      I love the ability to be able to click a tab and be brought back to the top of the page and vice versa...BUT, if I highlight some text and use that highlight to do a search (right click or use the popup from the highlighted text), Opera takes me to a new tab. Ok that's fine. But if I want to go back to that page and use the highlighted text to to something else with a right click, Opera has now deleted the highlight and I have to highlight it again. (on SOME pages)

      I know this is because for the new "click tab function", but the programmers need to disable it if Opera displays a new tab and then you go back to the highlighted page.

      What's interesting, Opera does this on SOME pages and not on others, for instance::

      In this page

      https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/17/us/politics/trump-russia.html

      (NYTimes), doing the highlight and going back to it after a search for the headline, the highlight is gone. Whereas, on this page::

      https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/the-21st-century-russian-sleeper-agent-is-a-troll-with-an-american-accent/2018/02/17/d024ead2-1404-11e8-8ea1-c1d91fcec3fe_story.html?utm_term=.13c598eda607

      the highlight stays.

      ??
