        I am seeing this problem as well. At first, cmd+T seemed to be impacted greater than clicking the '+' tab button, but sometimes the problem disappears temporarily (intermittent).

          Yes, am seeing this problem too. Hasn't been happening for very long but it's already very annoying! Thanks to those who have posted more details on the circumstances when it happens (intermittently).

            Same here too.
            It also happened to me while trying to open several bookmarks all at once, from the Bookmarks page.
            Tried un-installing and re-installing the app from scratch, but once the latest update pops up, the issue returns. Seems to have to do with multi-tabs.

                Just found this on another forum about Opera's crashes, I hope this helps. I'll keep you informed on the effects on my browser:

                1. Launch Opera and open its hidden secret advanced configuration page using opera://flags command in address bar.

                2. Now click inside "Search experiments" text box and type 'throttling'. It'll show the following two options in the results:

                Background tab throttling Mac, Windows, Linux
                Throttle timers in background tabs. #background-tab-throttling

                Throttle expensive background timers Mac, Windows, Linux
                Enables intervention to limit CPU usage of background timers to 1%. #expensive-background-timer-throttling

                1. To disable background tabs throttling feature, select 'Disabled' from the drop-down box of both options.
                2. Opera will show you a message "Your changes will take effect the next time you relaunch Opera" along with a button to relaunch Opera. Click on the "Relaunch Now" button to restart Opera web browser.

                  Same problem here. Opera has always been stable until this latest iteration.
                  Version: 51.0.2830.55 - Opera is up to date
                  Update stream: Stable
                  System: Mac OS X 10.13.3 64-bit

                      @stevencee I'm leery of 'experimental' fixes. I'd like Opera to issue a stable, fixed version of the browser.

                          I thought it did until a few minutes ago, when the issue returned. 😡

                            Yep, that only seemed to be a workaround, while the guys come up with something stable. ☹
