“Wow, that’s 20 million people who now can’t use Google Spreadsheets. Sort it out Opera. I’m sick of being pushed towards Firefox.

I can understand that smaller websites occasionally have compatibility issues, but this is GOOGLE DOCS!!! This is one of the greatest challengers to ms office and your dropping the ball. I will not recommend Opera to people until this is fixed.”

Pffft. If I have to use an online word-processing app, I use Zoho.

Opera 9.51 is great, by the way.

I can understand that smaller websites occasionally have compatibility issues, but this is GOOGLE DOCS!!! This is one of the greatest challengers to ms office and your dropping the ball. I will not recommend Opera to people until this is fixed. As much as it pains me, I currently tell people to use Firefox.

Why not?

Many are commenting on where Opera 9.5 still falls short, and i am offering a suggestion to favoid having to rebuild my opera setup (finding the custom buttons, and other changes to my setup) when a new version is introduced.

Not having the “synchronize now” in the file menu as well as other odd behaviour are bugs, and while its great that so many people have downloaded and installed it, there still are many problems to overcome.

After all there are many here who feel that it was rushed. and that these annoyances might hurt market share when so many people download it to discover these new bugs.

Transfer leak was fixed in latest weekly

Stay on topic please. This is not the place to post feature requests.

something very comprehensive. So comprehensive that after installing Opera on a PC for the first time we just export what we want from the archive all we need to exactly duplicate the browsing experience we currently enjoy.

i had to uninstall opera 9.5 remove all traces of opera from my system and reinstall it to get all the new menu features and for things like removing the startmenu search box to stick. previously it would come back after each time i close and open the application

so to avoid the long rebilding of my opera experience a good archive like the one i want would go a long way in making me happy.

anybody else?

I will be installing version 9.27 again very shortly, just to get rid of the bugs; especially the awful bug concerning the whole application locking up and becoming useless once I download anything with a duration of more than 60 minutes! Someone else has already mentioned this bug above so I am simply confirming it.

As I said, great features, but please fix the bugs!

9.51 snapshot has some bugs sorted up and it is less memory consuming, however, it introcuded a bug (or it is a new feature?!?!) which ruined some of the functionality of the script I am developing. The problem is in XPath, so if anyone is experiencing problems with it please post here.

Anyway, great job Opera team!

I have to kill opera after 1h of usage or so cause it just shows nothing, no buttons, no tabs, all grey.

Looks like that grey “video” problem is somehow related with transfers, happens after transfering a lot.

Yes, Opera 9.5 has huge GDI-leak, at open-close page — +4 leaked objects. In transfer-page — leak is even fast.

Please someone approve my 1st comment and merge all to one, thanks

I’d like to note that some of those bugs are now fixed in Pre-Opera 9.51 (weekly).
