Swordfish Release Candidate 4

June 26, 2011 · by Ruarí Ødegaard

This is the fourth Swordfish (11.50) release candidate. Once again there are not many changes but careful testing by you is still needed.

In the last RC quite a few of you were concerned about the removal of the arrow in the address field drop down, so we have now provided a preference setting to bring it back (though it remains off by default).

Remember before commenting, at this stage only critical release blockers are being considered for 11.50, so if an issue you noticed doesn't fall into this category please hold off from commenting below (or take your feedback to the forums). This makes it much easier for the team here to quickly gather useful information.

    Those aren't implemented so no bug, and you don't have to repeat you're self

    Two things to mention.

    At first, the color schemes does not work perfectly. The "panel toggle" does not changes colors. For example, in sand color scheme, it remains default. Win7 32 bit, Opera 11.50.1071

    An second a webpage problem.
    Upload photos to my.opera.com looks a bit strange, at the bottom.

    This looks the same with 11.11, and also with Internet Explorer 9

    Hi! Can U tell me what is deference between Swordfish Opera RC4 and Opera Next RC4?
  • Ruarí Ødegaardruario26. June 2011, 07:18

    @andrew-bubnov: Opera (the one labelled Swordfish) will upgrade your stable Opera install. "Opera Next" upgrades "Opera Next"
  • Бубнов Андрейandrew-bubnov26. June 2011, 07:22

    Thanks for your explanations.
    Using Opera Next smile
  • YaroslavKaSlavKa7826. June 2011, 07:30

    Great!!! yes
  • pursanovd26. June 2011, 07:35

    Strange Opera Turbo behaviour: I enabled it and chose Automatic. The network speed wasn't slow, but page badge showed that turbo was ON and it saved me some space. Tho on next disabling/enabling it-turbo is not showing in the badge..Strange and cant tell you really how to reproduce that, because got it just spontaneously.
    win 7 x64.

    Thanks for the drop-down arrow in the address field! yes
    Keep up the good work!
  • Kaktusmaier26. June 2011, 07:45

    I like it heart
  • drozdman26. June 2011, 07:55

    One huge bug is still not solved. Opera (on Vista) still overwrites already saved html files without even asking.

    I agree.



    I disagree, whilst there are still some new regressions, most of them are very minor and some very major issues have been addressed, and thus Opera 11.50 in it's current state is a massive leap forward over Opera 11.11, and thus fit for release.

    Dropdown button is back! Yippee! Finally! Thanks a lot!
  • Ronit Kumarronitrex26. June 2011, 08:05

    Speed Dial Tab thumbnail does not display properly. I think its a known issue. If this is fixed, it will be the best looking opera release to date smile

    Confirmed here in Win7. Clearing history doesn't clear list in address bar drop-down.
  • yossariane26. June 2011, 08:12

    In extensions manager can't open preferences. For me it is big bug which prevent me using some of extensions like "Exchange"
    After upgrading 11.11 lost extensions manager preferences too.

    I agree ClashCityRocker. Opera 11.50 is absolutely fantastic...And I would be the first one complaining if it wasn't.
  • JohnyJohnyTheKiD26. June 2011, 08:18

    another RC with not vital fixed bugs? come on...i dissapointed in every rc release...and that makes me believe the final will be nothing cool
  • youngjr26. June 2011, 08:19

    Thanks.
    Opera Link is stable.
  • sperling26. June 2011, 08:21

    Something is definately wrong with rendering hotmail.com with Opera 11.50 RC3 and RC4. I can work with the service with Chrome, but when I work with Opera folders in Hotmail (@windowslive.com domain) disappear or appear in wrong ways.
  • dengwenwei26. June 2011, 08:24

    i think the speeddial thumb image is so blur,even u cant see it clearly
  • yjxc26. June 2011, 08:35

    The arrow in the address field has come back!
    Thank you opera desktop team!
    Thank you Mr Ruarí Ødegaard!
    I love Opera!
    love
  • ouzowtfouzoWTF26. June 2011, 08:38

    This problem for slideshare.net is a showstopper (at least the second one described) since it is a regression to the last stable build 11.11.
    Same problem is talked about here.
  • al00726. June 2011, 08:38

    Fix high cpu usage on Extension Manger!
  • mflagler26. June 2011, 08:38

    Background flashes to white when scrolling on this page: http://www.daily-free-ebooks.com/

    Not sure if this also has an issue on other sites, but this regression has been around for a bit in the Next versions. Does not happen on the last stable version.

    Yes. Now make it the default so that we don't have to keep telling upgraders how to get it back.

    Not confirmed on w7x64, nothing is flashing here.
  • shaneh26. June 2011, 08:45

    Sadly Opera Mobile and Mini no longer sync with Opera Link. I assume these snapshots have upgraded my link data on the servers, which is now incompatible. It's been a problem ever since they introduced password sync.

    I've reported this before but it was never acknowledged.
  • abdur9226. June 2011, 08:47

    Yes! The drop down address bar is back! Cheers! cheers beer
  • Harish Lakshminarayanaharish-l26. June 2011, 08:49

    thanks for the folders option in 'feeds', needed it very badly it just got messy with too many feeds. Now thanks to the folders, they can be sorted easily.
  • Gereford26. June 2011, 08:57

    Thanks for new snapshot. smile
    What about DSK-340277 (In Windows XP in mail panel not changing button states Unpushed/Pushed/Hover for button "Check/Send", "Compose" and "View")

    In Windows 7 it's ok.

    Can anyone confirm?

    For me it was fixed in RC3. WinXP SP2.

    The box that opens when you click the (i) in the installer is too small for some languages (tested with German, Danish, and Dutch):
  • Wernererror-at26. June 2011, 09:02

    still:
    PLEASE fix it.
  • Mészáros AntalMesant26. June 2011, 09:04

    Thanks!
  • netmain26. June 2011, 09:06

    thank you for the new sunday build bigsmile

    please fix this one, seen in both Windows 7 32 bits, and Windows XP SP3

    1- Open Opera
    2- Activate Turbo
    3- Restart Opera.
    4- That's what you get :



    the icon is back after clicking the text

    this bug is there only in both RC3 and RC4. Opera next and Opera swordfish !!

    keep up the good work
  • octopod26. June 2011, 09:07

    Thank you for a build.
    I found the following problem with the search dropdown behavior. In previous releases when i started typing in searchbox and pressed down arrow on my keyboard i jumped to the first (google) suggest result, then to second and so on. But now if i press an arrow a search engine changes and if i want to choose a suggestion i should press it several times. I think it is not very convenient because suggestions are used much more often then search engine changes. Could you please fix it and return it as it was in previous releases. Thank you in advance.
  • Дмитрий Цветцих ReklatsMasters26. June 2011, 09:07

    On click Speed Dial button [+]:

    'Ctrl + L' address field focus works again...
  • Jernej Simončičеnder26. June 2011, 09:17

    Text colours are still not fixed, and I also noticed that I can't drag tabs from one Opera window to another.
