option's text looks too small/not clear in the Print dialog and it's hard to read.

@leocg Opera is the only major browser, except possibly Chrome (which I don't have) that doesn't include Print at the first level of its drop down. I don't believe it has anything to do with the logic of under which category Print could fit. As a long time Opera user, going on 15 years, it's only reasonable to conclude that it's not there because Opera mgt or developers don't think it very important. That's just as during the time before the current version of Print, including Presta, when Opera didn't include print scaling by preview, although it's essential to printing on the web and was included in the other major browsers from early on. I had to switch browsers most every time I wanted to print. Behavior over time speaks for itself.
But putting the past aside, the Print module could be vastly improved by...
- showing everything by default (or allowing that as a user choice)
- resetting to the user default at least between sessions
- making the text larger
- making Pages two choices at the top level, i.e., All/empty field for page numbers, instead of requiring use of a drop-down; doing that would make it easier to use and help avoid easy-to-make mistakes
- having less empty space overall

This version of Opera is overriding Internet Download Manager with some downloads via a multi-host site. I'm now having to use the context menu to force the IDM download. Was fine with O63. Is there a setting somewhere that might be at issue?

Omg I just found out I can comment on the blog with my forum account! So here it goes.
Opera v64, on debian testing x64, with plain openbox, nvidia legacy 340 as the gpu driver and hardware acceleration disabled in opera.
After the upgrade, all the icons on my speed dial have changed colors to some weird ones, as seen below
https://imgur.com/a/uKAAi0bThe top image is how the icons used to be, th bottom one is how ugly they look now. Enabling hardware acceleration fixes the issue, but i'd rather keep it disabled.

Why Quick Access is removed in 65?

@andrew84: I don't think this function is necessary anymore. With the chrome://flags/#reborn-3-dropdown flag enabled, it's more convenient.

What do you mean? Quick Access had sd/suggestions tiles, copy, paste and etc. buttons.
Reborn3 dropdown is just a dropdown like the regular one but restyled. Additionally the text in reborn3's address bar looks too thin/small and it's hard to read for me. -

I didn't use much of the quick access feature, but I did appreciate the convenience of the "Redesigned suggestions" feature.

@johnd78: Quick Access is an optional feature, those who don't like it can easily switch it off in Settings. And it is visible only if you don't type in address bar, after you start to type it shows the regular suggestions dropdown.
And old suggestions dropdown offered a choice of search engines( icons at bottom)

@andrew84 I suppose this function could be useful, but the developers decided otherwise.

I'm really tired of their decisions. Next decision will be to kill the search or video popup?
I'm still on 58. I hoped that O65 will meet my expectations but no, there's again a genius decision to remove the feature instead of fixing/making it compatible with the new design or offering something better.
