<![CDATA[Opening new tab with mouse, it's not select the address bar automatically for typing]]>I notice that when i open new tab with mouse, cant't write in address bar instantly, need to put the mouse over the bar to write. But with ctrl+t, no need to put the cursor in address bar, is already there. Is there a way to change the first one?

I was starting to think I'd been gaslighting myself here.

The auto-select of the address bar is so ingrown a functionality for me that its absense causes me slight confusion and annoyance about thirty times a day.

I see that in the version I'm using this does not happen. (55.0.2994.56).

If not, please put it.

Hugs the Opera team.

Since the latest update, the address bar isn't active after I press CTRL+T to open a new tab.

After opening a new tab, I type some stuff and then look up at the screen to see it didn't appear, so I have to click (or press tab) to activate the bar and type again.

Could you put the cursor back into the address bar after opening a new tab?

This problem appeared after the latest update 55.0.2994.56, the previous 55.something was fine.

Normal course of action used to be:

  1. open new tab
  2. start typing in the address or search word
  3. open the desired site

Now it is:

  1. open new tab
  2. start typing in the address or search word (nothing happens)
  3. grab the mouse and click on the address field (if I press Tab it activates the search field, not the address field)
  4. repeat #2
  5. open the desired site

I never imagined something small like this could be quite so annoying.

I even created a topic for this issue before seeing this one. Sorry Opera admins. Hope you delete that topic before going online.
Anyway, this problem is annoying and it's not the first time it happened. It almost make me wish to try blocking any future updates.
