Strange behaviour with obsolete HTML-Code in O7.6p3
thorstenf
when trying to render this page?

It's a german ebay-auction; the description includes lot's of obsolete
font-tags, which are responsible for slowing Opera down for - at least
- 4 minutes (on W98SE/P200 and W-XP/AMD1700).
The effect shows up, when srolling down.
IE6 handles this with ease, and that is the reason for this post.
Something completely different:
First:
I like the new panel-toggle, but since I prefer my main toolbar (full
button set) at the left edge of the sreen, the toggle doesn't make
much sense...
It would be great to locate the toggle at the ***left-most*** edge of
the screen: left of ANY possible toolbar instead of just left of the
panel.
Second prop:
Middle-click is configured to open new window in background (standard,
I guess). This works great except for a middle-click done in the
bookmarks-panel. The new window is stealing focus (watched since
O7.23). Is there some setting or workaround I missed?

confirmed, O7.60 P2/P3 (and the same in 7.54)
BTW: no probs with this page in Firefox

Confirmed, Opera starts using 100% CPU and renders the page very slowly
while scrolling through the middle section.

I only had a brief look at this page, but I think I could
hazard a guess that the 420 nested <FONT> and <STRONG> tags,
in combination with the two stray </LI> and </UL> *inside*
the mess, is what is causing Opera trouble.
It looks like some automatic page generation gone horribly
wrong. Or if, heaven forbid, this leaking sack of cat vomit
pretending to be HTML is *intentional*, I think the best course
of action is to go over there and put the author to death.
Ah, wait a minute... There's a comment at the beginning
that says... "msxml 4.0". That should explain everything.
