Now, if you have an audio/volume/eq extension installed at the URL opera://extensions, it might not work for the sidebar, which could cause the difference. If that's the case though, the sidebar would be the original, non-enhanced sound.

I guess you could test with "Use graphics acceleration when available" off at the URL opera://settings/system to see if that fixes it.

This has resulted in the menu dropping down and closing the entire browser because X is a shortcut in the menu for eXit.

This is ridiculous. And to have no way to turn it off or assign it to a different (Out of the way and unused) button is a horrendous flaw by both the damage it can do and how absurdly easy it would be to fix. I am peeved and extremely disappointed in Opera for allowing this to be a problem for years and causing me to lose over an hour of painstaking, creative work that I can't get back.

Either fix it, change it, or forward this message to somebody who can. Absolutely idiotic that this is still an issue. I don't care about your excuses or reasons for it existing or "countermeasures" that require a secondary key press so it doesn't activate (Which requires the Alt key to be intentionally pressed in the first place), just fix this glaring mistake of a "feature" or continue losing users over it, myself included.

I recently migrated from another browser where cmd+click (or ctrl+click in Windows) was "open link in new tab and select it" and cmd+shift+click (or ctrl+shift+click in Windows) was "open link in new tab but don't select it". I'm used to this way to browse, and I don't want to unlearn what I've known for years and learn a new behaviour.

I can't find a setting to change this behaviour. Is there something I'm missing or an extension that will do this for me?

Thanks in advance.

I have a same issue.

Then you can use F4 to toggle it.

You don't have to use F4 though. It's just what the old Presto-based Opera Browser suite (Opera 12) used to toggle its sidebar.

This is not the case with using bookmarks.
This might be due to this whole browser app system, but this is not helpful.

Steps to reproduce:
-Go to website https://ethermine.org/miners/EDe6BbF90A495004F494D7D241E926a5b8E22249/dashboard
-Add to homescreen AND quickaccess/bookmark

Expected behavior:
-They should behave similar
Actual behavior:
-Complete link is not used with homescreen shortcut, you land on a landing page

In opera it automatically creates a new tab next to the current tab (which is far better) but I'm wondering if there's a similar shortcut to close the current tab in Opera mobile. (I just don't want to have to open the tab window to close a tab)
