Opera crashing on New Macbook

[rulerofthenight]

I recently upgraded my macbook with a new 2016 model with touchbar.
I'm unable to use Opera because everytime i need to open an external file (attachment to gmail, we transfer and so on) The browser crashes.
the first time i open a file browser in a session it works like a charm, but the second time the browser crashes.
the issue does not show itself in safari or chrome.
With my older macbook pro I never had this problem.
Obviously i did a clean install of Opera and I also tried opera beta but the problem is still there.

i'm on osx 10.12.2 with a 15 inch late 2016 macbook pro with touchbar

Confirmed. We will investigate and hopefully fix it soon.

Posted something irrelevant, now edited away :). Thanks for the report @rulerofthenight, and for identifying how to reproduce it as well (it's the touch bar).

Great.
Hope this will be an opportunity to integrate new touchbar functions into opera!

I have the same problem (with Yosemite on 3 different and differently configured Macs). Is there a way back to opera 41?

Hi @welsbach, if you're on Yosemite then you definitely don't have the same problem, the problem seen here earlier is strictly related to the Touch Bar. If you want help with your issue, you have to describe in a bit more detail when it happens.

Others: a fix for the Touch Bar issue will be released very shortly in stable. You can beta-test it in our Developer stream: http://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/2017/01/opera-44-developer-initial-release/.

There is nothing to describe: When a popup opens, sometimes Opera crashes. Not always, but after some popups it’s sure. This is a new issue since opera 42. So I’s like to return to opera 41. How can I do this?

Hi @welsbach, your problem has been reproduced and occurs to users on both 10.9 and 10.10 when opening web popups. It's known internally as DNA-58684 and has been fixed. The next update to Opera's stable release will include the fix.

And to the OP and others seeing the Touch Bar problem with open file / save file dialogs: this problem has also been fixed and will be in the next update.

Thanks all of you for your help in identifying these problems!

OK. Thanks. But for the future: How can I prevent opera from downloading and installing updates. When it works without crashes in the next release I’d prefer to stay with it.

A stable version of Opera with the fix for both issues mentioned here has been released earlier today. You should get the update automatically (check opera://about), or if you want to force it you can always reinstall opera from www.opera.com, which will give you the newest version.

You can read more about it here: https://www.opera.com/blogs/desktop/2017/01/opera-stable-42-0-2393-137-update/

@welsbach you can disable updates by setting a default setting, like this from the terminal:

defaults write com.operasoftware.Opera OPDisableAutoUpdate true

I’m sorry. The bug is not fixed. It’s exactly the same problem. No change.

Once more the question: How can I downgrade to Opera 41?

@weisbach you can download old versions from here: ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/41.0.2353.69/mac/ .

Opera is crashing regularly on my 2016 MacBook Pro (Touch Bar). I am using the VPN option to browse in Opera. The problem had been occurring sporadically since I started using Opera about a week ago. Today I noticed a definite pattern: I upload an audio file to Google Drive. The first upload works well. When I open the New menu (or right-click for new menu) and select upload file, the browser immediately crashes.

Welcome to Opera forums @Recorder2407!

Can you test without VPN enabled?

HI, @zalex108!

Tested with VPN disabled. Opera still crashed when I tried to upload the same audio file to Drive.

Tested with VPN disabled. Opera still crashed when I tried to upload the same audio file to Drive.

Update: I have also noticed that Opera is crashing with and without VPN while I try to attach files to emails in my gmail account.

Hi, I have the same issue since January on my MBP 2016 (touchbar), and no reinstalling/cleaning profil process managed to fix it.

However, I recently managed to observe that this problem occurs only when I’m using Opera in apple’s fullscreen mode, hope this may help
