@miyukiwork thank you for your answer.
I just can not understand what do you mean with "It works in other browsers exactly as you described."? Which and why other browser? Is this issue/bug in Opera Mobile and it will be trying to be fixed or how can we understand your feedback?
Thanks -

Ignore what else?

Thank You mnb11!
I thought something broke in my phone. I uninstalled and reinstalled Opera on my Android phone. I tried everything I could think of. Waisting hours of my life.
WHY would a programmer disable a drop-down selection list in a text input field when the website author has taken the time to prepare a list of possible answers and the user wants to use it?
This is stupid, stupid, stupid!

what list do you mean?
On many web pages with forms, when you start filling-in an input field, the page will suggest an entry.
For example, in an online library catalogue, when I start typing 'Goet' in the 'Author:' field, the page suggests 'Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von'. Another example: On the website www.email2address.com, pressing the down arrow key once on my PC brings up a list of popular addresses. As soon as I start typing, the list is sorted according to my input. This used to work with Opera on Android too — one tap and the list would open. Now, however, I only see two or three suggestions above the keyboard. When I start typing, they disappear completely.
I hope I’ve made myself clear?

@Sunshine-3000 yes, i understood. This is bad behaviour. And the suggestion bar above the keyboard is totally missplaced, the drop-down was super.
I dont think they will bring this back -

Exactly
Okay, kind of update on that issue.
I just tried three other browsers on my Android phone: Chrome, Firefox, Startpage. All of them have removed the drop-down list for input fields.
Is this a global conspiracy by browser programmers to drive all users nuts?
Or is this an idiotic requirement from Google, imposed via the operating system itself?
