Comment 1 Benjamin Coles 2004-01-14 21:11:22 UTC
did you check to see if this bug was a opera bug first? It works fine under the Windows opera I have running to test this
Comment 2 Benjamin Coles 2004-01-18 09:02:54 UTC
works per gora@gentoo.org
Comment 3 Elan Ruusamäe 2004-05-24 16:44:10 UTC
well, did you have alert javascript errors option turned on?

there's no object called 'description' on document. at least simple search did not reveal any. and therefore description evaluates to null
            var description = document.getElementById('description');


try opening 'enter new bug page' and enter this on location bar, you should get alert box with 'null'

javascript:alert(document.getElementById('description'))

when i compared html rendered for konqueror, then for opera there's really one part of html missing,  this <td></td> is empty:

          <td valign="top" width="100%">
              <div id="description" style="color: green; margin-left: 10px;
                                           height: 5em; overflow: auto;">
                Select a component to see its description here.
              </div>
          </td>

when i switched opera's identity to Mozilla/5.0 the block appeared (but not with MSIE 6.0)

so, i'm re-opening the bug, as the issue is really out there.
and the browser version is Opera 7.50-r1.

bugzilla bug.  while it may be a valid bug, it doesn't impair the functionality of the site.  I was able to comment/update/close bugs using Opera.

closing as wontfix.
