      Hey guys! 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?

                After the last update to 55.0.2994.56 (Kubuntu 18.04), there is no focus inside address bar if I am opening a new tab, clicking on the plus icon, however, there is focus inside address bar if I am opening a new tab using keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + T).

                  Same here. Seriously annoying. Almost went back to chrome just because of this stupid bug.

                    Folks, no need to repeat it again and again. Please read this thread carefully and you will see that Opera confirmed it is the bug which will be resolved in the next release. End of story.

                      I moved from Beta to Stable channel just to avoid annoying bugs like this, yet here I am again.

                          I have a feeling that before, in older versions, when opening a new bar, you could enter the new address or word to search.

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

                          If not, please put it.

                            @wagnerfilho89 They said the next stable update will fix the issue.

                                Why wait for the next stable update, when you can roll out the fix before aggravating even more users and THEN work on "important" updates.

                                  Because there are other ways to open a new tab, so there's no need to rush the release just to fix that problem.

                                    I understand why it isn't considered an urgent priority, however, I also want to register the fact that because I am so used to this behaviour, I keep typing my searches into the void and it is driving me up the wall.

                                          Glad I found this thread.
                                          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.
