Auto islands shouldn't be created when coming from the opera://activity page

@sarasc said in Tab Islands tips and tricks (Creation, Handpick Islands, Expand/Collapse, Shortcuts..):

To create an auto island, you have several options:

Right-click on links and select "open in new tab"
Use the keyboard/mouse combination on links: Control + Left click
Click on links using middle mouse button

If using Opera Sync and syncing tabs, when you goto the URL opera://activity, select a session for another device, and "right-click -> open link in new tab" on each of the tab links, this automatically creates an island and puts all of the tabs in that island. That's not something I'd expect. Maybe auto islands shouldn't be created when coming from the opera://activity page like they're not created when coming from the opera://bookmarks page.

There's also the question of right-clicking on all the "learn more" links in opera://settings and opening them in new tabs.. A tab island is automatically created for them and they're grouped together in that island. For this particular case of opera://settings, it doesn't matter to me either way, but the behavior should be reviewed to determine whether it's expected or not.

@burnout426 Thanks for noticing. In deed opening tabs from the session of another device is not entirely a context group - island, that you want to create with "opera://activity" tab.
