Dialog: can't get value from textarea in modal dialog second time dialog is opened in Opera

Steps to reproduce in Opera:

1. Click 'click here' link to open the dialog
2. Type 'some text' in the textarea
3. Click 'Alert' button to close the dialog
4. See 'some text' in the alert
5. Close the dialog
6. Click 'click here' link to open the dialog
7. Type 'some more text' in the textarea
8. Click 'Alert' button to close the dialog

Expected result:

• See 'some more text' in the alert

Actual result:

• See no text in the alert

Doesn't happen if you set modal: false, or do in browsers other than Opera.

Another odd behaviour: Don't remove the textarea value on the button-click, then open the dialog, enter something, alert, close, open, remove text manually, alert - that will still alert what you entered previously.

Neither Scott nor I get anywhere with this. Could you try to produce a testcase with the use of jQuery UI, that we or you could submit to Opera?

I honestly have no idea what the problem was, but it no longer exists in trunk.
