Switch From Snap to Official .deb

The Snap build is the most common source of session issues.

Remove Snap:

sudo snap remove opera

Download the official .deb from:
https://www.opera.com/download

Install:

sudo dpkg -i opera-stable_*.deb
sudo apt -f install

The .deb version stores profile data normally under:

~/.config/opera/

This alone fixed the issue for many... you can try and tell if it worked or not. I am most probably sure, this will be working for you too.

About 2x as difficult, given the size with and without the padding area, which is a huge difference. At least some of the surrounding padding definitely should be included in the clickable area.

As I promised, I have made a video that shows the bug: https://1drv.ms/v/c/dedcb6ef190b8fd4/IQAk_w7fipsPTru3C57cuB6zAVuUn2gZngJ5q60flCrctOQ?e=C5SKSC

Pay attention to the new tab button from the island (the bullet white button).

P.S. For better definition, download the video (I uploaded in my OneDrive).
