Thanks for the info.

So where should we report this bug to Opera devs if they don't read this forum?

I installed Opera 30 on a test PC running a clean-installed Windows Server 2012 R2 with latest updates and the browser always shows "Loading..." on the tab title without actually loading anything

I tried click on Settings and tried "opera://settings/", "opera://plugins/", "opera://bookmarks/" and so on but the browser keep showing "Loading..." on the tab title bar and shows a blank page. I even left the browser running for two hours and it was still "Loading..."

I uninstalled the browser, deleted user profile, cleaned registry and re-installed Opera again but the same problem remained.

Internet Explorer and Firefox I installed do not have any problem.

Windows event logs show no errors related to Opera either.

I have other Server 2012 R2 installations running Opera without any problem.

Does anyone what can I check to find out why Opera keeps "Loading..." forever?

Is there any command line option for debugging or logging errors?

Thank you.

Thanks for the info.

I know this is developer release not Opera Stable release but I wonder why Opera would release a new version with this bug unfixed because this is a very annoying bug.

Also pressing "." key (which is another shortcut key for find function with advanced keyboard shortcut turned on) also crashes the browser.

My two PCs running Windows 7 and Windows 8 both have their Opera Developer auto-updated to 28.0.1719.0 today.
But the updated version would freeze when I attempt to search strings on any web page via Ctrl-F.

Basically as soon as I press Ctrl-F, Opera Developer 28.0.1719.0 would freeze (except on the speed dial screen).

Anyone else has this problem?
Thanks.

Opera Developer 25 crashes often on my Windows 8.1 test VM too..
Opera Next 24 also crashes...
Opera Stable 23 okay..

I also noticed the latest Opera Developer 25 also tends to crash just like Opera Next 24.
I hope whatever is making these beta browsers crashing will be fixed before they are released as Opera Stable..

Do Opera developers read message in this forum?
I have feeling out complaints are going nowhere...

It looks like the built-in bookmark manager in Opera Developer 25 is a step in the right direction.

There is finally a search option and you can create folders on the left navigation panel but sub-folders do not seem to be possible. (Yes, I know abusing sub-folders in bookmark manager may lead to a messy bookmark collection).

Here is my suggestion to deal with the lack of sub folders.
If the left side panel only allow single level folders, I would suggest Opera implement groups within each folders so users have additional option to organize their bookmark collections. In my experience, having two levels folders in a bookmark collection is useful in organizing bookmark collections and I rarely use three or more levels of folders in bookmarks.

I suggest Opera take a look at online bookmark Draggo and look their visual implementation of "category".
(Bookmarks on Draggo can be categorized by Tabs and within each tabs you can have multiple categories).

Here is a sample of Draggo bookmark collections some user decided to make them accessible to the public:
http://draggo.com/251/science-and-health

Perhaps Opera developer can implement something similar that users can add inside each folder..
Basically the main bookmark folders would be equivalent to Draggo's tabs and groups would be equivalent Draggo's categories.

If the built-in bookmarks will be improved further and makes its way to the Opera Stable release, I may start using Opera as my primary browser again.

Right now I only use various Opera for web development testing purpose.
The built-in bookmark manager should have a feature included when chrome based Opera was first released.

I still don't believe that so called survey or auto-collected usage statistics that says 99% of users have never added one single bookmark in Opera. Most likely those users only install and run Opera for testing or evaluation purpose and are not using Opera as their primary browsers. Who actively maintains a bookmark collection in their secondary browsers? I don't. My bookmark collections are still in Opera 12. Other browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) on my desktop all have empty bookmarks.

Opera Next 24 would still crash often even if I have all plugins (including Flash) disabled by default.

I have "opera://plugins/" bookmarked on the bookmark bar so i can disable or enable plugins quickly.
Normally I have all plugins disabled by default.
