Two browsers, two problems
Hi folks,
I tend to experiment with browsers and am currently using Chrome Dev build 10.0.648.18,Opera 11.11 and Firefox Minefield.
Normally Chrome has been the most used but with the latest Dev builds, in fact for several builds now, I can't figure a way to display the url address.
The address bar is now the "omni" bar and is basically a search bar. This does not display the page address and consequently I can't copy and paste a link from a page. This is a real nuisance and I can't believe it's not "doable"
Also, I recently upgraded to Opera 11.11. I was immediately impressed with this new version and it's extensions and overall usability. So much so that I immediately made it my default browser.
However I have now discovered a major problem.
I use Gmail and the problem lies with this. I can access Gmail in Opera and read my mails etc but something curious happens when I try to compose and send a mail.
I can enter the address and subject as usual but when I begin to type in the main text box I can see the cursor moving but no text is visible. I cannot see what I have written.
I imagine that both of these problems are down to me missing something obvious as I've seen no other complaints about them.
Can anybody throw any light on either of these issues as they render both browsers unusable to a certain extent.?
At the moment Minefield is behaving itself so I'm using that but I'm missing Chrome for it's speed and I was growing very fond of Opera until I discovered I couldn't send emails from it.
Any input would be most appreciated, John:)
