window.closed always false when pop-ups setting set to block all pop-ups

When I try this code:

var wnd = window.open(...);
setInterval(function(){ if(wnd.closed !== false) alert("closed");}, 500);

And settings "pop-ups" is: "block all pop-ups", alert("closed") will never work!

Is it bug, how to fix it?

Which version of Opera?

I know Presto (Opera 12 and earlier) did that intentionally - so that sites wouldn't kick you out for blocking their pop-ups. I don't know what current versions do.

Though you're in the wrong part of the forum - this area is for discussing the "My Opera" website.

Sorry, you can move this post to the right part of the forum? I saw this text: "Feedback, requests and bug reports about My Opera community." and it confused me.

Yeah, 12.15 is Presto.

Moved to Opera Browser.

Hmmm. And then we wonder why a number of website coders either refused to code their sites for Presto or actively sniffed against it... just sayin'
