@Himmelsschlingel I see there's a 134 build for macOS and Windows (no Linux) at https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/134.0.5954.26/, but it's not approved for updating yet. As to why and why a post was published and removed, not sure.

@stubbedtoe Not sure.

@BrendonDe What exactly is the problem? How to try to reproduce it?

@ghastly-gruber said in Return the ability to separate search and url bar:

More often, I start typing something in the search but don't search before I realize that I need to copy the url from the page I'm currently on, but I can't find that url unless I refresh the page.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/copy-url-to-clipboard/miancenhdlkbmjmhlginhaaepbdnlllc. might help with that (as a workaround) for now.

On Windows, when Opera is in fullscreen mode and I hit ctrl + t, a new tab is opened and Opera immediately switches to it as I would expect. There's no address field in that new tab in fullscreen mode though to type an address to go to, but I can click on my speeddials etc. Old, Presto-based Opera had an option where if you pressed F2 (in fullscreen mode or not), you'd get a dialog with an address field where you could type an address and press enter. Something like that in current Opera might be nice.

In current Opera, you can do a little hack in fullscreen mode after you hit ctrl + t. You can then hit ctrl + shift + j to open the console, type document.location = "https://example..com/"; and press enter. But, it's probably just easier to F11 out of fullscreen, type the address, press enter and hit F11 again to go back to full screen.

Opera does have ctrl + tab and ctrl + shift + tab to cycle between tabs, which works in fullscreen mode too. That can be useful. If you want an instant no-visual switch, you can use ctrl + pageUp and ctrl + pageDown instead.

Having an option to show the address bar and tab bar when hovering at the top of the page while in fullscreen mode like you said Edge does, might be nice.

@IAmHugh As already said, Opera doesn´t allow editing the pre-defined search engines.

You can add one with the parameters you want, but you can´t set it as the default search engine.

Sounds like https://forums.opera.com/topic/89217/disabling-operagx-update-page. I personally don't have the issue though.

You can close Opera and delete the "Sessions" folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default" to see if it helps. You'll lose all open tabs though.

While Opera is closed, you can delete everything in "C:\Windows\temp" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp" to see if it helps.

You can uninstall Opera (don't choose to delete your data when asked), delete the "Opera" install folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs" that remains, clear those 2 temp folders, download the Opera installer in whatever browser you want, launch it, click "options", adjust everything how you want and reinstall. That might fix it. Not sure as I don't have the issue.

It should only display once when Opera starts after an update. It shouldn't be displaying on every launch. If it is, it's likely Opera is not updating correctly. What version does it say you have at the URLs opera://about and opera://version? 133.0.5932.81 is the latest is this very moment.

Now, if you don't want to see it at all, even after an update, see https://www.reddit.com/r/OperaGX/comments/1b24otz/comment/ksql4ix/ for my extension that blocks the page and auto-closes that tab.

@t-bone-tone said in Session restore broken:

Couldn't even find 'site settings' after clicking the site banner left of the address bar, which is what I presume when you say 'badge'.

The badge is usually a lock icon when the site is secure. Here's a pic:

@unterguru Check under Default, since it's usually the profile directory.
