@elljay23 I don't think it's possible to disable it at the moment.

@elljay23 On opera://flags/ try disable "Capture snapshot of text selection via popup".

@elljay23 Just don't forget that the flag will probably be gone in a couple of months.

• Open Opera GX settings.
• In the "Search settings" box on the top right, type: "Enable the search pop-up when selecting text".
• Enable the setting that pops up.

@theshinyscouter Thanks for the info - that option disables the popup completely. Since I posted the question Opera has changed the pop up so it's always "Search | Copy | Snapshot" no matter how many words, so the "Copy" appears in the same place again every time. Thanks anyway!

@elljay23 yes, I reported the same.
3 words selection looks more or less logical at least, but not the every time appearing 'snapshot'.
The best solution would be the optional 'snapshot' feature.
