<p dir="auto"><strong>Problem Description:</strong> When attempting to type a URL into the address-bar, various characters are unable to be typed because they've been mapped as short-cuts to features.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Examples.</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">Attempting to type <a href="http://www.anything.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">www.anything.com</a> fails because the "." character cannot be typed as part of an address.</p>
<p dir="auto">Attempting to type <a href="http://www.webservice.com/mywebservice?wsdl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">www.webservice.com/mywebservice?wsdl</a> fails because the "?" character causes the in-page search to appear.</p>
<p dir="auto">Attempting to type a URL with certain numbers in fails because some numbers have been mapped to changing the zoom level of the current page.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Solution:</strong> Go to the address below and ensure that the feature "Enable advanced keyboard shortcuts" is disabled. I did not previously enable this feature so it should probably be disabled by default to avoid this issue.</p>
<p dir="auto">opera://settings/?search=keyboard</p>
<p dir="auto">Additional Info: Currently on Opera Developer 41.x. Tested and confirmed fix while all extensions disabled to prove this was not extension related.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Suggestion:</strong> At a minimum, if this is a useful feature in general, adding a check on the advanced keyboard shortcuts to ensure the keyboard focus is not in the address bar would probably be a good starting point.</p>
