      Hi!

      New user here :x

      It is a very silly issue but I come from Chrome where I got some habits, including pushing quickly my mouse max to the top and middle click to close the tab.

      If I do this in Opera, it won't work, because doesn't seem to understand my mouse is on a tab if I don't mouseover the name of the tab. Here, I tried to middle click on the top, and then to lower a bit my mouse:

      Is it normal? I've tried to find related issues about this but was not able to find them on the forums (but using the wording "middle click close tab" is probably not helping :D). Are some people having the same issue? How did you fix it?

      It's a tiny and stupid issue but as I do this very often during the day, it's pretty annoying :x

      Thank you!

        In "Menu -> Settings -> Browser" with "show advanced settings" checked, do you have "disable tab bar's top spacing" checked or unchecked?
