New update - Opera stable 55.0.2994.56 ;-)
The change log, and the announcement.
 
Highlights:
- Fix for Linux crash on full screen startup.
- Improvements for sliding toolbar “Install Chrome Extensions” on the Chrome Web Store.
- Improvements of styling on the Settings page.

"This update modifies also the behavior of strings for settings on the Settings pages, which have an off switch. Previously, turning off a particular setting - for example location access - would change the string from 'Ask before accessing (recommended)' to 'Blocked'.

Now, the settings string will not change after you turn off a particular setting. The 'Ask before accessing (recommended)' string will remain, if you were to turn off location setting. We hope this makes it more clear that the setting is off, and not that something is 'Blocked'."

Opera 55.0.2994.56.
When press Ctrl+T or in menu open new tab - pointer present in address field and i can input text
When press "+" at the end of last tab - opens new tab, but pointer not in address field and i can't input text immediately. I must click on address field to enter text. Is it bug or i must reset settings?

New update - Opera stable 55.0.2994.61 ;-)
The change log, and the announcement.

This build includes fixes for the issues: no focus in the address bar, when opening a new tab, and missing search box on the start page.

I recently posted my dislike for Opera 55.0.2994.56 as it had changed the "settings" page so drastically, I was given a flag setting to change so it would disable this new setup #new-md-settings. Any chance they will be adding a switch to toggle "new or old" preference?

There was also talk about not having the ability to delete individual cookies, I found where to do that but it is very obscure!

I have updated to version 55.0.2994.59 but have used the above mentioned flag to revert back to the "old" settings choices. Also I have turned off "autoupdate".

Most probably the old settings page will be removed when they consider the new one ready.

@leocg said in New Opera stable 55:

@gofer83 There is no bug, it's a legal issue.

Can I somewhere find an explanation of this issue? Would like to know what is the cause.

There are several topics about it on Opera for Linux forum.
Basically a license is required to play some codecs and since Opera doesn't have such license, it depends on the OS to play those codecs.
The problem is that Opera can only use the library (or whatever it's called) compatible with the Chromium version its based on, what may cause problems when the library is updated.

Hi @sharkyca, it will be rather like @leocg says, that it's going to be replaced with the new layout for the Settings page.

Hi @gofer83, you can read here the reply by the Opera's employee Arjan van Leeuwen.
