Opera 21.0.1432.67 on Win 7 (32bit)

So I'm still testing this Chromium bastard, and beyond the awful usability problems there is a new one this morning : Speed Dial won't load up. You know, that thing that replaces my bookmarks? Not there.
I get about:blank and a "Loading..." message on my tab, but nothing further.

I was running Opera for quite a few hours yesterday and left the computer running (almost 24h) so I'm not sure if it's related, but closing Opera does not seem to help.

Earlier Opera would just hang on startup... not sure what's going on here. The vaunted process spamming doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas? (beyond "Upgrade to 21! It'll solve everything!" )

You sir, are a gentleman and scholar, and I thank you kindly!

So clearly, the issue is Opera querying the existence of a touchscreen and not getting the right info from Win10.
Hopefully this is only an issue with hybrids like my Yoga, because otherwise I can't imagine people on tablets will keep using Opera very long

Mmh, this appears to be dpi dependant.
I run a 1920x1080 screen, but with 150% scaling and I get the one story per page crap. If I go to 100%, I get the full shebang.

But no matter what, that left bar is almost constantly empty. Just look at it! 50% of it is just blank space. What a waste. And of course we can't just resize it... sigh

Whatever happened to Opera where you could change and customize everything T_T

So you found my thread with the exact same problem and yet you create a duplicate thread? Why not just +1 mine or post something to say you have the same problem there? o_O

OK, NOT FIXED!

What the actual FUCK is going on?!

I didn't install or uninstall anything at all. The only thing that's happened is my computer went into hibernation.
Now I'm back and no more interaction.

Can anybody at least tell me if anyone is looking at this?

Appears to be fixed in update 31.0.1889.99.
Nice!

I'm sorry but I've no idea what you're talking about. Can you be a bit clearer?
Is there another thread I could've posted to? Because I most certainly looked my issue in the forum before posting, but found nothing.

As it stands, I absolutely cannot use Opera in tablet mode. Nothing works.

I'm on Opera 30.0.1835.125 Stable, to be exact.
Also, fun thing, it says that the operating system is "Windows 8.1 64 bit (WoW64)"

So I switched to Windows 10 yesterday and ever since, no more touch screen interaction with Opera 30!
For the life of me, I think I still had some touch screen functionality when I started Win10, but today, nothing. No scrolling, no zoom in or out, not even clicking on links or interface buttons!
Anything in the client windows seems to have gone dead (so I can close/min/max the window and drag it around, but Opera menu and tabs don't do anything).

For info I'm on a Yoga 2, Win 10 64bit (whatever latest build this is), Opera 30 (latest).

Any ideas? It's not vitally important since I'm on a hybrid, but it makes Opera 100% useless in tablet mode!

No, I have that option unchecked.
But that's a moot point because that very option seems to only ever be used for cases where the linked content can't be opened in the browser, like a ZIP or EXE or something like that.
But a JPEG actually gets opened in the browser, if you click on a link to one. Just like an HTML page, for instance.
Alt+click on a link to a webpage and it gets saved (with the option unchecked).

And no, I'm not gonna check the option. The whole point is I wanted a convenient way to save multiple files on a page and I found one! Right here in Opera, no need for an extension!

BUT for some reason, that particular feature highlights the fact that Opera handles multiple downloads in an extremely poor fashion : it seems to open as many connections as possible, as you keep clicking. And then when you reach some random limit, it just crashes.

An elegant solution would be to simply have a max limit on concurrent donwloads and simply queue whatever got clicked, but apparently, that was too complex to implement by default... yes, I'm being sarcastic.

I have "Classic Images" installed, but it does not have anything to do with Alt+Click (I disabled it anyway, and it didn't prevent the crashes or stop me from using Alt+Click).

Another hint that maybe this functionality is a bit broken is that half the time, I will end up with the Opera menu appearing as if I had clicked Alt on its own.

Also just to be clear : Alt+click allows me to 'Save linked content to Downloads folder'. A wonderful bit of convenience which is oddly lacking from the context menu.
