Is it just me kept running into issues with Opera? I really don't
remember having these problems so obvious with pre-version 9.5 that I
can't tolerate. I am getting this impression that the evolution of Opera
has come to an end and now it's rapidly reversing back to the buggy
primitive state that it almost mimics IE 6's behavior and the worse, I
don't have a conditional comment to make it works better. From some
articles I have read, I got a sense that Opera folks are very proud of
the CSS3 spec achievement, but my take is, if I have to make double
effort to have my layout render just slightly closer to FF and Safari, I
can't afford to care all those shiny CSS3 attributes and Selectors. What
is more aggravating is that it's less than 3% population that needs to
support.
Not the first time Opera, or any browser, goes into regression - or
worse. Lack of extensive real-world testing, I guess.
I can see that Opera is weakening on a few points that matters to me,
but generally the latest versions (9.5x & 9.60b) haven't created any
real problems.
Good thing Opera is hard to hack, or else those regressions might end up
being pretty permanent - as in IE. Might make it easier for some, but
not for progress.
Better to ignore those 3% or whatever if you can't make it work,
although I'm not sure Opera's performance is to blame for all your problems.
I still have not fixed the problem I have had from my previous post (and
still can't figure why the link and text are not clickable/selectable),
now I am seeing another two little problem.
In this link, it illustrates two issues: the screen shots on the right
are taken from Opera, as you can see, the background image drops to the
bottom in the breadcrumbs.

And the button, it works likes IE does, the difference is that IE
doubles the width and Opera doubles the height.
My font size declared in the body tag:
font: normal 100.1%/1.5em
Obviously Opera got it wrong again somewhere with em and pixel
calculation. Is this another new bug or something so old that never got
fixed ?
Have no thread/post to look at for debugging. What page(s) (links)
present the problem?
And here is another Opera problem I stumbled few days ago when I was
doing Opera bug hunting:
The page uses Prototype Glider script:
http://marinersq.com/index.php?id=50
In Opera, you will see clicking the snapshot on the left changes nothing.
Turn out I goofed, I forgot to load the script in the page (time wasted:
over 24 hours):
<script type="text/javascript">
var my_glider = new Glider('glider', {duration:0.5, frequency: 4});
</script>
But the fact that page still works (except without glider effect) in all
other browsers make me think this is just another bug of Opera.
Confirming that. Opera before 9.50 beta supported effects like that,
without scripting. No go in later Opera versions.
Example: <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_25e.html>
Here is the working page with glider script loaded.
http://marinersq.com/meet_trainers.html
if you go to homepage of the site, you will see another Opera opacity bug.
I see problems in that page, but even after side-by-side comparison with
Fx3.0.1 I can't see opacity problems. Care to explain? You can mail me
off-list if it becomes long-ish.
