Re: FACEBOOK Snafu

I usually have problems with Opera 10 and the Facebook games, specifically
FarmVille, FarmPals, and YoVille. Usually the first time I access one of the
games on a fresh Opera session it'll work fine and all the page links work.
If I then go to one of the other games (Say FarmVille to YoVille) things
start to go wrong.
Firstly, the page links stop responding. They just act like normal text. Not
even the chat/notifications/bookmarks works. I can usually fix this by
hitting refresh and then clicking one of the links.
Secondly, some of the games fail to load correctly. FarmVille will continue
to play its music and display messages in the Flash area, like when you have
gifts, but you just can't interact with it in any way. It acts like the page
links act in the first problem. This one I can only, temporarily, solve but
closing the tab and going back to the game again. Doing a refresh doesn't
solve this problem. It'll also come back if I change to another game.
YoVille also has problems properly loading its data. The loading progress
bars will stay at 1% until the very moment that I switch to another window
or even another tab, and then it'll start loading. It also fails to properly
load rooms when switching, some times taking me to outside the complex, some
times still loading the room but just telling me that it failed.

I'm guessing that this is all some problem between Opera and Flash, not
Opera itself. I don't have problems with any other pages until I try to use
the games.

The only real problem I have with Opera and Facebook is that it doesn't
display quiz results for me. I get a starting blank content area, but if I
scroll down a bit then I get a list of my friends, but that's the only thing
on the page. I can view the source of the page and get my score from that,
but that gets annoying after a while.
