I have this issue too. I tried a lot of settings, but nothing changed. I have disabled all extensions, but nothing changed. I wrote to the bug report, but nothing happend.
Under such circumstances I would change the browser. But unfortunately I have so much login data and form data saved in Opera and all the histories. To rebuild that in another browser costs me hours. And I use the VPN a lot.
The hope, the other day the problem will be fixed, lets me stay with Opera, at this point. But that's driving me crazy, since I use the browser the whole day for business applications. -

Currently this bug is not fixed in Opera 79.0.4143.22 Stable, Opera 79.0.4143.19 Beta, Opera 81.0.4175.0 developer. Opera 77.0.4054.90 Stable is the latest version, which does not have this problem.
I have seen complaints about this problem in Opera not only on this forum, but also on other sources on the Internet. -

I have downgraded to Opera 77.0.4054.90 https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/77.0.4054.90/win/
I have downgraded to this version. But you have to disable the automatic download/update. This worked for me https://forums.opera.com/topic/36333/solved-how-to-turn-off-auto-update

Colleagues, the developers in the blog ask for a way to reproduce this bug and specify your system. Please write there too.

Thanks. I just updated to v. 79.0.4143.22. So far I haven't been able to make the problem happen. Of course, the update caused Opera to restart. I'll try again after it's been running for awhile, and if the problem occurs I'll post it on the blog.

My Opera did yesterday an Update accidentally. It only lasted 2 minutes and I had bug again. I immediately switched back.

I can confirm that some time after a program restart, the problem occurs again. I will post on the blog.

Did that, but of course there's a lot of traffic on a lot of problems there. Hopefully it gets flagged and put on the list.

Version 80.0.4170.16
64 Bit Windows 7If I switch my desktop theme to Aero (which is needed to keep videos from tearing (true idiocy on Microsoft's part, BTW), then the problem manifests.
Switching back does not fix it. Only thing that does fix it is exceptionally stupid. I have to shut down and restart Opera.
There. You guys have what you need to replicate the bug.

My suggestion is to simply get rid of the combined address/search bar. We already have a perfectly good search bar right next to the address bar, that works as intended. There is no reason to combine the two functions.

@ravenplume That's not the cause of the problem, so get rid of it probably won't help

To get rid of something, which is a feature, may be a workaround, but no solution. BTW: I dont have a combined bar, but the problem. I also dont have an AERO theme, but have the problem. I am already testing other browser like Vivaldi and Brave.

Let's count. Chromium and Opera has 4-week release cycle now. Opera 81 Developer will be in beta very soon, possibly next week. Plus 4 weeks per cycle.
Perhaps Opera 81 will become Stable in 5 weeks, maybe a little longer.
But the developers can fix the bug for the 80th version earlier.
For now you can check if this bug is fixed in the Developer version yourself using Opera developer (Portable version).Better check, because this bug was reproduced for me only after changing the theme in Win 7, but it did not appear if this was not done. Perhaps these are 2 different bugs with similar symptoms.
I have no longer a bug with the address bar in Opera 81 Developer. Win 7x64. -
