      Since yesterday I have version 56.0.3045.0, and I'm on Windows 8. When I open a new tab there is no focus. It used to be that the address bar had the focus so it is in my brain to type Ctrl+n, type a URL and hit enter. Now when I hit enter nothing happens because the URL hasn't gone anywhere and a blank tab is staring back at me!

      This occurs if I click the plus to the right of the tabs as well. It happens with normal and incognito windows.

      If I open a new tab then do a tab, shift-tab or shift-tab, tab then the focus is in the address bar, so the focus hasn't gone somewhere else, it's just been lost.

      Hopefully this is an odd bug that can be fixed quickly because it feels like I've done this 100 times already 😖

              Still this does not work, updated to the latest and every time I open new it does not focus but I have to click in search bar in order to write my query which is quite annoying 😞

                Are you talking about Opera 56? The problem was already fixed in Opera 56?

                    55 is not "Future releases".
