Opera 9.25 and Gmail

A couple of complaints. Firstly.....the 'updated conversation' 
notification when using gmail (web based) still displays but when you 
click on the link it doesn't update the conversation. Also, if you 
scroll down the page whilst the 'updated conversation' message is 
being displayed the notification area just seems to 'smudge' down the 
page...

I suspect this might be a java problem? I've re installed the latest

It's more likely to be Javascript than Java, they're two separate things  
that just sound alike.

gMail relies heavily on Javascript and in the past has used various  
Javascript functions that Opera didn't support. So Opera added support for  
them but then Google would update the gMail site and start using other  
functions that Opera doesn't support. This cycle has gone round a few  
times and is probably what you're seeing going on at the moment. However,  
Opera 9.50 is a significant upgrade (including a new Javascript  
interpretor) and includes new features implemented specifically with gMail  
in mind so hopefully it won't have any problems. It's currently in public  
beta testing so there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out  
before it formally replaces 9.25, but you could always try installing it  
alongside your normal version and test it. If you still see the problems  
it would help to post a bug report.
