The first test is:

   http://abrahamjoffe.com.au/ben/opera_canvas_bugs/bug_scale.htm

Definitely an Opera bug. I've added a test based on this to my test suite:

   http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/canvas/031.html

The second test:

   http://abrahamjoffe.com.au/ben/opera_canvas_bugs/bug_restore.htm

...is actually a bug in Firefox and Safari:

   http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/canvas/032.html

The third test:

   http://abrahamjoffe.com.au/ben/opera_canvas_bugs/bug_rect.htm

...seems to work everywhere now.

The fourth test:

   http://abrahamjoffe.com.au/ben/opera_canvas_bugs/bug_clip.htm

...is indeed an Opera bug. The spec seems clear, though:

# The clip() method must create a new clipping path by calculating the 
# intersection of the current clipping path and the area described by the 
# current path (after applying the current transformation), using the 
# non-zero winding number rule.

Is that confusing?

I've created this test:

   http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/html/canvas/034.html

...based on your test.

The fifth and final test:

   http://abrahamjoffe.com.au/ben/opera_canvas_bugs/bug_data.htm

...seems to work everywhere now.

Thanks for the feedback,
