Opera 10 goes backwards when clicking a link sometimes
OPERA
the previous page instead of the link I just clicked. It doesn't seem to happen on any particular
site. And only very occasionally. So its a minor problem but I was wondering if anyone else has
experienced it?

In other posts of yours where you complain of clicking links, you've
been asked to provide exact URLs of the pages that fail for you, and to
give specific examples of what didn't work. I doubt you will receive
much help until you do - as the mysterious site may have bad coding, or
... since you seem to be the only one in this group with the problem,
heck, it might even be a mouse problem on your computer.
I also sort of wonder why you've named yourself "OPERA" when you don't
really seem to like the browser.
BTW, please set your line-length to something around 76 characters. Your
choice of 100 causes replies to not quote correctly.

A mouse problem would probably reveal itself with other programs.
I have started to list some URL's. Will continue to do so.

Lol...that was an error - I was inputting in the news server from another account.
I'll change it soon to something a little more logical. I do love this browser and
have been faithful to it for several years, first in Windows, then in OS X (temporary
lack of sanity) for a couple of years, then thankfully back in Windows. I just hate it
when pages don't load. I think I'll try a reinstall soon though to check things out.

Meant to do this before. Thanks for reminding me. Its set to 76 now.

If you've got mouse gestures on and you're already holding down the
right button, clicking the left button will go a page back.
Hold-right-button-and-click-left is a very handy mouse gesture in Opera.
You can go forward with holding the left button and clicking the right.
There's almost no way to navigate faster than this.
Probably you're just hitting both buttons at the same time when clicking
or maybe you got some extra buttons on your mouse to navigate
forwards/backwards (my Logitech mouse has those too, but I never use
them).
So the problem should most likely be your equipment (right mouse button
reacts too fast) or your gross motor skills.

It was only a temporary blip when mouse gestures controlled
flipback/forward. There's now a separate setting for enabling mouse flips:
opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableMouseFlips

..or it might be that you've been futzing with mouse gestures and have
some wonky thing selected or set up.

Heh, I wouldn't say "thankfully back in Windows." But that's another
story.

'Cept in the "Lol..." paragraph above, where it seems to now be 88

No mouse gestures on here. I use a mouse that allows back and forward
scrolling through pages, as well as page up and down as well as close
program. 5 shortcuts I couldn't live without. Or at least I'd waste a lot
more time without them!

My motor skills are pretty good - better than 95% of computer users out
there! I've typed fast since I was a teenager. Never look at the keyboard.
Remember - these issues only happen when in Opera. If it was a motor skills
problem I'd see it all the other programs as well.

Maybe Opera is conflicting even though you do not have gestures enabled.
How about using gestures instead of what is already programmed on the
mouse?

"Opera" gave some examples that don't seem to work for him, but do for
everyone else participating.
I know the meaning of the word random.
