    Hello Haavard,

    Will the security issue regarding WebGL be solved? yikes

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/11/chrome_firefox_security_threat/

    Being a avid user I hope to see Opera browser more secure knight

    Also please see to that frequent crashes and slowness with 11.11 version is solved in next version sad

    Best Regards

    The question is rather: will Opera 11.50 even have WebGL at all?

    What security issue? And how can you fix a WebGL security issue in a version without WebGL support? lol

  • sTeeVeboY23. June 2011, 16:39

    No serious bug I guess, but extension manager is kind of slow in responsiveness. Activating and disabling extensions lasts long, button is highlighted very late. Scrolling is also not fluid.

    Perhaps something to work on in future builds after 11.50 final...

    Still testing...
  • Dierk HaasisEvo2Me23. June 2011, 16:40

    I may have overlooked it in the past but will standard builds update Next installations, too? Or will both beside each other automatically use the same profile?

    *Since I set up a new computer 2 weeks ago I have only Next installed.

    No it won't!

    It was an official statement from Opera Software ASA long time ago.

    Expect to show up in post 11.50 builds though...
  • Alex FutekovSasko8823. June 2011, 16:41

    Broke my default opera installation.

    And this is the log http://files.myopera.com/Sasko88/files/crash20110623193544.txt

    I cannot start opera now in any way, tried re-installing the same version with no success.
  • dracodraconair23. June 2011, 16:42

    From official 11.50 I can't anymore use New Tab next to menu button with "Image and text on right" because of Menu text? Will be this fixed? And what happened with dropdown in addressbar? Another bug?
  • Francis Adu-Gyamfiicewalker2g23. June 2011, 16:42

    Sad day in Opera land. I tried to upgrade my normal Opera install with the RC1 build and it crashes on start up and crashes again when trying to show the crash log. I was running Opera 11.11 with a few extensions installed on Win 7 x64 SP1

    I've reinstalled Opera 11.10, will upgrade again to 11.11 shortly. Currently posting using Opera Next 1065.

    Where do send the crash log?

  • Wolfpig23. June 2011, 16:43

    Opera RC1 installed over latest stable build ( used the not next installer of course ), and now Opera crashes immediately when i will start it.

    At which adress should i send the crashlog which is created? ( the popup says that it should be sent in manually )
  • EricJH23. June 2011, 16:44

    Congratulations with the release.beer

    I knew something was up. People were making overtime this week... a release at 21.30, Rijk working after midnight.....sherlock coffee
  • Sta1kerBo1ts23. June 2011, 16:44

    1. If added "Menu" button to a toolbar, you cannot remove it from there (until perform "Reset to default view")

    2. Custom search edit-box looks much bigger then default search combo-box. And you cannot remove this edit-box too.

  • Harlekin Mondharlekinmond23. June 2011, 16:49

    Thank you for this RC and the new skin smile I love it but I think that it would be better if Opera Link button, Opera Unite button and Opera Turbo button were red (and not blue) to get a link between skin and logo Opera p

    'Add tab button' is overlapping/is overlapped by tab if tab bar is placed on one of the sides.
    This is a recurring bug every time the skin is updated.

  • anticitizen10123. June 2011, 17:02

    Skin issues:

    O menu button is annoying now. When fullscreen, when I move the mouse to the upper-left corner, I now click air (as opposed to clicking the menu like in 11.11). Furthermore, the "Opera" text on the O menu button is also superfluous, and it should be removable (at least have an alternative button available - with proper 11.11 corner positioning).

    When "show full web address" is selected, the Earth icon is off-center and looks weird.

    Same here sad

    updated from the latest version before 'Opera next' was introduced (guess that was 11.11) and now I can't start Opera anymore ;(

    please don't make me use IE or FF for long but tell me how to get Opera up running again.

    Speed Dial access via shortcut works incorrectly.

    When I press ctrl+2 it opens 1 speed dial, ctrl+3 it opens second one, etc.
  • Sergey GolubevSerjMetakiller23. June 2011, 17:09

    Icon of "Show Images" and "Cached Images" have no any differences and thus current images caching state can't be shown properly to user, if this button has no text. Looks very Ugly!!

    When you update from stable than it should work fine, the people that changed behavior cause of a bug that shifted the shortcut keys have to change it back.

    Hello,
    New ui is really nice but react badly with panel placed right and panel bar right.

    It's quiet annoying, but not sure if it's realy a big showstoper.
