Is this issue going to be addressed and fixed anytime soon?

I'm able to confirm this on Kubuntu 21.10 with the snap version of Opera. But, I uninstalled that Opera and installed the non-snap version of Opera via the deb file at https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/83.0.4254.62/linux/ with:

sudo apt install opera-stable_83.0.4254.62_amd64.deb

in Konsole.

With that Opera, minimizing via the window's minimize button works as expected. However, the snap version is only 83.0.4254.27. Could just be the new build that fixes things. Haven't checked yet.

Yeah, the non-snap version of 83.0.4254.27. has this bug too. That means there's no difference between the snap and regular version as far as this bug is concerned. And, since the bug is fixed in 83.0.4254.62 at least, when that build is available for the snap version, this bug will be fixed for those that use the snap version.

Yep, confirm, have the same buggy version.
BTW, where did you read that it's fixed in 83.0.4254.62 ?

I can confirm that the bug is fixed in 83.0.4254.62. On my Kubuntu it's finally working as expected.

I didn't. That was just the latest version available, so I downloaded it, installed it and tested to see if it had the bug.

@burnout426 I just installed this on my distro and can confirm minimize behavior now works.
I wish the changelog would load so I could see if this was a known bug fix. Changelog for 83 just doesn't work.

Updated to 83.0.4254.54 (not 83.0.4254.62) from stable opera's deb. repo and Minimize button is working (no bug there) and also I don't see this flickering in taskbar that I saw sometimes when multiple Opera had multiple windows opened (hence multiple icons in taskbar).
All tested on latest stable Kubuntu (KDE).

That's awesome, thank you guys!
