OK, thanks, had a chance to test, and the load-css-in-separate-tab-and-refresh-it-there method DOES still work in opera Developer.

So there is some chance this brokenness will be short-lived.

However - it would be lovely if the refresh button actually refreshed the page contents - even in the Dev version it does not actually work as it should.

When I edit the css of a site, and then refresh in Opera, the new CSS is not loaded.

I used to have a workaround where I load the css document in another tab, and refresh that tab, go back to the actual page tab and hit refresh.

Now, in Opera Beta 47, even that does not work. The page stubbornly reloads with the old CSS. It's maddening!

So, to do any CSS development at all I need to go to Firefox.

Will this get fixed, or is Opera just not made for developers? Why doesn't refresh have at least an option to reload ALL the document's links?

Here's a work-around: Open the stylesheet directly in another tab. Refresh this tab, then refresh the tab with the page.

Opera REALLY ought to have a better way to deal with refreshing content, but that's all I've got for now. Otherwise it persistently caches the stylesheet and I can't see the results of my edits.

I'd be very interested to hear any better options for a force / hard refresh of css and images.
