Stability, extensions, and tab stacking fixes

December 14, 2010 · by Haavard

I think we have all recovered from the Christmas party now, so we thought it was time for a new snapshot.

In addition to fixes to extensions, the winstaller, various other cross-platform issues and crashes, this build also contains a number of tweaks and changes to tab stacking.

Take a look at the changelog for more information.

WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

    Will we later get the option to have tabs auto-stack?

    Love that there is a Speed Dial badge, now.

  • Sondeckis14. December 2010, 12:21

    Once I've offered automatic tab stacking, but now I have to admit, that i hate it smile

    Hey, automatic stacking was quite good for me, why it is not possible to re-enable it at least via opera:config ?

  • man000014. December 2010, 12:30

    THANKS for the constant effort!!!.
    Any clue when the annoying delay starting/passing links will be fixed?
    In this update seems it is a little shorter but still exists.

    DSK-321609 Address field skin tweaks



    Good tweaks... ))





    P.S. Stacks greatly retard.

  • Nico14. December 2010, 12:36

    I haven't tested the new Snapshot yet, but is there a way to enable automatic stacking? If not, will there be a way to enable it before Opera 11 goes final? I really like automatic stacking.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    ?

    I would love to.

  • Surferz World14. December 2010, 12:38

    How to enable auto-stacking? It's an awesome fetaure. I've already mentioned here in the comments. http://my.opera.com/chooseopera/blog/2010/12/09/from-all-of-us-to-all-of-you#comment49107612 It's like a browser with an Artificial Intelligence. Come on, make it as an optional for surferz who are disagreeing with me, but, please don't remove it.

  • Artem Gnilov14. December 2010, 12:39

    XPathResult == undefined in extension injected script?

  • sirnh114. December 2010, 12:41

    I have a problem with the pinned tabs. They now take the same width as the other tabs, but don't have any title.

  • Karevos Xue14. December 2010, 12:41

    Sounds good!
    Now testing!

  • Licaon14. December 2010, 12:42

    +1 on config option for AutoStacking

    Any reason the Windows installer is still only in English yet the Unix installers have all the languages? I'm now copying my locale from the Unix pack to my Windows install.

  • dredu14. December 2010, 12:46

    You should use automatic tab stacking, but turned off by default in settings somewhere

  • Nico14. December 2010, 12:46

    UI bug: There is no space between the stack and the "New Tab" button:

  • SF8114. December 2010, 12:49

    DSK-285118 >> Oh, yeah, yeah, this is so sweet... bigsmile

    I appreciate this so much!!!

    PS: Now, if restored tabs could remember the size of the last restored tab...

  • Asires14. December 2010, 12:52

    No automatic stacking

    What it means? Open tab from stacked page in the same stack is NOT autostacking.

    Oops. Turn on "Open new tab next to active" and all works. Thanks you cheers

    Bug: new tab from last page in stack opens outside of stack.

    1. Tab stacking order bug fixed. (DSK-322006)
    2. Video playing problem at tvpot.daum.net is fixed. (DSK-321619)

    Thanks.
    But, Korean IME is not working at all in docs.google.com (document) problem is still alive. (I reported it as DSK-321594)

  • Esmeralda Meza Manriquez14. December 2010, 12:59

    Yep, there used to be more room. Win7 x64

  • sabisan14. December 2010, 13:00

    Thx for new build up

    When:
    1) Visual-tabs position -> left
    2) +1 tab-stacks
    3) Grouping top-most tab-stack
    4) All tab-stacks "jumps" up - something wrong

    EDIT: Win7x64

    You really don't need debs for a snapshot. You should not really use the as you main install and only the tar packages allow for a side by side install.

    We have not been able to reproduce the issue that you see. Are you using some IME that is different from the default on Windows 7?

    this way how to enable automatic tab stacking ? not working for me

  • J-K-L14. December 2010, 13:10

    Finally, the monospace fonts are back on linux up Some pages were very ugly to look at without them.

    But for opera:config#CSSGenericFontFamily|Cursive I still get 'Comic Sans MS' when I hit the default button ! Can I consider this as a bug ? There has to be an alternative wink coffee

    Linux Mint Debian i386 btw...

    Regardless of whether you should or shouldn't (and of course I agree you shouldn't), I certainly see DEBs?

    I have a problem with Wikipedia (homepage, wikipedia.org). If I enter something in the search box and then press enter, nothing happens. I need to click on the button next to the box to search.

    I'm using Mandriva 2010.1

    Mod edit: Noise removed. If you want to report problems, be specific and detailed, but to the point.
