Keyboard only registering first 2 character inputs in predominantly Google services.

I have the same issue which started in the last week or two. In my case, when I first open Opera and enter in a search in the search field om my speed dial page, the search results only have the first 2 characters of the search terms or phrase that I entered, Opening a new tap and performing the search again works fine.

Opera 99.0.4788.77 though it started at a previous 99.0.4788.x version.

Same here, I type a phrase in and only the first two letters appear. Usually when I use Google search.

I also have the exact same issue. It seems to have started when my PC updated to Opera One

@eugeneb I will type a phrase in Google and hit enter then Google will only search the first two letters.

@jackbluddite No, it is still occurring with me (OP), no responses aside from others experiencing same issue.

Update on the behavior that I am seeing.

I saw this problem running Opera 101 on Windows 10 21H2 build 19044.3086. I upgraded to Opera 102.0.4871.0. All my bookmarks and personalization disappeared so regressed to Opera 101.0.4843.42 and the problem came back, along with my bookmarks.

But I did notice that if I wait 30 seconds with the google search screen stuck at 2 characters the problem goes away. So I would think that this is a timing issue somewhere.

Have a possible solution. It had been a long time since I had cleared my browser history. Once I did that I am unable to recreate the problem.

My experience is that clearing browsing data only gives temporary relief for the various performance issues in Opera.

For this particular problem I added a Google tile to my speed dial. I just click on that to open google.com then do my search from there.

To be honest though, between this issue, the annoying startup sound that can't be turned off, and the slowly growing list of sites that just don't work right with Opera... I'm thinking of just dropping it and switching to something else as my primary browser. A real shame after over 15 years using Opera as my main browser.

I've found a method of stopping the annoying noise and delay in starting, per https://www.askvg.com/tip-disable-or-remove-opera-splash-screen-or-startup-logo/. Their methods didn't work globally, so I actually went into C:program files/opera/(release)/ and renamed the opera_gx_splash.exe file.

I have the same problem and use the same "fix". It annoyed me to the point of trying a couple of other browsers for a while but I still prefer Opera, even with the annoyance(s). I'm hoping they eventually fix it.

Hello @oogla,
I just upgraded from version: 108.0.5067.29 to version 109.0.5097.68 and have not noticed the issue returning. But since the problem originally began I have added the extension "Forget Button" and set it to clear a lot whenever Opera is closed.
