      Hi, just installed flow on my phone and updated Opera for Windows, it's working great! However, I just found out how often I use the Alt+D combination to select the address bar and everything in it. Because in the latest version, the cursor goes to the address bar, but the URL isn't selected anymore, and that means that it is not a shortcut anymore, but more work....Is there another shortcut to select the address bar and the URL in it in one movement?

        It still works on a PC so I should think that the problem lies with the phones O.S

          I have the exact same issue. This is a huge productivity problem. I've been using ALT+D and CTRL+L for decades across all browsers and expect the text to be highlighted so I can type in a new address.

            Just tried. Oh man, that is bad. Must be a regression surely?

                alt text
                After updating R2, when you click the shortcut to focus on the address bar, Opera does not select the entire address

                  Please fix this, it's so annoying I'm considering switching to Chrome or Firefox 😞
