I just noticed that it still causes the problem above.
i mean there is a bug in opera that causes voting to fail on the existing bug viewing/voting/editing page (where the voting stuff is in a box that is floated to the right of the bug header). in my testing, the bug in opera is no longer triggered by the new version of this page (where the voting form is below the bug header). regardless of whether the new version triggers this bug in opera or not, it remains a bug in opera. i'm not going to spend any more of my time figuring out how to work around it. >> i really, really do not want to force people to register and deal with >> all that. if abuse of the voting system becomes a problem, we'll figure >> out a way to deal with it at that time.
