Bugs in Opera August 20, 2002 2:05 PM   Subscribe

Two things: 1) In Opera the spellcheck appears to be deleting my posts.
2) In the Opera browser the main page, but not metatalk or any of the comments, is blinking and resetting my scroll bars. It does look kinda cool but....

Hm... I use Opera, and haven't seen any weirdness. What version are you running?

Spell-check deletes my posts after clicking done in Opera 6.01/Win32.

Okay, I take back the "no weirdness" thing - I had never tried the spellcheck function before. You're right, holloway, it does the same thing to me in 6.04/Win2k.

It's all fun and games until the epileptic seizures set in...

I'm surprised there aren't wrongful death lawsuits over creation of the blink tag for Internet Explorer.

weird. well, I guess don't use the spellchecker (it uses basic javascript to talk to the comment box), or use mozilla instead.

That's because it was in Netscape.

kindall: d'oh. I always get the proprietary marquee and blink tags mixed up. Guilty as charged.

Opera is my standard browser, and I don't get any scrollbar problems, but the spell check deletes whole posts except for replaced words, in both MeTa and MeFi. (Opera 6.05 / Win98.)

I know that Opera has no support for the "overflow" CSS property, but I don't see anything in MeFi's CSS which could be causing problems. (Unless those proprietary colored scrollbars are doing things?)
