Scrolling behaviour in Opera the same as in Safari, Konqueror and iCab (shows scrollbars) that also passed the Acid 2 test.

Opera passes the test on my home computer. But on my work computer the acid 2 test failes. This is how it looks like: http://1tones.com/opera_acid2.jpg

@Sohil: are you talking about this post? 'Cause if you are, the only person I see encouraging the claims is natmaster himself.

Mine looks odd too. This is what it looks for me: Acid2 I think it is because of my minimum font setting, it is set at 16px. No Fit To Page enabled.

If some blame Opera, then also Konqueror. It can scroll the test page, then the smile face is distorted likewise. Additionally, if you set larger font from menu or Ctrl+mousewheel, the distortions are much worse than Opera’s renderings.

Allright you know what, lets repeat the same article once Firefox 3 arrives (Firefox 3/Gecko 1.9 passes Acid 2)

For fellow Firefox fans out there, stop spreading FUD.

For fellow Opera fans out there, an eye for an eye, an insult for an insult.

I’m sorry, but this is a Mozilla vs Opera issue. I mean for god’s sake that idiotic article was posted on SpreadFirefox. Not a single soul except myself made the comment that Zooming and Scrolling aren’t part of Acid2.
Heck some people even encouraged the article.

Doesn’t pass for me, FC4, no scrolling or resizing or fit to width

What on earth is this natmaster/Nathaniel guy talking about?

How come this guy dares to write an article about Acid2 if he doesn’t know what position:fixed means?.

Why WaSP posts such a misleading and vague blog entry?. Why haven’t they clarified that this is just nonsense and there’s no doubt Opera passes the test?.

Whatever…”FUD spreader” suits better in this case :-\

My Opera does not pass Acid2 with build 8533, but this could be because I installed it over the betas. This is how the page looks like (without scrolling, zooming or anything):

Anyway, a new Opera setup pass the acid test.

Ebola_Influenza, Acid2 test is written so, that some part of image are intended to move when scrolled and some are not. They are testing support for position: fixed by this (which IE has no, afaik).

So the fact, that the image gets distorted upon scrolling, is not just “not-a-big-deal”, but it’s the only correct way to handle Acid2. If the whole face would have moved without visual “artifacts”, that would indeed mean that Opera doesn’t respect position: fixed and so does not pass Acid2.

But since Opera does distort the rendering in exactly the way specified in the CSS, it passes Acid2 fully.

Hope this helps
