Two more bugs in Opera:

1) When I have two windows open and I'm selecting a portion of a URL I want to paste into the 2nd window in order to go to a site, upon switching to the other window and tapping in the URL window in order to paste the copied URL, Opera promptly crashes. This happens 20% of the times I tap in the URL window. It happens immediately upon clicking in the URL window.

2) When downloading a large video, the screen fades to black. I wish it would not do this during downloads at all, but if we HAVE to have our screen fade, then the other part of the bug is that after you wake it up from the faded screen, it no longer correctly reports the % complete of the download. It starts up from where it showed on the screen after it went to sleep. So if it stopped at 5% but actually downloaded 64%, when you wake it up, it only says 5%, and then starts counting again from there. We have no way to know exactly
how long the download will take at that point, leading to frustration. It
needs to remember % complete even if the screen goes black, but I really wish you'd make an option to "turn off screensaver during downloads" as long we leave the download window up and active, anyway.

These have been added to my Bugzilla report at

P.S. In my first post above, item #2 I wrote the following: "I leave the other 35% to mystery, cause who can really say they honestly know why it crashes every time?" I would like to amend that now. The OTHER 35% of the time that it crashes is when you click the Stop button on a long website that keeps downloading tons of stuff. When you interrupt the long website's never-ending sprawl down the page by hitting the Stop button (X), the system freezes up, and if you have CPU/MEM load AW utility on, you can then watch the red bar slowly creep up the right side for about 30 seconds until it reaches Full Red and you are then fubar'd and must pull the battery. I'm glad I found that other crash... I knew I was forgetting it... but it happens soooo often, I was bound to be reminded, heh.
