the search popup (redesigned) is still bad:

it's appearing collapsed (none of the buttons is preselected) but after hovering icon transforms to button immediately and such behavior looks choppy. Such design suits for the vertical menu like in Edge, not for the horizontal one.

while text is selected but after scrolling the search popup doesn't disappear and stay floating.

quite easily the cursor can be placed between the icons (because of the big padding) and is need to move cursor more to trigger the menu.

if redesigning like this, then the search popup should have light and dark mode (like in Edge).

the search/copy and converter separate bubbles + the bold dot at the bottom don't't look great imho.

*btw, if the upper bubble is not expanded, then there's a space between the two bubbles. But after expanding the space disappears.

Also, the round corners as not as good decorated as in the old popup. There's too simple pixelated corners

@LALuseeen Maybe there never have been enough demand for it.
How many downloads people do daily for it to happen often enough to be a problem? How many of those downloads take that long to even allow you to start something on a different app?

@Opera-QA-Team That's great! Thank you for listening and caring.

@opera-qa-team: Another quick update: I just did a downgrade test and installed an older build (v130.0.5847.92), which used to work perfectly fine for me in the past. Surprisingly, the issue persists even on the older Opera version with a clean profile.

This completely rules out a regression in the Opera v131 code itself. Instead, it points to a recent change in my Windows 11 environment (likely a recent Windows Update, a GPU driver update, or a persistent system hook from customization tools) that altered how the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) handles window initialization and focus allocation for private Chromium windows.

Since it's not an Opera bug, you can close this investigation! I will have to dig deeper into my OS settings and background services to find out what is blocking the focus hook on system level.

Thanks again for your time and help!

@burnout426: yeah it works in every browser except Opera

Why is there no new build?

@doxazoolaife: How did you redeem the points?
