      @leocg: How can a workspace have multiple windows?
      One window can have multiple workspaces.

      I have 10 tabs in one workspace and 5 tabs in a second workspace. If I close the 5 tabs in the second one, the whole window will close and I will lose the 10 tabs in the first workspace.

        @leocg: Previously, space 2 would close and space 1 would open. But it didn't close the whole window.

          Just pay attention on how many upvotes regarding the pointless rounded corners https://forums.opera.com/post/314077
          *and this is without taking into account other duplicated posts with similar requests.

            @dhhd Just check yourself. Open different windows with different tabs in two different workspaces. Then go to any window in the current workspace and click in the other workspace icon to change to it.
            Now see that your tabs and windows have changed.

              @leocg just to be sure we're using the same terms: a workspace in Opera is usually accessed via its icon in the upper part of the sidebar. If I recall correctly, two workspaces are configured in a fresh installation. Opening a new window (e.g. Ctrl+N) will show the same workspaces (two, or however many the user has configured) in the sidebar, but at that point they will only each be populated by the speed dial. Closing any of those speed dial tabs in any workspace of the new window before any other tab has been opened will close the new window,

              Is one of your meanings for workspace equivalent to desktop (i.e. part of the operating system/desktop environment), and outside Opera?

                @leocg: An empty workspace with an express bar was created.

                  The bug is reproduced if two windows are open.
                  If one window is open, everything works correctly.

                  2 windows:

                    @thelittlebrowserthatcould Yes, I'm talking about the workspaces whose icons are in the sidebar.

                    When click on one of the icons you change to that workspace and can access all of its windows and tabs

                        I haven't been here for a while, maybe this was previously discussed, but I have a serious issue with this vertical window "frame" that Opera now has. If my mouse slides to the left and I try to scroll the page, it doesn't scroll because the cursor is on this couple of pixels wide frame. But my eyes do scroll, expecting the page to scroll as well, and I got some very unpleasant and weird vertigo-like feeling. Which is absolutely awful. If the top-bar can pick up mouse commands (click the active tab to scroll to the top), I am sure picking up scrolling when the mouse cursor is on that frame is also possible. This is becoming so annoying and physically unpleasant that I am thinking of switching to another browser, at least until it is fixed with some option like "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximized", or something similar. I'm pretty sure this isn't just me with this issue.

                          @leocg in that case, I'm unsure what you mean by windows, as a window opened from a workspace exists outside that workspace, yet you write about windows within workspaces.

                            @thelittlebrowserthatcould No, a window opened in one workspace exist only in that workspace, it's very easy to see it..

                              Changes I dislike the most:

                              1. Tabs bar became higher now, tabs smaller and close button got out. Why? I prefer to see the X all the time.
                              2. Speed Dial tiles (one of the things I love on opera) had already rounded corners and much better look. The new one is just horrible and has been noted by a lot of people in here.
                              3. Everything on the browser is on top. Bookmarks bar, address bar etc. but you send the side bar tools at the bottom and now I have to move the mouse up and down all the time. Brilliant idea, ha?
                              4. "Start page", one of the most useful button on every browser, is gone. For God's shake. That's insane.
                                As for the rest of the hole bubble design I have nothing more to add on what's already been posted by so many guys in here. Total failure with nothing useful to offer. Please stop ignoring us and bring us back the opera we loved.

                                @dhhd: I tried and it works fine here.
                                Only the last tab was closed and no other in the current workspace or others workspace.

                                  @leocg I'm sorry, but you claiming that it's very easy to see it gets us nowhere.

                                  We open tabs in workspaces.

                                  We open windows from workspaces (and even those who think they don't use workspaces are using the default one).

                                  Usually Opera starts with one window. If another window is opened it is separate, like opening a text editor or other application. And other applications may have a multi-tabbed interface, or open separate windows.

                                      @thelittlebrowserthatcould Let me try to make it easier:

                                      You open Opera for the first time, no previous session.
                                      You are in tab 1 of window 1 of workspace 1.
                                      You open a new tab
                                      You are in tab 2 of window 1 of workspace 1
                                      You open a new window
                                      You are in tab 1 of window 2 of workspace 1
                                      You click on the other workspace icon in sidebar
                                      You are in tab 1 of window 1 of workspace 2
                                      If you close that tab, you go back to tab 1 of window 2 in workspace 1.

                                            This ridiculously big spacing everywhere around icons and stuff is breaking the browsing experience on smaller screens/resolutions. It eats up precious screen space so there is even less vertical space for actual page content. It's not that big deal on QHD monitors but on 14" FHD screen with 150% increased scaling, it has a massive impact as every pixel matters.

                                            I love to see tab grouping coming back but I'd prefer to see the whole page name instead of only a colored bar when it's collapsed and inactive. I currently have two tab islands collapsed with very similar colors (red and is maybe orange) and I already forgot what's inside them. So color alone is not that great when I later need to find specific website.

                                            Also as I'm using Windows 10, this new UI looks completely out of place. We deserve more options for the UI: first named "Default" (which is this current version) and second "Give the old back" (as the name implies, the old look).
