      I'm currently using Opera 107.0.5045.21 under Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 5.0.7.

      1. Launch Opera; disable extensions (including ad-blocker)
      2. Open a new tab
      3. Click on the address bar
      4. Type some characters so Suggestions and History appear
      5. Press ↓ (down arrow) a couple of times to select one of the URLs
      6. Press Alt+Enter

      Expected behaviour: The selected entry opens in a new tab, like in other browsers, and like if the user had typed something without selecting from the Suggestions/History

      Actual behaviour: Nothing happens

        Has anybody looked at this? Is there a way I can bump it? While Opera is now my preferred browser, this issue is the main thing that makes me say 'it's really good, but it's got a few really annoying bugs', because I trip up on it every day.

        I haven't found a current Opera repo in GitHub. If somebody can point me to it, I could have a go at fixing this myself?

          @nomadMik It used to work before?

          If so, you can report it using the Report a problem tool.

            @leocg I'm afraid I don't know if it ever worked in Opera. It's worked in Firefox and Chrome, as long as I've used those browsers, and it works in Opera if I alter an existing URL and that ends up in Suggestions. But I've never seen it work for History, so it's inconsistent, and therefore reasonable to consider a bug.

            I'll look for that tool. Cheers.

              @leocg Can you point me to the page with the email address for Report a problem for Linux? My websearching has brought me to that page for the Touch version, and the iOS version, but I haven't found it for the version I'm using. Even when I replace ios in the URL with linux, it forwards to the Touch version. But I'm using the desktop version.

              Thanks.
