      First of all - I reported this error using Opera Bug Report Wizard on May 28th while it was happening in Opera Beta. Bug report got ID: DNAWIZ-29482. I didn't get any reply.

      You can reproduce this error only if your mouse has extra backward/forward buttons.

      Clicking mouse back button goes back by 2 pages instead of 1, example:
      I'm on site A then I navigate to site B and then to C. Pressing backward mouse button gets you to site A instead of site B

      When i click and hold back button on my mouse then opera goes back by only one site, then I release that button and it goes back one more page. Same thing happens with forward button. I checked that on 2 different computers running Linux Mint with 2 different mouses. Button numbers in xinput test are the same for both computers so I assume that it's error that could possibly affect more users than just me. Strangely enough this behavior does not occur on Windows.

      I checked which buttons are clicked exactly on my mouse by terminal command "xinput test <device_id>", it seems that someone changed opera's behavior by triggering forward/backward navigation on both key press and release:
      button press 8
      button release 8
      button press 9
      button release 9

        I can confirm this both on KDENeon and OpenSuse. Very annoying.

          Same here, extremely annoying, may have to switch to chrome for a while. This is happening on Ubuntu 18.04LTS. Also, happening only in Opera. Registers press as click, and release as clicks, on forward and back buttons.

            Same here, openbox on debian testing x64. I thought my mouse was broken.

                Same issue in Ubuntu 18.04. This looks just like a Chromium bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=821253

                    I do not have it on chromium 67, and I do not recall having it on 66 either...
