Yes, it is - from my point of view - the worst bug in (previous versions?) of Opera. Thats why I gave up supporting this browser in sites I've made...

did you think it might be a better idea to report it to them? So that they could fix it? no! you just whine about it and stick stupid comments in your meta tags. _All_ browsers have rendering bugs. _all_ of them. and all browsers require a little TLC to get pages working. if this was not the case, then this entire site would not exist.

just because your one favourite trick doesn't work does not mean you should drop support. That's why this list is here. So that we can be aware of the bugs and hopefully discuss a useful workaround.

That is a fact of life as a web developer. if you can't cope with that, don't be one.

As for this bug, it is fixed (because unlike you, I reported it to opera, so they fixed it) - currently for overflow != 'hidden' - which I know is what you use on your site.

Just downloaded Opera 8 and it appears the problem still exists. I have a list-based CSS menu that is relatively positioned above its container, so that a drop-shadow graphic can be positioned behind it (it needs to grow and shrink as the menu expands/collapses). The links above the container (the overflow section) do not work, nor does the hover action. This works fine in IE, Netscape, and Firefox, but not Opera. Any ideas anyone?

The anchored links seem to work just fine in an overflow:auto.

But other browsers as firefox and ie support it also in overflow:hidden while opera doesn't.
