Can't middle click on tab bar to open a new tab

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?

@whatthafrank said in Can't middle click on tab bar to open a new tab:

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

So, i figured out how to solve this

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

Once you've got 8-10 tabs open, you run out of empty space. Same issue with Opera One.
I'd love to switch back to either Opera GX or Opera One, but this is a dealbreaker, I've used this feature since Opera 9 during the days it used the Presto Engine instead of Chromium.
