Yeah, that still doesn't work for me, either.

Collapsing subforums works fine for me here .. using the latest snapshot

Nope, doesn't work.

1. Collapse subforums

2. Refresh

3. All collapsed subforums are not collapsed anymore.

;)

Not only that. I can't collapse more than one subforum.

When I click on the '-' for another subforum, it just turns to a '+', nothing more happens.

Anyway, I've reported it as a bug. It'll hopefully be fixed soon :)

Have you guys ever noticed the periodical burst disk read when using alpha?

this build seems to be the buggiest release so far for me . crashes very often ( unixbuild ) and many bugs reported :cool:

Yes... :)

- Hard drive usage in Kestrel

- New directory 'vps' (Purspose, Size, Path)

[tsupersonic]

I like it so far, and can't wait for the final release. The UI certainly doesn't feel faster than the official version of Opera (which is what 9.23?) I don't know how they're making that claim, oh well...

The only problem I have is that sometimes, when I click around pages, it will just stop, take 100% CPU power, and just freeze for 5 seconds. Everything else is looking good.

Does anyone get any repainting problems in Opera 9.5 alpha?

For instance:

The borders of this quote box

sometimes

disappear

and

redraw when

you scroll

[Steve Gosselin]

Does anyone get any repainting problems in Opera 9.5 alpha?

Yeap, confirmed... annoying bug.

[halcyoncmdr]

Yeah the repainting is annoying and I also get the freezing while browsing. Maybe it is related to RSS? I know in previous releases like 9.2 I would get a freeze while it checks all of my RSS feeds for new messages, and freeze upon opening the first time as I load and it retrieves RSS. But I am not sure if it is related, just an idea.

[Steve Gosselin]

Maybe it is related to RSS?

Very good question... :dontgetit:

[halcyoncmdr]

I might be wrong, after watching the habits a bit more, it doesn't seem to freeze on a regular battern of 15 minutes like my RSS feeds. But it does freeze again when first starting up and checking feeds, which was supposed to be fixed in the first alpha correct?

Overall this build is a bit buggier, but that should be fixed soon from my experience haha

[Steve Gosselin]

...which was supposed to be fixed in the first alpha correct?

Two latest builds contain many regressions.

[halcyoncmdr]

So I have noticed :p Makes it hard to use, but I don't want to go back either grr lol

[Shasoosh]

the new smooth scroll is so nice!

[Crazysah]

Are there any nightlies or just weeklies?

[Steve Gosselin]

Are there any nightlies or just weeklies?

No, only preview and snapshot builds.
