        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 here, very annoying. Version 35.0.2066.92 on Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

                        It triggers when I use mobile view in developer tools.

                          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.

                                      I found a great solution!!! A new chrome-based browser called Vivaldi. Its by one of the original co-creators of Opera. It is one smooth and polished browser and it even has a "bookmark" feature on version 1.0 (shakes head at Opera). I switched back to Chrome because of this bug that drove me nuts. Now I'm going to give Vivaldi a try.

                                      Finally, a real browser company that listens to the customers. It incorporates most of the tab settings that was in original Opera and Tax Mix Plus for Firefox. Give it a try and make your own decisions about staying with Opera and hoping they would fix known bugs that has been added for over a year.

                                        I also have this issue and it drives me insane! I have this on Windows 7 64 bit, 16 GB RAM and i7 3.6 GHz.
                                        I usually have loads of tabs opened, sometimes I have 2 or 3 Opera windows opened. Barely 1/3 of my memory is used, so there is no reason for Opera to act like that.
                                        Just to make it clear, the input in the DOM is not working (not sure if CTRL+V works), but the address bar is fine, and mouse gestures do not respond. I have just a few widgets installed, browser plug-ins still work.
                                        FIX THIS ISSUE, OPERA and bring back good old tab stacking!

                                          I am having the same issue.

                                          Version: 37.0.2178.54 - Opera is up to date
                                          Update stream: Stable
                                          System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

                                          Keyboard just stops accepting inputs. Mouse works. I usually have to close Opera and reopen it to make keyboard work again.

                                          Very annoying!

                                            I have the same anoying problem, since several months. On different computers, different systems (once Windows 7, 64-bit and once Windows 10, 64-bit), Opera always updatet to newest Version. Maybe, it has to do with my profile or some extensions?
                                            Keyboard works well from starting Opera, but after a while not using it (and changing from different program-tabs) it stops reacting (nothing works, not even CTRL+...). Only thing then: to restart Opera. Mouse works fine all the time.
                                            I would be glad if anyone knew how to stop this.
