Clicking on any tab scrolls all the way back to the first tab

Dear Opera Tech/Support/Developer Team,
I have the same issue as the OP.- I also have several hundred of tabs opened (categorized by topics) and up until the last 2 Opera updates ago everything was running smoothly and Opera was my default browser for any situation.
- Then 2 updates ago (when they introduced the Tab Island feature if I remember correctly) came the first change: I clicked on any tab from the drop-down list at the horizontal tab-bar (I have several tabs open with G00gle search depending on the topic and if I wanted to go to one of the specific g00gle search tabs I just clicked on that one on the drop-down list and the horizontal tab bar jumped immediately to that active window. Until 2 updates ago.), however since then even if I clicked on one of the google search tabs on the drop-down list it no longer moved the top horizontal tab-bar to the active tab, but it did not move at all and I had to scroll there manually.
- Then came this last update - that was auto-installed yesterday, when I (to some extent accidentally) re-started Opera (I restart my PC very rarely - maybe once every 2 months - if possible).
- The positive thing in this last update is that now if I click on one of the g00gle search tabs from the drop-down list it does jump to that certain active tab again. So hooray for that bug-fix - I am honestly happy about that.
However:
- To my utter dismay now I have the same issue as the OP. Now if I click on any of the tabs in any of the Tab Islands it automatically scrolls back to the very first tab on the horizontal tab-bar.
- For me at least it only happens with tabs in a Tab Island. If I click on any tab outside of a tab island, it works normally: it switches the active tab and the top-horizontal bar is also functioning normally.
- However no matter which tab I click on any of the Island-tabs, the top-horizontal-tab-bar automatically jumps back to the very first tab on the horizontal tab bar.
- I even re-started my opera 3 times since then - yet the issue still remains, nothing seems to help what I (a non-IT-specialist) can do here....
- Please Opera hotfix this issue, cause the way it is now is super annoying...
- Thank you very much in advance.
- I wish I could turn off auto-updates for Opera and somehow downgrade the version and revert it to 2 patches before (without having to open hundreds of tabs manually one by one again of course), because for me up till 2 updates ago Opera was amazing and was by far my favorite and most reliable "go-to" browser.
- Since the last 2 updates however somehow I get one annoying bug each patch and if the next patch fixes the previous annoying bug I get a new one instead (like my current exact case that I have described above).
- Don't misunderstand me, I am aware that improving and upgrading functions is the normal way of things in the IT-industry, however I'd rather stay on a more stable, reliable version a bit longer till all such random bugs are ironed out by the developers and those users who are more "adventurous" and have no problems with using the latest version of Opera - the most up to date version that is currently under development - and as such possibly still with some bugs that need to be fixed in it.
- Still I am crossing my fingers that Opera will somehow manage to fix the issue soon, because otherwise I really enjoyed using Opera for a long long time (up until these last 2 "unfortunate" patches) ...

Yea man, sorry to report I am still having this problem in both opera beta and opera developer. It seems like a simple matter of someone put in some code to move the tab bar to the left edge, but they havent worked on it yet as far as I can tell.
I use ctrl+` to go to the last active tab and sometimes that helps. Also ctrl+shift+tab will show the last couple tabs you had open. Ctrl+pgup and Ctrl+pgdn will move forward and back one tab. But it is extremely annoying. I know I cant be the only one having this issue but no one has fixed it in all these months.

Re: Scroll bar moving always to the lef side when closing tab
@leocg
I have posted a topic on the same problem located here...
https://forums.opera.com/topic/65362/clicking-on-any-tab-scrolls-all-the-way-back-to-the-first-tabIt has been many months now and still no solution to this problem. Is there any update on this? Is there any confirmation that any one is even working on this? Have I posted in the right place on the forum? Am I asking the right people for help? Every time I click on a tab it scrolls all the way back to the first tab for so many months please can someone at least have a look at this bug?

@hmdsrsh thanks! It's work for me.
At first, I thought the solution is not working. But when I bring out the tabs from the existing tab islands then It fixed the problem for me. -

It doesnt seem to be working for me. I disabled tab islands and that didnt work. I have a lot of tab islands open is there a way to move them all out at once? I moved a couple out of the tab island but it still didnt work. And is the speed dial icon blurry for anyone else? The other ones are fine, but the last update that one looks blurry. -

Ahoy!
Ok I used it for a couple hours today after disabling tab islands yesterday. It seems like when I click on the tabs that are not in the tab islands, it works fine. But if I click the older tabs that are in tab islands, it will jump back to the left side.So after disabling tab islands, it will work if I click on a tab that is not in a tab island.

This is just funny and horrible. I've stopped using opera from the august because of this annyoing bug and right now i still see, that with the newest updates it is till present. Doing everything that was said in this topic solves nothing.
For an more than 6 months they cant fix this stupid behaviour?! Really?

@xtard September 23 2024 the bug is still there. It would be nice to have any information from the Dev team, is this issue in the backlog or not?

@maxhoffman I don't think they are gonna fix it man. Whenever I ask they either say close some tabs or just disable it altogether.
