I just upgraded in Linux and that is worse than before. It used to be that, yes, the 'find' box was constantly disappearing but at least when you brought it back, it had the same text in it. Now, it's always blank. How very stupid that this can't be changed, I don't know how anyone can put up with it. There are things to like about Opera, but this is so frustrating that I will probably uninstall.

Just in case the devs don't know, Opera now no longer works under Debian Testing. The library "gstreamer0.10-plugins-good" appears to be the problem. It was fine until a few weeks ago, then an upgrade decided it had to remove that lib.
