<![CDATA[Links not opening in private window]]>44.0.2510.857 (PGO)

When the standard Opera browser is in background and minimized and a private window is open and in the foreground links from applications now default to the standard Opera window and not the private window. Previously links would open in the private window as default (even if minimized) when opening from any application.

Clearly you cannot comprehend what "kind of" defines.

I was just informing people that they should not use that page to ask for support.

Bug reporting does not need forum confirmation, reporting a bug requires detailed information how a bug can be reproduced.

The confirmation is to see if it's really a bug in Opera and/or also if it haven't been report already.

Found official support, kind of.

This is not a support page, it's for reporting bugs once you have them confirmed by others.

Clearly you cannot comprehend what "kind of" defines.

In any case it is closed ended official support, it's handled by opera developers. It's bug reporting, if the developers need more information regarding a bug they will contact the user.

Email links opening new instances when there is a private instance opened already.

NOT HIDDEN within a gear under an avatar. Bonehead developers.

Still, this thread has been hijacked enough. Back on topic.

There will be an entry in there named "edit". It will only be in there for the first 30 minutes after a post is made.

Back on topic, Links not opening in private window as described issue persists.

Back on topic, issue persists.

Seriously, no edit feature on the forums. Who's the nutjob developer who designed this software?

It's not that uncommon at all for a forum not to allow its users to edit and/or delete posts. Many big outlets tend to do this, especially in the media.

(edit)

Just so you know: you can edit your post within the first 30minutes after posting 😉

Do developers actually answer questions here rather than hide in the background moderating posts?

Nope, this is basically an users' forum and although some Opera employees may come here eventually and reply on some topics, we should not expect any answers from them.

Seriously, no edit feature on the forums.

You can edit your posts up to 30 minutes after the time it was published.
