I am also having this problem, very annoying! Restarting does nothing.

Same here.
Running opera 43 following auto-update.
Ubuntu 14.04 TLS.
Font of address bar and bookmarks unreadable!

I don't know any answer to the problem yet... Please update, because it makes this otherwise AWESOME browser quasi unusable at the moment!

I have the same small font. I looks like the font is two size smaller and not sharp. It looks ugly.

My System:

Arch Linux
Opera 43.0.2442.806-1

I too have the same problem after I updated to Opera 43.0.2442.806 on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (x86_64; MATE). Having a hi-res monitor makes it very difficult to read Opera's Tabs and Menus. I didn't have this problem before this update.

I hope it gets fix soon or I'm have to dual-boot to Windows 8.1Pro which doesn't have this issue with Opera.

Thanks for a GREAT Browser!!

Found the proper fix. I followed this answer in this stackoverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41907095/font-size-of-bookmarks-and-tabs-got-small-for-chrome-in-ubuntu-16-04

Find the line
{code}Exec=opera %U{code}

And replace with
{code}Exec=opera --force-device-scale-factor=1 %U{code}

Restart opera and viola!

Good for Linux Users

Thx for sharing

This solution does not apply for windows, so, we will wait.

Oh yes. I forgot to add, the fix I mentioned was only for Ubuntu.

Thanks Devlin, It Fixed it.

What I did...

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop

and followed your code replacements...

Find the line {code}Exec=opera %U{code}

And replace with {code}Exec=opera --force-device-scale-factor=1 %U{code}

Restart opera and viola!

I have Opera on the Ubuntu panel and it started with small text. But from the Application Menu, Opera started with the correct font size so I removed the Opera from the panel and replied it back to the panel and all is good again.
