DNA-117115 did not fix the bug with tabs stretching across the entire screen

Quite many "Fix detected dangling ptr..." - it would be nice to know more. Were those caused by same component / same programmer / same situation of sunspot.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. ...

The bug with the options selection link in the German version of the installation window is not fixed. As you can see from the small white bit in the screenshot (top left of the blue box), the options link is hidden behind the blue "Accept and install" box and is not accessible.

I didn't see a fix for this problem. The context menu and Omenu is still too large

Please, just kill Tab Islands
They're a f*ing mess that just causes problems even for those of us who don't use them, want them, care for them.

You tried, you failed, cut your loses and move on to another system.

@rick2: Hi, thanks for your feedback. Can you share some more details regarding problems that in your opinion are caused by tab islands?

@simcard78 Do you have reproduction steps that can help us trace this issue?

For me, on Windows 11, since the developer version update before this one, the password manager does not work anymore: it is empty, and adding new passwords does not work. I can select "save" after login somewhere, but checking back at the password manager shows it still empty, and of course also logging in with saved password hence does not work.

@kmielczarczyk: Same behavior as the previous build. I made a post with 2 images under which you replied to me.
It is enough to have a tab open and try to lock it.

@michaing On Windows 11 here too. I went to google.com, logged in, was asked to save my password, clicked "save" and it shows up at the URL opera://password-manager/passwords no problem. After restarting Opera, it's still there. Choosing to edit the password to reveal it (after entering my Windows user account password) works fine too.

My Opera profile is very fresh though. While Opera is closed, you can delete the "Login Data" file in the profile folder to wipe out all your stored passwords and cause Opera to create a new file if you want. Then test to see if you still have the issue or not.

@burnout426 Thanks, deleting "Login Data" and journal indeed worked. The meta data of old and new file are exactly the same. So this means the format of that file has changed between Opera versions and no migration is done? Would be great to have a way to migrate the old "Login Data", would be absolutely essential at least in stable release, IMO. Could be quite a disaster for many users, it is half one for me.

@michaing Not sure if the format changed a bit or if the key in the "Local State" file that's used to encrypt the "Login data" file changed for some reason. With the latter, it causes Opera to not be able to read and write to the file because it doesn't have the old key to decrypt it.

Sometimes (not always), a change of your Windows user account password can cause that. Sometimes (not always) a Windows update can trigger a change of key. Other times it can be corruption. Other times, it's something with Opera's updater that boogers up things for some users. No clue.

@burnout426 Ah yes that makes sense. Since it clearly broke with 2nd last Opera developer update, that is the culprit, not Windows update or user password change (which did not happen). I hope such is prevented in Opera stable. Using a developer version as production system could be called own fault :).

@simcard78 Ah, very simple to reproduce once I enabled "Enable tab scrolling when many tabs are open" at the URL opera://settings/userInterface.

@burnout426: Thanks a lot. Tab scrolling was a key. We've got it and reported. Our developers will take care of this now. Thanks a lot for your help.
