opera 10.10 beta hangs on loading, saving

[ExecutorElassus]

This is a problem Opera had a while back, which is why I switched to firefox for a while. There are two:

first, Opera can't seem to load asynchronously. That is: if I have several tabs open, and one of them is loading an element that isn't responding, I can't do anything with any other pages, or close tabs, until I cancel that page's load. In other words, if Opera can't finish loading one thing on one page, it can't do anything else in the meantime. This is super-annoying.

Second: the save dialog doesn't work. Specifically, I was trying to download a windows dll to get a program working in wine, from this page. Clicking the download button opens a window with another link. Clicking that link gives me the open/save dialog, which proceeds to do nothing. I can't close it, close the tab, close the popup, or anything: I have to kill Opera. This is also super-annoying.

Any suggestions on how to fix either of these problems?

Thanks,

EE

I'm having the first problem as well since I updated to opera-10.10b. With the 10.0 version this worked just fine.

I downgraded back to 10.0 right after and weirdly enough the problem is happening there too now.... Of course a lot of other packages were updated since I was doing a "--update --deep world" so maybe it's an update from a different package that is causing this?

I hope someone has a solution for this, it's quite annoying

Same problem here.

Haven't tried downgrading, but had some spare cycles so I tried rebuilding everything used by opera (emerge -e opera) to see if that changed anything. I think it did, but not enough. I'll post my emerge --info - someone might find a clue there. I'll update if I find a solution.

[edit] I did try moving my .opera to see if a new profile would do any good, it did not [/edit]

Hi.

It's a Qt issue it seems. A fix is in the works. In the meantime, downgrading Qt is a possibility.
(discussed here: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=294599)

Ah, there's even a gentoo bug on it, and a workaround (emerge opera with the qt-static use flag enabled). More info here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/287905

I guess this bug could be marked as solved?

[Kaylana]

Nice, thanks for the info!

Emerged opera with qt-static and it's working perfectly again now.

[kiksen]

Fine, please add [solved] to topic.

Fantastic - i just happened to find this post while searching for something else.... now opera works again!

If only flash didn't cr*p out after a few hours I'd be as happy as larry.
