1. There's a new strange blank space (with a feedback smiley) on Speed Dial before icons, making all speed-dial items align to the bottom of the page. This change in speed-dial also reduced performance on window resizing. Is it related to this: "DNA-106699 [Win] Enable use of Opera GX splash screen in Opera generic"?
2. Dark theme, popup that shows login selection is again using wrong colors.
3. Again a new release using outdated Chromium, two actively exploited security updates behind.

@ricardob Regarding 1, probably not.

Regarding 3, check the changelog.

Was about to answer about unpatched things, but who cares? Opera nowadays is all about breaking UI and bloating the browser with things like "AI", wallpapers and paying hollywood guys for marketing purposes.

The speeddial colors are bugged. It's showing some strange ugly colors on the speeddial but in the bookmarks colors still look correct.

@ricardob: thats so true. who wants a static feedback smiley on the speed-dial? its crazy how you have to fear, that the next update of opera doesnt fuck up things even more. useless updates, useless functions, instead of making the really important things just right. i loved this browser, now its a mess.

@ricardob: Couldn't have said it any better. I don't even bother mentioning these things anymore. The UI has been broken when you have 2 monitors for months now. Opera button is randomly disappearing, the profile avatar is disappearing, moving tabs between windows is buggy. The list just never ends.

@leocg Well, it doesn't for me anymore. I can see the click, but nothing changes.
Downgrading back to Opera 97 makes it work again.

Clicking on three dots on a tile in the Express Panel does not lead to any actions, the context menu does not appear

@thelittlebrowserthatcould I'm on Windows, maybe it's a Linux only issue?

@leocg I'm on windows also, and it doesn't work. It only worked in private window.
Disabling all addons didn't change anything either.
