4th updated, much faster window opening

@olli: It’ super-easy to parse! [The] Same old New Window [as before] now opens faster [than before]. Grammarly says it should be comprehendible.

This is my first time releasing a snapshot including all our internal processes. Did I do it right?

@daniel Yepp, very nice

If speeddial has a background image the window creation is noticeably slower. Only for me?

AltCode

@DoctorG Seems to open just as fast for me, with or without a background image.

finally portals arrive

@daniel @Ruarí Is correct to presume the portal load the common UI items whereas its child windows take care of the rest?

The computer says no.

I noticed an issue when maximizing a window. But it does not seem to relate to the new Portals feature. I tried changing the experiments setting and it happens both times. So maybe it is just something I hadn't noticed before. I noticed it with opening a new window, but it seems to have the same effect with only 1 window open.

This might sound confusing. When double-clicking the tab bar to maximize a window, the window will maximize, but also open the speed dial that is located where you double-clicked.

Here's how I reproduce it:
1 - Have a window open, unmaximized.
2 - Open Speed Dial page so that the Speed Dials are visible.
3 - Drag the window down so that the tab bar is aligned with where a row of Speed Dials will end up when the window is maximized.
4 - Move your mouse to the tab bar so that the mouse is aligned with one of the Speed Dials.
Note - after steps 3 and 4 your mouse cursor should be aligned with one Speed Dial (if you end up too far to the left or right of a speed dial, or above the top row of speed dials, it won't work)
5 - Double-click the tab bar to maximize the window
6 - The window will maximize, but also open the page that the mouse cursor is on after the window maximizes.

What I expect should happen is that the window will maximize, but not open the speed dial.

This might also happen with links on a normal page, but I haven't tested. It might just be that it is easier to have your mouse located over speed dials because they are relatively large.

Anyone else confirm?

Long time user here. Could anybody explain what a portal means in this context? I haven't the faintest idea.

Why? Not @Ruarí ?

@daniel Grammarly is completely correct. I comprehended it immediately. However, "comprehendible" is not an English word in common usage. "Comprehensible" is.

Aaron

@ugly Confirmed.

Yes, I can confirm that.

@Aaron I am on holiday. Also @daniel is awesome, we have worked together for years. Going all the way back to my first days at Opera. You are better off in his hands than mine… trust me.
