Windows 10 [latest update]
Opera GX LVL 4 (core: 96.0.4693.104)

The problem is quite simple. Before the update, I could open and close tabs with my scroll wheel (to close it, need to click the wheel on the tab; to open a new one - click on a free space [screenshot]).

It was so convenient and easy that now I just bing sadge
Idk if that really was a feature and now is deleted, but I lost it and want to get it back

@leocg Thank you for this temporal fix, though based on time it takes them to fix it it's not so temporal, I guess, haha. Anyway I can't see any disadvantages for using it so thanks again.

It's still quite annoying the fact I cannot middle click to add a tab when there is no space on the tab bar

On my previous computers when using Opera GX I used to open new tabs using the mouse wheel button in an empty space of the tabs but since I installed it on a new computer it doesn't allow me to do this anymore, is there a way to enable it again?

Here's some useful steps that helped me get this feauture back:

1. Open: opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip in a new tab;
2. Go to where it says "Scrollable tab strip";
3. On the drop down menu to the right of it, click "enabled";
4. Hit the "reload button on the bottom right or if it doesn't show itself, RESTART your computer;
5. Fire up OperaGX, try it out and see if it works.

Enjoy your feature again like before!

Hey all
I've been using Opera GX for quite a while now and I've gotten really used to clicking my mousewheel on the tab-bar to open new tabs.
Now since the last update, this feature doesn't work anymore for me. Is there a reason for that? Can I fix it somehow, because I didn't find anything in the settings regarding it being able to be switched on or off?

Thanks in advance

i have found that i cannot open new tabs with my mouse wheel.
I used to be able to click my mouse wheel next to an open tab and a new tab would open. This is no longer possible.
Is this the same for you? or have I just changed something in the settings and am too stupid to reset it?
I hope you can help me

1. type in your url this opera://flags
2. then you type on the search bar for Scrollable tab strip and enable it
3. be happy again
