I've a graphics toggle button custom-installed so that it is off by default. The issue is, for example, browsing this forum, right-clicking on a thread, only by knowing the third answer from the dialog top means Open in New Tab ... would I know to open the thread in a new tab. Additionally, even in the newly-installed-today otter-browser, when typing in a url, for example, it is not echoed back, as if one were typing a password even without asterisk feedback. [ The issue is NOT present, here in the forum UI, however... ] ... rendering the otter-browser useful principally running it one instance per URL, from the command line, so that one can even type in the url accurately.
Right now, at the top.

custom button no letters
usermode-author mode no letters, unusable button
graphics on-off ,no letters, usable by memory
some other button I've forgotten
the magnification dialog, I could go up or down within the numerals,
but they are not shown, so I've no clue as to the nature of then new
magnification.

The concern is, all these customizations, which took years, may be lost and
unrepeatable mostly, at least easily, if I attempt to remove all traces of any
opera install for a new attempt at one.
Soi I am wondering if it is a CSS issue or a GTK2 quirk or something...

I've a v10 that has not been fully updated from v9 (all the ports) and opera still
runs fine. Applying a few confs from that one, to this one, made it slightly less
broken, but still not upto usability as per the missing consonants... and was a
bit of effort.
