      @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.

                                    @redsparrow78 I went to Brave as well, currently I am using Firefox. It is an eternal hunt for the best browser 🙂

                                      @kjeldahl unfortunately, I've gotten so used to Opera, especially UI and left toolbar. No other browser has it. But this bug is so serious, that I cannot work. It started with some actualization, don't know when. So I must leave. I'm mac user and it's difficult to find good browser with good UI and functions. Good luck too 🙂

                                        Opera version: 106.0.4998.52 MBP M1 14.2.1
                                        Same problem here for many months and updates.
                                        I usually occurs after having downloaded a file.
                                        Right click does not work anymore, have to click twice to close a tab and quitting Opera only possible with a Force Quit.
                                        The only way to solve this is to restart Opera (sometimes multiple times a day...).
                                        Very very annoying!

                                          You won't want to hear it, but I solved this problem another way (for exactly that reason): switched to Vivaldi

                                          It's obviously off-topic for this forum, but frankly if the Opera developers don't care to investigate and fix the bug, I have limited patience to continue using their browser over the multitude of others!

                                            @damienuk I'm in the proces of moving to FF.
                                            With the Workspaces extension it seems to work fine.
