Opera 9.51 Date Object, and canvas

[Dr J R Stockton]

The accustomed error with Summer Time in the UK on Opera up to 10.10 has
been replaced in Opera 10.51 with a different error concerning offset
from GMT and affecting current years :

new Date("2010/03/28").getTimezoneOffset() -> -59.99998333333333

+new Date(1970, 0, 1) -> -3599999

Also :

new Date() + " " + new Date() -> two numbers (ms from end 1969 GMT)

I also find a problem with canvas. And toPrecision is still wrong.

Opera notified, via Help.

More details if/when known.

On the other hand, while that PC is still apparently booting & running,
the screen or its driver has died totally.

Note crosspost.

Such an error is also seen in Bulgaria, so it seems to me likely that it
appears at least everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere with Summer Time.

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.
