Kind regards,


Frank and James, thanks for the response.

I haven't a clue what the Bug Report number is, and I don't remember  
if I ever gotten one. It was a web form system, I simply filled up the  
form, gave the symptom, detail, and link for the example. I must have  
prompted a 'Thank you for filing a bug report' message after it was  
sent. Sorry, that's all I could remember.


Here is the page with opacity declared in CSS
http://www.lotusfromthemud.com/about1 (bottom section)

and here is the recent encounter
http://marinersq.com/

It's a mootools slideshow, using ken burns effect, when the image pans  
out, you can clearly see the opacity is lost. I informed the author of  
the script, he said he will look into it and see if it can be fixed  
from his ends, however I really think this is caused by Opera opacity  
bug.


I also think this bug must be quite random and unpredictable. As you  
can see, the background for the caption also has opacity, and it does  
work. When I googled 'opera opacity bug', I landed a few sites that  
reported it was fixed, I checked the examples, it seems it was. But  
it's not for my case.


is there -opera-opacity rule?

[WSG] Opera opacity bug

2008-07-15 Thread tee
I posted a message about Opera bug last december and filed a bug  
report. Recently I discovered the bug also affecting js slideshow that  
I used for a client's site. So I tracked back the site I did last  
year, sure enough, the bug was not fixed in Opera 9.5


Have any of you encountered this bug in with your web projects?

I googled the Opera Opacity bug, saw a few articles about it and some  
reported it was fixed. It never! I remember there is an Opera  
developer in this list, so I am positing this message here as I don't  
want to create an Opera account in their forum.

Re: [WSG] Opera opacity bug

Hi

I guess the first questions are - where is the bug report, do you have an 
example url and what is the opacity issue you mention ?

If I remember rightly (and I stand corrected) opera uses Qt 3 as it's 
widgeting engine and I think the Konquerer/KHTML developers were running into 
similar issues with Qt3 and opacity (i.e difficult to get it working). I 
think their decision was wait until Qt4 to avoid hacks - in any case 
Konquerer 4 is now using webkit + Qt4 so it would be interesting 
if -webkit-opacity rules are applied or  even plain old opacity : N


Thanks
James
