I don't know about the transfer window, but I can confirm
that 9.5 is consuming GDI resources on W98SE. Try cycling
through the tabs and see what happens to the resource
meter.

See also a thread titled "Opera 9.50 on Windows Vista".


As far as I know, Opera has ever had problems in windows 98. In those dinosore days, when I was on windows 98 (with opera 6.x, 7.x and tested even on 8.x), I had to restart system after some time of surfing - opera slowly but sure eats all resources of win98. As far as I know, this has never been fixed, and with every new version of opera the resorces are getting depleted faster :-(

There is a specific problem in Opera 9.5 with GDI resources and the Transfers window, that will get fixed in the next update.
