      Hi, I've also been having this issue on and off for the last few months. Thought it got fixed something like a month ago but now it got to the point where I have to force quit / restart Opera every 2 hours or so becomes closing tabs becomes ridiculously exhausting 😢

      Can't reproduce it consistently, only thing I've noticed is that opening a webapp like Google Hangouts (so memory-heavy I presume) almost always starts the problem, but it's been happening without me opening a Hangouts tab too. Sticky thumbnail also happening systematically when the double-click to close bug happens.

      Pleeeease Opera team look into this soon 🙏

      Version:78.0.4093.184 (x86_64)

        @the-operation said in Click twice to close tabs - sometimes:

        Well this doesn't fix it forever but you can restart opera to fix the double click cmd w thing and the frozen tab problem. I think it's a little bug in Opera's system that they didn't find yet so yeah just restart Opera whenever you need to.

        In my experience 99% of the time it requires a force quit - "just restart Opera" hangs during quit, and actually it can block OS shutdown too if you don't force quit it (when this issue arises).

        Would be nice for someone from Opera to let us know what additional info we could provide to help isolate this bug.

          This annoying thing is still in Opera. I hate when I have to kill Opera via Acitivy monitor.

              Just for this reason I was thinking to switch to another browser. Suuuper annoying. Please hear our voice.

                @kjeldahl I am also having this issue - and it's become QUITE irritating. To the point of wanting to switch to Firefox or Chrome, again.

                This bug manifests two ways:

                • Clicking the little x on each individual browser tab... need to click here twice to close.
                • CMD + W - need to press this keyboard combination twice to close each tab.

                My info:
                Update stream: stable
                Version: 84.0.4316.31 (x86_64)

                  @kjeldahl I have the same problem. Also, when I move one tab to another place, the preview keeps showing, event after closing the tab. I'm really getting done with opera.

                    I also faced the problem but updating to the new version 88.0.4412.53 fixed it for me. 🙂

                        Same here. Opera GX 88.0.4412.75. By me this doesn't only affect X'ing out tabs and using Ctrl+W, but also the Ctrl+T. Painful to operate with tabs.

                          Sadly it's still broken even on 89.0.4447.38 (about to update to 89.0.4447.48 but I'm not holding my breath...)

                              I fixed it by disabling the option "Hold ⌘Q (or press it twice) to quit Opera"

                                @paotrail interesting. How long have you been trouble-free since doing that? The intermittent nature of the bug makes it hard to know for sure if it's cured or just taking a break...

                                I've just disabled the mentioned option and will try to report back with my results.

                                  @paotrail Sadly that hasn't helped here. Still an issue with "Hold ⌘Q" option disabled.

                                  Currently running 91.0.4516.16 (x86_64)

                                            @kjeldahl Yes, I have to leave Opera, it's very very annoying, don't know when it happend, it seems to be a minor problem, but I can not work with this, going to Brave.
