What bug? I'd be interested to hear that since Presto tends to be more compliant that Gecko by a factor of ten.
The only 'major' bug I can think of is on the CSS side - the rendering error that occurs putting position:absolute elements inside display:inline elements... and anything doing that can hardly be called 'simple'. (and was fixed in 9.5 by all appearances)
DOM/js side I've found nothing amiss - unless you are trying to ice-skate uphill on stuff that doesn't work in IE or Safari either or using Gecko specific calls.
Of course, if you are a .js fan, Kestrel's performance in that arena should be a real joy being it's possibly the fastest implementation out there.

Same for me. In KDE, Opera's menu icon (File | Edit | View) have a grey background instead of displaying the native Opera background. Looks ugly. I have reported it to the Opera developers 3-4 times in their bug-reporting page, always with screenshots but no feedback and no fixes. It's been there for almost two years now. Has anyone had any feedback at all from the Opera developers after reporting a bug?

Since than they've added all kinds of features to the browser, from a jet engine to a kitchen sink, but this annoying little bug remains
