      I've tried a few videos on CNN page and all of them played fine here.

        Please specify if they played fine with HWA set to "on", too - or did they only in the "off"-position of that "switch"?

          What would be the meaning of testing it with hardware acceleration off? 🙂

            Well, to demonstrate the difference of course - that is, if there is any, as I have seen on half a dozen of different systems which all happen to hang with CNN-videos, but only on HWA="on".

            greetings

              Meanwhile v.46.0.2597.61 is out ...

              and the calamities described in this thread go on unchanged.

                It was reported already so it can be checked and fixed if the case?

                  Sorry "leocg", I somehow do not get the meaning of your last question. Reported, yes. Fixed? Still waiting, all I'm saying. How could it be "not the case" to be a problem if it can be clearly reproduced, depending on the "HWA"-setting = "on" and not occurring on "HWA" = "off"? And why was "HWA" = "off" not a problem until v.45 and has become a massive problem with many other sites (not only "Google maps") only since v.46?

                  greetings

                  Tom

                    Reported, yes.

                    If it was reported then it will probably get a fix if they can reproduce the issue.

                    BTW, put the bug ID here (without the @ part) for reference.

                      Thanks "leocg", I wasn't aware of that bug reporting procedure. I went under the assumption that bugs are reported by discussing them in this forum. Meanwhile there is such a report: DNAWIZ-18404. Does that mean that the so far unfixed "Google-maps" / v.46-general-loadig-bug may not have been officially reported either while having been amply discussed in this forum?

                      Btw, did you Opera-forum guys notice that this very site has practically been down for a day and a half from thursday 7/27 to friday 7/28? In particular when logged in you couldn't get past the "overview"-page which again kept loading and loading with the busy-cursur blinking frantically (sounds familiar with Opera v.46 from "Google maps"?)?

                      As soon as one would proceed to the Windows- (or any) problems page the browser kept jumping back to the "overview"-page within seconds again. That one seems now fixed. I'm wondering though if that phenomenon might also have been related to the v.46-loading problem and so far couldn't figure out how to determine if that one, too, has been "officially" reported via the "wizard"? Because over there it is only mentioned that a bug already discussed in the forum will probably have been "officially" reported via the "wizard" in the first place - but how to be sure?

                      greetings

                      Tom

                        There is a chance.

                        There is a topic about it and the information is that the issue was already fixed.
