Description MAL 2004-05-28 00:29:36 UTC

Ever since I upgraded to 7.50, opera refuses to save the state of buttons on what I can only describe as the address bar.

The bar contains, "rewind", back, forward, "f.forward", reload, wand, address box, google box, zoom, security and show images.

I right click on each of; rewind, f.fwd, wand and google and choose "Remove from toolbar", then click File->Exit.

On next load, they return.

I appreciate that this could be a bug in opera itself, but I don't have another platform to test it on.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




I have tried it with my usual ~50 pages open, and with just 1 blank page open 
(the bar doesn't show without at least 1 sub-window open).  And I have the pages 
within opera, not separate pages on the desktop.

Hi,
I managed to remove some buttons, as you described. After restart they didn't return. You may try to rename ".opera" in your home directory, and try with a fresh .opera dir that will be created automatically, so without losing your old directory. Opera bugs can be found here as well: [ http://list.opera.com/pipermail/opera-linux/ ].

could you get it working?

Yes and no.  It was obvious that it was a problem with the preferences file, but I wondered if it could be a problem with Opera on Gentoo systems only, as the opera people don't seem to have had any similar problems.

Starting afresh with preferences does indeed work, with the down side of having to reconfigure all.
