      Hi all!
      For the last few days whenever I click on a tab to view it, it keeps closing instead, which is getting annoying as I have to go into the history each time to recover them.
      Is anyone else having this problem and if so how did you fix it?
      Thanks in advance

        21 days later and I'm still having this problem. As much as I love Opera, if it doesn't get fixed soon I may have to change browsers. 😞

          @tjrjn Did you check your mouse settings? Usually middle clicking on a tab should close it, but left clicking or right clicking.

            @leocg Hi, thanks for the input. I've checked my mouse settings but it seems fine. I have no issues like this with any other browser. Admittedly I have a few tabs up because I do a lot of research but the problem is fairly new yet my multiple tab count isn't.

                Does your Alt key stick? Testing keys, Alt-click closes the clicked tab.

                    @tjrjn you are most welcome..

                    to me i'd say mouse is work 'n ok - ya already ruled out n e stuck keys and jammed mouse wheel since ya said it doesn't happened with other browsers..

                    so no virus stuff either my guess..

                    if it is not extensions.. What is do 'n this ! ?.. *i give up lol

                    does it happen if ya start opera in private mode..

                    ya might need to create a new profile
