      @TosDev Your steps fits my observations with two differences:

      1. In my case problem shows up in both cases: CTRL+SHIFT+C shortcut and choosing inspect from context menu as well.
      2. In my case Opera doesn't crash every time. Usually if devtools are already open and I dont't use shortcut or context menu but only inspect icon form devtools it works properly.

        @Netergo Could you kindly provide us with the crash ID associated with this issue? You can find it in the opera://crashes page. It would greatly assist us in investigating the problem.

          @daria19 Most of the crashes in my case doesn't have an ID (Discarded=1). Only few have - this is one of those:
          CrashID=bp-662a4fc8-ecd1-499c-911b-936da0250105

            @Netergo Same here. I don't have a single crash with an ID.

              Problem persists in version Version: 116.0.5366.21.
              On my machine it crashes exactly every second time I inspect an element.

              This is a deal breaker, since I am a web developer and need this function all the time.

                Same issue here. When I inspect element it opens DevTools, but with DevTools opened when I click inspect again it crashes every time.
                When I close DevTools I can inspect again no problem.

                  @Gekiyaku said in DevTools crashes Opera:

                  Have the same problem. 115.0.5322.119 and 116.0.5366.21 (after an update that didn't help). I am a web developer and have been using Opera for over 15 years. I'm used to it. But now it is completely unusable. I can't work. It's horrible.

                    Same problem, I get it when:
                    a. DevTools is already open
                    b. I click the F12 key

                    Browser closes and then reopens.

                        This bug is now making Opera unusable for development purposes.

                        I've now given up waiting for a patch and have reinstalled a December 2024 version of Opera instead, over the current version.

                        I went to this version: https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/115.0.5322.113/win/

                        DevTools is now working OK.

                            @tomaustin Alas if I downgrade Opera, autoupdate kicks in and restores the latest version.
                            Frankly I don't understand why Opera cannot solve this problem, obviously it is a regression, the version where it started is well known, just have to look at version control.

                              @rumgezuzzl sadly, you're right. It worked for about 20-30 minutes, and then autoupdate (which one can't switch off) came along and ruined things.

                              Opera Devs -- is anyone there? Is anyone looking at this?

                                      @leocg still crashing on Today's stable 116 build. Time to move to some other browser... Recent versions are sooo buggy and UI-unbaked...

                                        Exactly the same error here. if devtools is open and i click with the mouse or CTRL +SHIFT +C , it crashes, close and open again
