Destination marker when reordering(dragging) bookmarks in bookmarks bar folders is still not visible in dark mode. https://forums.opera.com/post/218122
Also, tooltips are still light for the bookmarks bar dropdowns in dark theme .

@simcard I don't think it's something Opera can fix.

@leocg: I use Cloudflare as main DNS server and on the others browser works perfectly.

@andrew84: After some hours testing here, I found that this problem only happens when we have speed dial folders. If you delete any speed dial folder and restart the browser, modern babe works fine.

@kened You're right. Thanks, Now I'm able to see the filled pane.

Some suggestions regarding the enhanced address bar.
1 Add quick action buttons.
2 Instead of dedicated Go to' links use 'arrow in square' icon which appears when hovering the sections (like it works in the sidebar setup panel)
3 Instead of 'Settings' link simply use a 'gear' icon.
*For more compact and clear view

4 I don't know how useful/handy these sections are ('recently closed', 'last added bookmarks' and other), I'd like to suggest to add few more, 'recent documents' and 'recent search queries' for example.
5 The pane must be fully configurable in Settings. Sections (Top sites, quick buttons, recent bookmarks/closed and other) should be selectable (checkboxes) in the pane's settings, like it worked for Quick Access in the past (separate section in the browser Settings, the 'gear' icon must lead directly to the pane's settings section)

Edit: or settings can be in already existing 3 dots menu

@simcard As a DOH server? It's mot the same thing as the regular DNS server.

Now it's time for the enhanced bar bugs (additionally to the main bug where the pane is empty if there are folders on speed dial page)

• if the page size is set greater than 100% in browser settings, the pane is not scaled well.
  
• 3 dots menu doesn't work again
  
• tiles do react on the bottom's cursor too early (especially if smaller tiles view is selected)

@leocg: Sure but Cloudflare is the first choice suggested by Opera between DOH servers. (I think there's a sort of partnership). Opera should resolve this issue in conjunction with Cloudflare.

@simcard I guess it's the first because of alphabetical order.

And I guess that the only thing Opera could do is to allow setting a second DOH server for when the main one fails.

@loggsar Use the Tabs icon on sidebar or type opera://activity in address bar.

@leocg: There are 3 Cloudflare servers and a Google one. I will try to switch one by one.

I haven't been here for some time now, so, is the recently closed tabs list gone for good? Flag #search-in-open-tabs is no more in flags, and with new #search-in-closed-tabs I can't get the old button back. If this is the case it is very, very wrong. Old functionality was already there, why don't we have an option to use that instead of search, there is no need to discard it completely (and recently closed list is much more preferred here on blogs comments if I may notice).

This is Opera's uservoice here, and devs should listen, not ignore the feedback, or worse, doing exactly the opposite of what users said about this "feature"...

Anyway, why not give us both with, lets say, right click on that button give us recently closed tabs and left click opens search box? It shouldn't be that hard to do that and everyone's happy.
