      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.

        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...

                                      Just updated form 115.0.5322.119 to 116.0.5366.35
                                      I have the same issue in both versions: Right click on any page to 'inspect' in an external DevTools window. 1st 'inspect' is ok. If I do a second 'inspect' while external DevTools window is open, Opera closes an reopens with blank page.

                                      If DevTools is not in an external window this bug doesn't appear.

                                        Is anyone else having a problem when they already have DevTools open and click Ctrl+Shift+i again? For me, Opera closes completely when I do this, and when it happens sometimes I even lose sessions in applications like WhatsApp, Telegram, ChatGPT, etc.

                                        I opened a ticket 1 month ago, but it remains static (no reading, same status, no response and the problem persists)
