DNA-97159 Implement snapshot from text selection
DNA-97160 Add feature flag for snapshot from text selection

Great is that you improving old features

But it'd be better if you'd more actions related to text selection and hide it inside some advanced menu (3 dots for example)
There can be 'snapshot', 'send text to myFlow', 'search with' > [search engines choice popup], 'send text to pinboard' > [pinboards choice from the pinboards list popup]

*btw, there's still no direct access to view the list of existing pinboards in context menu when selecting text or picture to send.

it works in Edge this way

@leocg: Yes, I tried all and its not working. All other chromium browsers are working but Opera is not. This is annoying and continuing problem

@leocg what issues exactly?

here I noticed only already highlighted 'change image' when editing pinboard card and some issues in 'New pinboard' button click animations, also dark/light theme random tiles. *But I don't use pinboards at all, just checking from time to time.

@andrew84 Creating new pinboards doesn't work here. If I click on new pinboard, nothing happens.

@predrag83yu If you have the right libffmpeg.so, and things still don't work, you can goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, and restart Opera to test if it's a hardware acceleration issue. You can also goto the URL opera://gpu to see what's accelerated and what isn't.

If you have hardware acceleration on, but it still shows software for everything at opera://gpu, you can mess with some flags and command-line arguments to see if you can get hardware acceleration working to see if it also helps with video and audio support.

"DNA-97034 Implement calculator"

Built-in calculator in Opera? How to find it? I can't see him anywhere.

I don't have snapshot after text selection. I have only "search" and "copy".

@jojo0587 said in Opera 84.0.4302.0 developer update:

Did you enable the opera:flags#text-selection-snap flag and restart your browser?

@jojo0587 Thanks for checking. I'll try to find what is happening here.

If comparing 84 vs 83, tiles text on speed dial looks more clear in 83. Wallpaper plays a role here too but I tried the same wallpaper. Also [+Add a site] looks blurry

@burnout426: Thank you for help. Now it's working. But this is not solution. Normal person will not try all that. This must be fixed by Opera side. If other Chromium browsers are working out of box and Opera should be also. That is too much work for... anybody. If I where normal person I would switch browser because Opera is not working and that would be closed case.

@jojo0587 I hope it will be something special and not just a simple calculator.
*Btw, Edge also implemented recently something called 'Math Solver' where you can get the result by selecting text or by manually typing.
Sounds pretty useless for me if in Opera it will be built in search popup in similar manner.

@jojo0587 Enable opera://flags/#address-bar-dropdown-categories and type some (basic) math string in address bar.
Something like X+Y for example.
