Yep, same issue as all of you. Enabling hardware acceleration doesn't work, I guess I'm gonna install a previous version

Just for the kicks, stable version 71.0.3770.198 doesn't solve the situation, still having all popup menus hidden to the naked eye, but the mouse can click on them and trigger actions.

Thanks, David. Downgrading is really the only choice for most users. Personally, I've never seen a browser release that literally kills the main functionality of itself before.
And then updates follow that do not fix the issue.
It is really bizarre. It isn't some minor issue like not being able to access history or maybe a new tab not closing or something.
It's the main Opera menu and right click context menu functionality that is trashed and Opera can't seem to find a resolution for it. It has nothing to do with Chrome because, as we all know, Chrome isn't Opera.
I don't know. Maybe the developers of Opera have just encountered an issue that they aren't educated or intelligent enough to fix. It could happen, you know. If no one working on Opera is smart enough to fix something, who is going to do it?
The problem may never be corrected, which would be sad.

@pyromantiker Even with this bug, things are much better in Opera than they are in firefox. Honestly, if you were really going to switch, then you'd switch. And if you were looking for a reason to not switch, then you found one. I doubt that this specific issue is the reason you'd not make the switch. It will get fixed in a matter of days, not a year. I'm sure you weren't trying to troll, but your comment reads that way.
Hang on a second; let me make sure I understand this. You just called a poster a troll that said he would wait before using Opera after reading post after post after post after post about how Opera doesn't work properly.
People are complaining and looking for solutions in every other thread. Opera doesn't work any longer. And here you are calling someone who thinks he will wait until things are worked out before switching to Opera a troll?
If anyone is trolling, it is you. What you said to this poster doesn't make sense. Why would someone willingly install a browser that doesn't work? That would be idiotic.

Thanks, VR51. It's odd. The labels on the Speed Dial categories and the text on the Speed Dial entries are very large and all merge into one another. This issue was never an issue before upgrading to 71, just like the other problems.
I thought maybe it was the same for everyone. Thanks for responding with the information you provided.

Heads up.
I thought (foolishly) that I would give Opera Beta a try only to find no access to any menu at all. No settings etc. Any attempt to uninstall/remove has resulted in failure and the following message:Detailed errors from the package manager follow:
snapd operation finished with error cannot perform the following tasks:
- Save data of snap "opera-beta" in automatic snapshot set #6 (cannot create archive: tar: 79/.config/opera-beta/oauc_pipe: socket ignored (and 31 more))

Update:
dpkg --list
shows no sign of opera-beta or opera to uninstall through the command line -

Snaps are self contained packages. There is nothing installed when you use a snap.
Try to install from the repo. Add this line to your sources
deb https://deb.opera.com/opera-beta/ stable non-freeSee here for Snapcraft (Snaps): https://snapcraft.io/opera-beta
See here for .deb packages https://www.opera.com/computer
See here for Opera Beta .deb packages https://www.opera.com/computer/beta
Click the big blue download button, not the snap/rpm links.

Hello dear community,
I am using Opera with the current 71.0.3770.198 version. But since about 2 or 3 update I got these problems:
- Right-Clicking does not work, when I click with my right mouse button no menu appears. And opera kinda freezes, freez is gone when I switch tab or switch window with alt+tab
- The Opera-Menu doesn't open when I click on it
- when you have to many bookmarks there is a >> symbol on the right, which normaly shows the remaining bookmarks. Clicking on it doesn't work either
- when I am on the bookmarks page I can't use the button in the left bottom corner to backup the bookmarks
Are there others with the same problem?
Maybe some developer could look into this, for a fix in future updates.
Rest is running very good, well except the problem with libffmpeg.so (https://forums.opera.com/topic/30254/solved-video-playback-issues/7) but that is another story
Oh, and I use Fedora 32, if that info would be relevant.
Kind regards

Hoi,

I have been noticing that, the click-tab-to-go-to-page-top funcion is apparently being overwritten by the go-to-page-top button you can find in some sites. The only pages the function won't work are those that have this button. It really bothers me as these pages are mainly forums in which I constantly go up and down and I'm too much accustomed to this function. This isn't as much an attrocity as the problem with the menus, but they should correct it.

Try enabling "hardward acceleration" in the settings menu. I had the same issue and this fixed it for me. (CentOS7; Opera71)
I found this issue and solution above (posted by KetoKelo)

@brotherj4mes Yep, enabling hardware acceleration helps, but this is a temporary fix.
Still thank you for your reply. -

@ctrlaltdel Not everyone experiences these issues and not everyone has problems with it. Most people would just go ahead and try it themselves for a day/week before deciding it. Its a free piece of software that you can easily install/uninstall along side any other browser. So yes, it (still) reads to me like the OP was looking for a reason to not try it. That is the troll part. Why bother posting that comment at all?

The browser is broken; the only people not having issues with it are the people that likely already had hardware acceleration activated.
The poster you called a troll, for no reason, was merely stating that he was glad that he came and checked things out here before installing.
He wasn't promoting another browser, he wasn't insulting a specific operating system in favor of another operating system and he wasn't ridiculing Opera users.
He merely stated that he was happy that he didn't go ahead and install a broken browser before checking out the comments here. That is what this board is for, to help people.
He was helped by visiting here. No one is enough of a fanboy of any software, I don't think, to call someone a troll for refusing to use a product that is not currently working correctly.
Free or proprietary doesn't really matter for what is being discussed. Of course anyone can uninstall or not use any piece of software that they don't like. But, if anyone was trolling, it was you be being reactionary and feeling as if you had to be the defender of Opera's integrity.

I had the same problem. Everything worked fine until I updated Opera to 71.0.3770.148. I went back to version 70.0.3728.154 where this problem does not occur. My system is MX Linux (MX 19.2_x64 patito feo).
