A black square pops up at the top of the screen when browsing in Opera and does not go away. What on earth is it?

I have the Blackstone and cannot figure out what black square you're referring to on the browser. Care to be more specific?

He is talking about the Opera Browser you can see in all the HD videos. When the phone is switched to landscape mode it is displaying a strange black square at the bottom. i dissapears when you scroll on a page but when you stop its suddenly there again.
That's it Raziel1. I see it in the videos on Youtube. When you scroll it vanishes but when you stop it comes back again. I am so puzzled as to what it is for.
its the new zoom feature isn't it? when u hit it it brings up a zoom scroll bar so you can zoom as much or as little as you want instead of just double tapping the screen.
to the OP, are you sure it's at the TOP? there shouldn't be anything at the top. there should be TWO black squares at the bottom corners (one on each side), regardless of orientation. the left one is zoom, the right one is new page (or shrink current page to a tile).
Ok go here to see a video of it:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TykCSs44TAs
Move the progress bar below the video to 4minutes and 6 seconds and watch fro there onwards. Clearly seen in landscape browsing. What is it and can it be disabled in options?

Ok so what else you'd like to know about the Blackstone, I have seen so much info on it when Googled
So of all the people who seem to have the phone, no one can tell me what that square is yet?

looking at the newest youtube videos, it seems that this square was just part of the prerelease version. more a bug than anything else maybe.

Just discovered nice little touch on PIE (you may all know it already). When in full screen mode the "Volume Slider" works as an up/down scroll bar (sadly only jumps from link to link).
I only discovered this cos I am trying to find a way to get true scrolling in PIE, instead of it TABBING from link to link. In most instances this is fine, but a real pain if there are hundreds of links at the top of a web page. Any advice?
Sorted - Real Page Down Scrolling
Sorted it, found on another forum. Change PIE Scrolling from TABBING to normal PAGE DOWN/PAGE UP.
Edit registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav
Change Value from 1 to 0.
Also works when in FULL SCREEN with the VOLUME SLIDER.
Sweet hack.
That's one for the Wiki IMO
nice one dude! Implemented it straight away.
This hack was included in Tweaks2k2 a long time ago (option Internet Tricks/PIE Smooth Scrolling).
Wish there was a way of scrolling smoothly, line by line, and not by a full screen at a time... :?:

Hmm. I know it's a matter of personal preference but I quite like the link-to-link scrolling. It seems smart enough (i.e. if there are links on a page then it scrolls through them, but if the page has no links then it goes page-by-page). It means I can view a webpage and navigate the web without taking out the stylus to tap the screen. I just wish I could read long news articles line-by-line (or even halfscreen-by-halfscreen) rather than jumping entire pages with only 10 pixels overlap.

I dont know if anyone has tried or thought about it.....But what if the TF3d scroll bar went Vertical on the side of the screen? Almost like widgets on Samsung Omnia, but tf3d, since it looks and works a lot better. Anyone else think this would be cool.....B/c u could also see more tabs at once if it went Vertical
that would be cool never thought of that! I don't have capabilities to do that but i bet someone does. I also think though i would might have to be seperate app not tf3d because its so different, but you never know

This is an excellent idea!
I must say thats a killer idea!
I just wanted to show that it is possible...
Don't have time to do it proper right now...
Maybe I have some time to play with it tonight..
But if the vertical menu should be on the right side,
I have to move all buttons in tab's that are placed on the right side of the screen...
(mail, camera, music, People...)
I think It will be easier to make the menu on the left side...?
This menu is working!
yeah dudes, that will be veeery cool!

i have heard on youtube reviews it is not possible...thats why i am wondering.
the iphone browsing experience is great, and is full screen.
On the Leo it is not full screen, even when you zoom out.
what about ticking auto full screen in the settings menu?

I'm a little confused by this. Do you mean Opera 10? I only ask because the default Opera (9.7) that comes installed on the device is always in full screen, except when you use the menus.
same for opera 10.. always in fullscreen except when using the menus
maby i said it wrong...with fullscreen i ment viewing the whole page. only able to scroll down, not sideways.
Opera always goes to fullscreen mode automatically.
And actually it goes to REAL fullscreen, not like on the iPhone where you still have that bar on the bottom taking away screen real estate (that's already very limited on the iPhone anyway, with that low resolution and smaller screen).
Don't know where you found that information that Opera would not do this, but it's wrong.
You can turn that off in the settings, however.
EDIT:

Ah yes, now I understand what you mean. Yes, you can do that also, by setting the "virtual screen width" higher.
if it still wont work, type about:config in your browser
and then go to user prefs and see if there are some options permanently activatet wich do not allow the browser to go into fullscreen!
This is what you're searching for:
- type about:config
- click on 'adaptive zoom settings'
- set 'virtual screen width' to 1000 (or something great enough for all the pages you visit)
- click 'save' and restart Opera
Thanks for the question, I'll include this in my next ROM
I like not having to scroll sideways, but was too lazy to change it
yeah thats it! i was to lazy to get my phone to look it up^^

anyone seen this icon when browsing xda dev in opera? seen for first time ten minutes ago after 4 weeks use. looks like it maybe could be full screen or something but doesn't do anything., not there permanently, comes and goes as I zoom and scroll.

Yep, i've seen it too and don't know what it is. What I do know is that the icon is named icon_iframe in the opera skin file. Maybe that does ring a bell with you? Here, it stays very silent
Strange, but glad i'm not just seeing things! hehe. Not seen it since i posted about it, lets hope ignorance is bliss...

A joke would be to make a skin for opera and replace this icon by for example: (since it does nothing and means nothing and only randomly pops up only once a week ....)
Hah, or 'click here'
Do you use full screen mode? I do and that is the icon that is there except when I am scrolling. Clicking it brings up the "non-fullscreen" style menu. Not sure why you would see it there otherwise.

Yea i have 'auto full screen' selected in options, and clicking the icon does nothing.
I have that problem as well. I don't know what is is. Never botherd me.
Well guys if it's name is Icon_iFrame then it should bring up some menu for iframe element in html. Or maybe loading the page in iframe as a new tab. But I really dont know, just guessing =)
I'm having an odd problem with Chrome in this phone that I didn't with the One X. After a page has completely loaded if I rotate the screen, almost half the screen is black before it renders it. If going to upright, the bottom half is black and if going to sideways the right side is black. Doesn't happen with the stock browser.

just released a new version today. did you try it?
Yep, still doing it.
This is one of the reasons I've been looking forward to getting this phone, so I can use Chrome and sync with my PC. Anybody else having this problem?
No issues here
Maybe a similar problem here... when i rotate my screen, it scrolls to a totally different part of the web page. I have to go hunting to find out where i was on the page after rotation.

What do you want to sync with Chrome? The stock browser asks you to sign in to Google then gets all your history and bookmarks from Chrome already.
