Since a few weeks, the Opera browser can't be used anymore to search Bugzilla. After entering a search query, "Please stand by ..." is displayed and nothing else happens. Reproducible at least with the current stable opera-12.16_p1860-r1 on amd64.
I have the same issue using www-client/opera-12.16_p1860-r1 on x86. Search didn't work properly about a month ago either, but some queries worked and some didn't, so I passed it as an overload or something. Steps to reproduce: 1) open opera-12.16_p1860-r1 2) go to https://bugs.gentoo.org/ 3) type pylibacl into a quick search box (or any text into any quick search box) 4) hit enter (or click with button) What happens: A gray page with a big "Please stand by ..." text appears and stays that way. Currently with 100% reliability. What I expect to happen: After displaying the text, opera should proceed to show the bug list. Details: After step (4), opera seems to send some requests or something, according to her status bar, then after some time dependent on the search query (1-2 s for "pylibacl" or "bazinga", 3-4 s for "python" or "fail"), the standby text is displayed and url is changed to https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?no_redirect=1&quicksearch=fail. Sometimes, the page stays in loading mode, sometimes has finished loading. Possible workarounds: a) Have developer tools open (Ctrl+Shift+I). b) Stop loading (if the page is still loading) and hit enter on the url, perhaps a couple of times. I have tried to check what is happening during the search, but the bug doesn't manifest itself when developer tools are open.
Phew, I doubt there is someone running legacy Opera in the team to be able to reproduce and work this.
Well, "legacy" Opera is still the latest stable Opera and the newer Opera versions are not available on x86. I don't know if I'm the only one, but I have still two x86 desktop machines running ;-)
I can confirm this from back when I was still running that version. I think it should be closed though. Opera 12 is beyond dead so upstream is never going to fix it. I wouldn't blame jer for never marking the new version stable as I know these binary packages can be a bit hit and miss. If you want the Opera 12 experience on x86, try Vivaldi.
