<![CDATA[[Bug]Private start with command line ruins tabs list in normal]]>for fast use of private window i created myself a link file
D:\Progs\Opera\launcher.exe --private

  • if you run normal Opera with tabs list you use and then private with this link file - everything is ok.
  • if normal is closed and you run private, then close private and run normal - everything is fine too.
  • if normal is closed and you run private, then while private is still open run normal - all your tabs in normal are gone! whatever run/close patterns you do next, tabs are already gone.

hope this helps to fix. lost my tabs already twice to figure this out.

Just curious if you got the same result running the app directly.

Yes. Same result.

If launcher.exe is forwarding the --private correctly, I would assume it wouldn't matter.

I see that if you launch Opera normally, open a private window, close the normal window so that only the private window is open and launch Opera normally, a non-private window opens with the tabs from last time with no problems. So, it's just with the command-line setting it seems.
