      @marinaz909 there's no steps to reproduce. Happens randomly
      As original post describes, happens simply after closing split tab. No keyboard is used.

      Edit:

      It seems I've found a way to reproduce it but actually can happen not only after the described steps as it seems.

      1. Open browser and create split tab

      2. Now create new tab

      3. Now move the created tab before the split tab

      4. close split tab

      5. the blue border

        Try disabling some categories, 'Top sites' for example, maybe top sites collecting causes the delay.

        It's set to show only the recent searches.

        so it might be related to your specific system setup or device performance.
        Possible causes could include a heavily loaded system, accumulated cache or cookies, custom settings, or browser extensions that might interfere with the address bar behavior.

        Impossible, I have a quite powerful laptop.
        And I use only three addons: IDM Integration Module, uBO, and Aha Music.

          @pilis00 Maybe you can try to log out from Opera. I don't know how exactly the synchronization works but maybe there's some delay because of the search in synchronized data.

              It doesn't work.

                @pilis00 I don't know, it appeared quickly first time on your last demo. I can suggest try installing portable version or trying temporary fresh profile.

                      @pilis00 I have Stable installed as portable so I can only provide an example (how I do it personally) how check in Developer.

                      Check on Opera> About page where's your profile folder is located.

                      In my case it's

                      C:\Users\ [your_pc_name] \AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Developer\Default.

                      So I just rename the 'Default' into 'DefaultOld' for example.

                      After starting the browser there'll be new 'Default' folder created.
                      To return back to use old profile just delete the 'Default' folder and rename 'DefaultOld' back to 'Default'

                      *But if it works in Portable, then it's probably smth. related to
                      collected data based on browser use.

                        Hi, after updating to this version, every time I restart my PC I get the "intro" and "welcome" screens. I also have to log in again to sites I had already logged in.
                        I tried uninstalling and reinstalling this version and the previous version but I still have this problem

                          @andrew84 I uninstalled Opera using Revo Uninstaller Pro, then reinstalled it.

                          Still not fixed for some reason 😕

                            @pilis00 Most probably you reinstalled the browser but the profile is still old.

                            *Btw, I discovered another on bug regarding the dropdown's 'Top sites'. When I click 'Discard' using the 3 dots tile's menu all the tiles disappear, not only the one I want to remove.

                              @andrew84 there is definitely something wrong with that dropdown menu, maybe it's related (I guess?) with that bug where the dropdown doesn't show anything for almost a second, and then it shows the suggestions. (which luckily got fixed in the Beta and Dev versions, according to @marinaz909 )

                                @pilis00 You can replace the "History" file in a test standalone installation with a copy from your regular Opera installation profile to see if that makes the standalone installation start doing it.

                                  @19Al Hello, thank you for your feedback we understand how frustrating this issue can be.
                                  One possible cause might be system optimization tools or privacy extensions (such as CCleaner, BleachBit, or similar) that automatically clear cookies and session data upon reboot. If you're using any such tools, we recommend checking their settings and disabling any features that delete cookies, cache, or browsing sessions.
                                  Let us know if the issue persists after this step, and we’ll be happy to assist further.

                                    So this is something quite weird.

                                        @andrew84 I tried just to install the portable version, without anything extra, basically, a clean install.

                                        In a clean portable install I didn't notice this issue yet.

                                        I didn't try its method yet, but I will definitely do it soon.

                                          This CPU increase makes even my fans to work much faster, they make noise.

                                            Yes, but the point is to make the Portable version 'not clean' by replacing its History by the History from your daily version. Just to determine if the delay refers to the History access.
