Opera 10.51 - slow and some regressions
Previous version: 10.10.
Platform: winxp pro sp3. Tried to set-up opera 10.51 yesterday, but couldn't compose letters in gmail: very lazy reaction in textarea, I don't like to type blindly same like in ssh term via phone line modem :-)
Pros: gmaps works fine and fast.
Other cons:
* cannot disable new tab animation via settings
* if you disable 'close button on each tab', you do not get standard windows current-document-specific 3 buttons (min, window, close) on top right -> so cannot close document using mouse at all. Shame on you, opera devs, it's a major UI regression! Have you been tested the usability?
