KDE Plasma (Kwin etc... replicable on totally vanilla install)
Window always fails to minimize. When the minimize button is pressed it flickers away for a frame. If more than one window is open (of opera) it flickers between them.Suspected I did something at first but was able to reproduce on a clean install of Arch + plasma
opera 82.0.4227.23-1
from pacman
as well as all the other builds off the aur -

@silicon0014 Temporary fix is setting "Focus stealing prevention" to at least "High" in KDE settings > Window management > Window behavior (focus tab)

The same happens on the debian side.
Linux Mint MATE, Linux Mint KDE and Debian 11 MATE
installed it from the newest: opera-stable_82.0.4227.23_amd64.deb -file, and updated it.Unable to minimize from the minimize button in the top right corner of opera, but pressing Opera in the panel of the DE does minimize/maximize it.
Wow. in KDE your fix worked! Thanks. How about Mate and lxqt? how to fix it in those?
Another problem is that opera window doesnt have any border around it. Any ideas how to make it respect window manager settings?
PS. I already reported the minimize bug -

@computercollector Not sure how to fix it on other desktops. Hopefully they fix this on their end because there are side effects to high focus stealing prevention (e.g. new apps not starting on top). It's not the worse for me to find them as I use rofi and it color codes those apps in the dmenu like menu so I can find them quickly.
Hope they patch it soon. -

Looks like they patched this in the opera developer version I hope it rolls out quickly.

As a hotfix when you get caught in a loop I recommend to rightclick app bar on one of the affected Opera windows and select More actions -> Move. It should stop the cycling focus.

Okay, until this gets fixed, the only workaround I've found out for KDE users is going to the KDE System Settings > Window Management > Window Rules and create a rule for Opera forcing to enable the KDE tiltebar.
(Switch to Yes from what you see on this picture)The KDE titlebar works fine, but as a con you'll get a second titlebar up the native Opera one, as seen here:
The images are from a 2018 post about the titlebar, but the workaround still works on newer versions.
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=153878I know it's ugly to have the titlebar enabled, but at least it works, until it gets really fixed.

Locutus last edited byI am running Manjaro KDE 21.2.1 with Opera 82.0.4227.43 and I just clicked on the minimize button on the tabbar and it minimized and instantly maximized again without me touching the maximize button or clicking on Opera's icon in my Plasma panel. I had Vivaldi open for something else and decided to test it and when I clicked minimize it minimized to the panel and stayed there. I then went back to Opera and opened a private window to test with that and the private window itself not the OS or desktop started flickering. I ended up having to right it's panel icon to close the private window. I'm going to do a reboot to see if that might solve the issue, but if anyone has any thoughts on what might be going on I really appreciate the feedback and help. Thanks

OK while waiting for this thread to be approved I installed the beta to see one by one if it was my settings or an extensions. Before adding or changing anything I attempted to minimize it and it has the same behavior of auto remaximizing as soon is it's minimized. So this is a browser specific issue.
