[1.0 Beta] Opera 9 redraw bug

[ilazarte]

Opera 9 is loading pages in the demo app with an incomplete screen redraw.

i.e.:
http://extjs.com/deploy/ext-1.0-beta1/docs/
Loads up with the entire right side blue, and not the correct panel content.

This can be fixed by checking for the opera object, and doing a small hack to get it to render. I was told to do this by a member of the Opera team . Where it should fall in the Ext code I don't know, but it should be the last thing to happen in order to get the screen the latest visual intent.

            if (window.opera) {
                document.body.style += '';
            }

I know this thread is old, but if someone like me gets here through google with the same issue. The following helped me out - in combination with prototype, you can redraw and element with the following function:

Element.addMethods({
                redraw: function(element){
                    element = $(element);
                    var n = document.createTextNode(' ');
                    element.appendChild(n);
                    (function(){n.parentNode.removeChild(n)}).defer();
                    return element;
                }
            });
