      Is the "Smart" fill-in in the Address field Opera's doing or Windows (11)? There have been updates of both within the past week, so I'm not sure which controls, but am guessing Opera. The problem is that during the past very few days, when I type a search term or short URL, then look up at the address bar, what's showing has absolutely nothing to do with what I typed, except for the first couple of letters. And what's entered is not even highlighted, which would make it easier to get rid of. Since some two letter combinations, such as "in," are common to many possibilities, I'm guessing the system is putting up the last thing in memory. For others less common, such as "fa," it's less of a problem. This erroneous auto fill-in happens numerous times a day and is really annoying -- and it's new in the quantitative degree that it's occurring. In Settings, I have all AI and Enhanced Address Bar settings disabled, thus I assume it's coming from somewhere else.

        THIS!!!

        My has been doing the same thing since the introduction of Version 122 Stable builds (122.0.5643.17 and now .24). It is very annoying. I begin to type in the address field and after only 1 or 2 letters Opera automatically completes where it thinks I want to go and just sits there. Then I need to go into the address field, double-click to get it to select all text, then type in the actual address I want to go to (or a complete new search tern).

        I also have all AI and Enhancements turned off, and have DuckDuckGo set as the default search engine.

          How can one file a bug report w/o a video or screenshot?

                  @leocg there's the requirement: "Attach any relevant files".

                      @leocg Nope. Can't you just try it, yourself? 😉

                      Of course, an irrelevant image could be attached, just to fulfil the requirement, but the Bandwidth Police may disapprove...

                        @Opera-QA-Team Thank you. Before you posted, I filed a bug report: BS-103724. I supplied a quasi-example, showing what Opera put in and mentioning in the text what I had typed.

                        Definitely, just one letter will do it. It's one of those things where it was relatively seamless before and so I can't remember for sure how it worked. By my vague recollection is that as the typing started, Opera would insert something highlighted in the Address field, but if one kept typing the latter would be replaced by the user's text. If so, that's what is often not happening now.

                          Just to add another example - mine is acting exactly like @sgrandin is. I do not have a screenshot or video (the behavior is hard to capture), but his explanation is identical to my behavior.

                          Basically instead of starting auto-complete and having it "grow" as you continue to type letters, Opera just takes the first letter, makes a guess, completely fills in the address field, then just sits there. It does not continue with recommendations, and it does not load the page that it auto-completed.

                            @sgrandin I realize that I didn't say...This problem arises after opening a new tab, where the cursor goes to the address field and the user expects to be able to type what they want, replacing the "smart" entry with what's typed.

                              @sgrandin Appears so far to have been fixed with update 122.0.5643.92. Thanks,

                                @sgrandin Agree - so far it seems to be working correctly for me as well on 122.0.5643.92.

                                Thanks Opera!
