actually had this. thought it was a dud add-on.
one factor of the bug was that it did work for some fields, but ignored the [ins] setting, meaning i was overtyping what i had already done.

I had the same problem since version 32. I was so fed up with it that I was about to dump Opera. The only fix that works so far is to completely disable mouse gestures and use a different mouse gesture extension for chrome. So far, haven't seen a single lock up since. Something about the mouse gesture that is built into Opera is locking up and preventing any input. This often occurs on any web sites using Adobe Flash.

If it wasn't for the lack of updates for Coolnovo, I would have stayed with Coolnovo and dumped Opera a long time ago. Opera is barely usable only with adding about 5 to 6 extensions to enable simple Tab management options such as opening pages in a background tab, preventing the closing of application when the last tab has been closed, setting a new start page or replacing the crappy built-in speed dial software. Speed dial 2 is generations ahead of the garbage that Opera uses. Its sad how a great browser turned to crap by developers who doesn't listen to their own customers. They keep adding useless features and won't fix the things that makes browsing bearable by adding more tab browsing options. I hope they actually pay attention to the UI more instead of focusing on stupid changes like rewording "Opera" on the upper left corner to "Menu". Give me a break.

This is Opera for Windows' forum. You will most probably have better luck if you post in Opera for *nix forum.

Now here's the kicker: I'm using Opera 12, essentially a different program, and I met with the same problem. Now it's ok again. It seems to get it working normally again, I need to restart. I believe the developers did something remotely that broke something.

The same happens to me, this is really annoying. I've been an Opera user for years, I'm really used to it but if I cannot find a solution to this, I'm afraid I'll have to start chroming or something and I really hope not to do so.

Same issue. Has happened several times before during the past 6 months but it seems like this 'feature' is not going anywhere.

35.0.2066.92 & Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)

Edit: Possibly triggered by copy & paste but only occasionally.

This is very frustrating and still happens to me in every version from several months. Now I'm using:

Version: 35.0.2066.92
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

and writing from IE because keyboard wasn't working in Opera and the browser needs to be restarted every time. facepalm I always reproduce it when I open the developer tools to inspect elements on a site I'm developing and trying the Mobile view. Please fix this because it's really unusable.
