303512 will be fixed in final 10.61!? Ola contacted me to get some more details, but I dont know if it helped. Its definitely not fixed in this snapshot.
  
  And will the postmessage() issue for facebook (I dont know the bug number, but I mean this one) make it in 10.61 final? I think thats a very big thing for all pages using facebook features and therefor facebook users.

• bmd2. August 2010, 12:51

  Last time I posted this I was told it doesn't reproduce, but I managed to reproduce it on several 64-bit Win 7 systems, including fresh installs of the OS an Opera and it still happens on this build. Here it goes again:
  
  Go to:
  http://bfbcs.com/stats_pc/TimSad/dogtags
  Sort the table clicking on a column name in the header, for example "Rank". (The site uses JQuery + JQuery.tablesorter - nice use of Canvas in the graphs btw.).
  Notice that the CPU usage jumps to 100% on a core (50% on dual core, 25% on quad etc.) and that it takes a long time to sort the table (20 seconds or more). Other browsers sort it much faster (a few seconds).

• Jernej Simončič2. August 2010, 12:51

  Are there any plans to fix the colour of javascript alert() boxes and the certificate warning dialog? They're hard to read with their current background.

• Bill P2. August 2010, 13:08

  what about cpu utilization when manipulating bookmarks? why should cpu spike to 100% and sit for an extended period? This has been a regression for a while

  Wow! Noticeable increase in page load times over 10.60!
  
  Ooh! And page never stops loading on final element problem fixed!

  Yep, that's due to that overlaying toolbar at the bottom. Same thing happens at Cnet.com, for example. If you hide the toolbar the problem goes away.

  4 problems with bookmarks library...
  
  1 - "Add all open tabs to bookmarks" does not work (reported since 10.54 version and not fixed - DSK-296161)
  
  2 - The alternating colors from bookmarks library lines disappear when some of the columns is disabled ("nick", for example)
  
  3 - DSK-306234 (After Opera 10.60 restart, Manage Bookmarks tab appears empty) still affects 10.61 on Linux and WinXP at least.
  
  4 - The items in the bookmarks library and personal bar not open in the background when clicked with the mouse wheel.

  Favicons for search engines are not shown! I created one for "YouTube" and I only see a magnifying glass. It worked well with 10.60.

  There is a problem with eBay and images with the Release Candidates. I have eBay set to show 200 items at a time. With the RC versions of Opera many times Opera will only show like the first 20 product images and then quit. I have to refresh multiple times before Opera finally shows them all. I test this on my laptop and desktop same thing happens and pretty regularly.
  
  I checked with other browsers like IE, Safari and Firefox and they didn't have this problem on either computer. So it is definitely something with Opera. I haven't noticed this problem anywhere but on eBay.

  Uninstall 10.70 and install the 10.61 rc2

• AKAPanamaJack2. August 2010, 14:52

  And another problem with all versions of Opera 10.6x is with the web site http://www.allegiantair.com/ and clicking on the seach button. It never does anything. With Opera 10.5x clicking the search button after entering everything in starts the search. Under 10.6x abaolutely nothing happens and there are no errors generated on the web page. The site works just fine under IE, Safari and Firefox.

  Some bug:
  When I choose RSS to check "every 5 minutes", it returns back "to check once an hour" after little bit of time (near 30 min.). And even I do not restart browser.
  Сan someone confirm?
  

• sa6666662. August 2010, 14:58

  Favicons are not showing in the bookmarks menu in Linux (tested in several distros, in both 32 and 64bit mode). This started with the first RC.
  
  Also, the --geometry commandline argument still isn't working, so the window can't be automatically positioned by window managers like KDE.

  Flash problems with two many popular sites from my country...
  
  1 - Go to...
  
  http://video.globo.com/Videos/Player/Esportes/0,,GIM1297723-7824-FLAMENGO+BUSCA+NOVO+GOLEIRO+APOS+ESCANDALO+BRUNO,00.html
  
  Change anything in the settings of the flash plug-in
  Result: The browser returns to the previous page
  Then, scroll down the page with the mouse wheel.
  Result: The browser acts as if the user had pressed CTRL + TAB.
  
  
  2 - Go to...
  
  http://terratv.terra.com.br/videos/Noticias/4404/Destaques-Noticias.htm

  Totally confirmed.
  No favicons in the menus, Lubuntu/Kubuntu Lucid 32Bit.
