Creating an Island manually is to complicated for me

@sarasc said in Tab Islands tips and tricks (Creation, Handpick Islands, Expand/Collapse, Shortcuts..):
To create a manual island, follow these steps:
Select multiple tabs on the tab strip by pressing Control+Left click.
These selected tabs will look brighter than the others.
Right-click on the selected tabs and choose 'Create Island'Sorry, but no, no and no. Sometimes I truly don't understand you. Why would you make it so complicated? Just to remind you, 13 years (!!!) ago you introduced Tab Stacking. The simplest way to merge tabs together. Drag & Drop. And now? "Hold this key, click on all tabs, then right click and select ...."
Listen to us. I've been using Opera for over 20 years. Don't complicate things unnecessarily. It's awful. Change it ASAP.

@ghirahim Hi!
A tab island is created itself - effortlessly. Yes, you need to browse in a pattern when you, for example, scan a news page and open a couple of articles in new tabs to read one by one, or you search in Google and you open several results in new tabs. We learnt from our research that this is a very popular behaviour amongst users.
Drag and drop to create an island it's a smooth way to create such a new group of tabs - we're working on it.

@ghirahim Ok. The "tab Island" doesn't work, nor does the "stacking". Edge can do this, why not Opera...or Firefox for that matter!

@leocg I've followed the instructions (ctl + left click) over a test of 3 tabs to "tab island," but they don't connect to each other. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this.

I've no idea. Where is that option? I didn't even see that listed anywhere. -

I have example.com, arstechnica.com, and hardforum.com tabs on the tab bar. example.com is focused. So, I ctrl + left-click arstechnica.com to select it too and repeat for hardforum.com. There are then 3 tabs selected. Then, I right-click on any of those selected tabs and choose "create tab island". That works fine for me and an island is created where those 3 tabs are moved into it.
At the URL
opera://settings/userInterface, I have "Automatically create tab islands" enabled. If I goto https://forums.opera.com/category/11/opera-for-windows, right-click a link for a thread and choose "open in new tab", an island is automatically created where the current tab and that new tab are moved into it. If I open another thread link in a new tab, that one is added to the existing island.So, all is working fine here for what it's worth.

Thank you. I looked, searched but found nothing in settings for Tab Islands. I still cannot do this task. I've reported this as a bug. I'm running on the latest Opera update, so I don't know what I've done to miss this part.

@leocg I checked this morning. Not listed. I've reported this issue to Opera as a bug. Running the latest update of Opera, I don't know what else I can do...other than uninstalling/reinstalling Opera
Thanks for your help.
I tried to find what build, but Opera doesn't make it easy to find out or impossible to search for it. I'm on Windows 11. Dell Laptop.

@leocg I went to About and this is the uptodate version: Version:99.0.4788.31.
Seems I'm outdated, yet Opera says I'm up to date.

I don't know who I should be angry/upset with the most - myself or Opera for not relegating all the forum issues about a Developer version on a full Opera forum. Maybe that's why no one at Opera has responded to my issue - other than you and another moderator. I appreciate both your assistance and bringing me sanity and sedateness again!

@teceerbe Okay, I'm now able to create the tab islands. However, when I started up my laptop this morning, they're gone. Are islands only temporary, just for that particular session? Thanks.
