 | I've noticed a problem. When I right-click on a link and the menu drops
down, and then a cookie warning window (refuse, accept, etc.) pops up while
that menu is there (from another page loading), Opera stops responding. It
seems that if I go down to the task bar and click on some other window, then
go back to Opera, Opera comes back to life, but will crash in a few seconds,
after I clear the cookie window. This is getting to be a pain. Any ideas?
(Win2K sp4, Opera 7.54u1 registered) Is this a known bug?, any workaround?

Not certain, but try Esc on the keyboard. I've had a similar situation (an
email error while a menu was displayed) and that got me out of it.

pathetically as this? (Verbatim wrapping of what you sent.)

Other mail client programmers have long since learnt not to make that sort
of hideous to read mess (usually attributable to the crap performance of
MSOE).
With Opera trying to claim that they've got a wonderful mailer, they need
to address this basic issue (of not making a mess of the contents), long
before any other fancy issues (storage, search, filtering, etc.). This is
just crap!

I'm surprised, I thought that 40tude was supposed to be a more modern
client. Your post is not sent as "format=flowed" and hence Opera is not
sure where it can safely wrap lines. Format=flowed is a standard way for
one email client to tell another which lines actually end a paragraph,
without that the mail client has to guess. (And Opera isn't programmed to
guess.)
Of course, if you want a full discussion we should take this to the
appropriate newsgroup. Crossposted to opera.mail+news and followups set
there.

If you were using either Opera or Thunderbird, your own message would have
been quoted nicely. Well, unless of course you manually wrap your mail
yourself and don't leave trailing spaces. That's how Opera knows where
messages were wrapped, any line that was wrapped has a trailing space.
