@leocg: Here's a screencast of what I mean. At the beginning of the video, my mouse is not over the thumbnails when Ctrl-Tabbing. Then I move it to the 3rd position and Ctrl-Tab then starts to act all wonky. And when I move the mouse just one pixel, it selects that tab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEOOQBAv3mI

@max1c Thanks for the feedback. What exactly you see when the image/logo is not updated? Are you able to share the screenshot? Thanks.

@staticx Hi! The VPN icon is still in Address Bar. When you enabled Free VPN or VPN Pro in Settings, you don't have the icon that place?

@multiwebinc Ok, if you move the mouse over the tabs thumbnails, the highlighted one will be changed.

@burnout426 Cheers! I use Linux and Opera hasn't been behaving like that for the longest time. Several users have complained about it but nothing has been done which is a pity but very Opera.

Bug(?): First, I find that in a list of search results (google), after a few the links quit responding to mouse clicks and the page needs reloading to pick up again. Very consistent across sessions.
I'll see how AI helps, given its known problems, and how tab islands work. However, I don't find the seemingly smaller and rounded tabs and thumbnails to be helpful at all. And the Address field is seemingly taller than necessary, wasting space.
SD "bug:" The Speed Dial's smiley wastes space, and the question that comes when clicking on it, "Do you like this feature?," is not clear: which feature, the smiley or the SD?
SD 2 "bug": Many of my thumbnails are slow to load and many no longer load the choice that was there in 99 and before, instead showing a small square in the middle. A whole bunch need to be redone.
Print/PP module bug: clicking Escape doesn't close it.
More generally, the Print/PP is still not up to useful standards. Other browsers and email programs that have good modules have an explicit choice for printing 1 page, which saves time. In addition, there should be a Settings facility for Print that 1) allows "More Options" to be open all the time, to save time and help avoid mistakes, and 2) allows the user to set print defaults, rather than the default be set by the last use. -

@joannaczajka: thanks for the info but I already got the update yesterday.
My proposals for changes in Opera (Google Document).
- There are not enough signs to put all the links here. -

@multiwebinc That's a long-standing issue that's been there ever since the horizontal ctrl + tab preview strip was implemented a long time ago. The same issue happened before that when the ctrl + tab preview was a vertical menu. It's never been dealt with. You need to keep the mouse out of the way.
Or, you can use ctrl + pageDown and ctrl + pageUp instead to avoid the preview (or remove ctrl + tab and ctrl + shift + tab from "cycle through forward/backwards through tabs" shortcuts and add ctrl + tab and ctrl + shift + tab to the "switch right/left through tabs" commands.)

@nuiin Thanks for the clarification. I think last time I checked it was working fine with Linux Mint + Cinnamon. What distro and desktop environment are you using? Maybe it was a KDE-only issue? I don't remember.

Yeah, with CSS, Opera has the ability to put the smiley in a blank place above/between sections without shifting other elements. It's just not done that way unfortunately. Maybe they'll fix it.
, and the question that comes when clicking on it, "Do you like this feature?," is not clear: which feature, the smiley or the SD?
You are correct that it's not obvious/intuitive at all. But, by "feature", it means the section the smiley is above. So, if you click the one above the speed dials section, it's asking about the speed dials feature on the start page. If you click the smiley above suggestions, it's asking about the suggestions feature. If Opera adds one above the News section, it'd be for that. If there's one above/beside the weather, it'd be for that.

@burnout426: Yeah, I know it's a long-standing issue. I just hope it gets fixed some day because it's really annoying. Going to the previous/next tab is not what I am looking for though. Being able to switch tabs with most recently used order is one of the main reasons I use Opera.

@leocg: It should only trigger the tab selection if the mouse moves from off the thumbnail to on the thumbnail. If the mouse is already over the thumbnail when the tab cycler appears, it should not be selected, even if the user moves the mouse around over top of the thumbnail without triggering a mouseout event first.
This is how Firefox handles it and it prevents acidentally selecting the wrong tab.
