  Same... about ½ minute before this.
  
  nice changelog

• flm11. March 2011, 19:24

  Crash on startup for some users

  Windows Installer crashes for some users

  Indeed. Same crashes as in previos build. :/

• Darkman-ua11. March 2011, 19:25

  Crashes after the RSS-feeds window opening.
  Troubles with searches still presents.

  With more than 4 columns in Speed Dial, some thumbnails dissapear and also the Speed Dial config button

• yurchor11. March 2011, 19:33

  Thanks for this new version. It works fine on Mandriva 2010.2, i386. Previous versions (prior 2033) were very problematic.
  
  

• Peter Henkel11. March 2011, 19:33

  Since previous build I have now all speed dials with empty thumbnails. This isn't exactly that kind of improvement I was hoping to see.

• Øyvind Østlund11. March 2011, 19:37

  @Kike Punk
  
  I guess that depends on resolution on your monitor(s), what is yours?

  Clean or dirty build can make a lot of difference how Opera reacts.
  Did you do a clean install?
  

• Gereford11. March 2011, 19:39

  Thx. Testing

• Gousti Fruit11. March 2011, 19:42

  WOWOWOW, CPU usage is still 100% for a few seconds whenever I hover this comment editing zone with my mouse !

• Shahid_UA11. March 2011, 19:44

  gmail not working, the browser generates an error
  win7 Sp1 32bit

• Idan Adar11. March 2011, 19:44

  uhm, an Opera Link error: "Opera Link is not supported in this version of Opera".
  
  Say what?
  
  11.1.2039 Mac

• blackcoder11. March 2011, 19:53

  The configuration-button in Speeddial is wrong in a german install here. The text shows "Configure...". Simply not yet translated or is this a bug?

  I can confirm this on Win7 x86. Not 100% but up to 50%.
  Also since last build Opera uses a lot CPU with visual mouse gestures.

  If you have a dual core then it is like 100%. One core fully accelerated.

• eliotcougar11. March 2011, 20:03

  I was so incredibly happy to see
  CORE-34650 (Memory leaks caused by missing call to deallocate() on the scriptable object)
  
  But now I realized that this version crashes from start for me...
  Previous build worked here... It's not "the same" crash, it's new one...

• zombie11. March 2011, 20:03

  I really need the old speed dial view back! It is impossible to see which pages to open when I can't see the content!

• Philee11. March 2011, 20:14

  You're right, I have dual core. So one core uses up ~100% CPU.

• ncc5044611. March 2011, 20:14

  More excellent work from Opera!
  I haven't had any cpu problems...(Mandriva 2010.2 i386 KDE).
  Haven't had any crashes in most of these builds as well.
  The Speed Dial changes are good. It would be nice to have the option per thumbnail to use the new way, or the old way.
  But other wise, keep it up

• Victor11. March 2011, 20:15

  Opera still removing all custom search engines. And restore defaults after restart.

  Did a "Portable" install to another folder... Now it doesn't crash... I guess I have to reset preferences in my main installation...

  Indeed. Same crashes as in previos build. :/

  Same here, crashed immediately, but last build was OK.

  Same problem here. All my Speed Dial thumbnails are blank.

• Devocalypse11. March 2011, 20:32

  One of the better reasons to use SD is to see if a page has changed by refreshing. By zooming around the page randomly in search of a logo, that is no longer possible. The link rel thumbnail on the other hand is a complete joke. A funny/lame example would be 2 speed dials on different sections of deviantart now both have the identical ugly 48pixel DA icon (or is it logo) and no visual way to differentiate them.
  
  If Opera Software really wishes to go that extra mile, a more sensible solution would be to present the entire page to the users and allow them to crop a region themselves, similar to how most sites allow you to crop an avatar, as well as retain and remember the offset of that region upon refreshing of the thumbnails. If not, there should at least be an option to use the old generation method.
  
  I am aware they are still pretty much work in progress, but in my opinion the new thumbnails are pretty much useless and some of them come out plain ugly.

  DSK-313944 ("Ctrl+Shift+V" opens in a new background tab)

  
  For those that had this bug, is this now fixed for real?
  
  For me it just seemed to make things even worse. The last time changelog mentioned fixing this bug it changed the Paste & Go to open a new tab, except when done from address bar. Now Paste & Go opens a new tab, even if you are paste&go'ing directly in address bar... not very logical since you paste and then click Go manually, it doesn't open a new tab, as it shouldn't.

  Same here. It's always been like that in Opera (while other browsers can't do it smoothly).

  DSK-330721 (Cannot create characters that require dead keys on Windows)

  Editing desktop blog comments still freezes Opera, but it recovers after a little while.

  Confirmed here with a fresh profile on Win7. All 6 never load.
  
  On my "dirty" install, the existing SDs are not affected.

• Jeherrin11. March 2011, 20:39

  Using custom thhumbnails, PNG transparencies appear to be broken on SpeedDial.

  Well, okay... There are some "upgrade problems"... I noticed that "clean installation" works fine...
  
  Here's what I did:
  I went to C:\Users\%Your_Username%\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera
  and manually cleared theese folders (they are for history, so it's safe to delete):
  cache, icons, opcache, thumbnail_cache and thumbnails
  
  Only after that Opera started...

• zombie11. March 2011, 20:48

  @Jan Standal: Huffingtonpost.com is an example. I used to be able to view the top stories in the speed dial, but now I can only see the very top of the page. It is useless to me. I use speed dial to preview content. If I just want to open a page I can use bookmarks.

• ricksper11. March 2011, 20:49

  tigerblood eh? Bye bye fishes?

• erickdeoliveiraleal11. March 2011, 20:49

  I did a clean install and my speed dials on-line are not synced to desktop. Is that normal?
  I'm from Brazil, pardon for my english.

  It's expected... Sync does not work with new Speed Dial yet...

• Brano11. March 2011, 20:53

  I have 19 speed dials with 80% zoom and all are transparent, I tried to change the zoom, they load but remain transparent or white. win xp sp3

• ahoj123411. March 2011, 20:57

  good job,but please do something with a bug which is indication as DSK-330028 ,it´s terrible bug.. I report it more than week ago. In previously builds was everything about the bug OK,so I think it isn´t hard to fix it.. PS:The bug started about the first barracuda versions.
  edit:I thank you so much for fix the bug "DSK-326198 (Enter when composing HTML mails sometimes has large line spacing)"

• vilpapa11. March 2011, 20:58

  Regression, overlay dialog boxes get a white background after canceling, click to download a windows build here then cancel the download dialog:

  Also noticeable on opera:config confirmation dialog.
