well, I have a special love for version 7.53, which had all the little shortcuts set to MY liking, so I keep it 'over at the side' for certain operations, like collecting a bunch of images of wood & trees from sites where they are on different pages. 7.53 just 'behaves' the way I prefer.

I'd bet that whatever problem you're having is either not in Opera, or will be corrected soon.

I still will not let them upgrade 10.10 to 10.51 until I am sure I really want it...but then I won't need it, as I HAVE 10.51. I have to decide whether I really like the redesigned interface.
