Let's not get too worked up about it, Opera users are a very small percentage, and I think they are used to having to use different browsers for different things,

It would be a bigger problem if LO's didn't play in Opera but they do.

I think Julian has responded previously that ideally the workspace and
authoring etc should work in Opera as well as the other common browsers but
as you say it doesn't crop up as an issue very often.

Just looking at this now.

It doesn't get into this function (single_click) at all - although you can
see the divs do have an onmousedown in them calling the function.

Is this just something that isn't going to work in Opera.  I don't suppose
it's a huge problem, I don't remember anyone ever contacting the list about
it so is anyone even using Opera?  I imagine it was the first and last time
I would ever have tried to use it in there anyway.

Then something odd must be happening

in website_code/scripts/screen_display.js

around line 798

if(div_name != null && div_name.highlight==false)

if the "should I select" JS code. I would guess maybe div_name isn't being
set properly in opera.

Just stick an alert before the if
