Cmd+W closes the window instead of the tab.

Tested on multiple Macs and still happening with latest version.
This is very annoying, as Chrome, FF and Safari don't have such a bug. -

Has anyone tried creating a keyboard shortcut under App Shortcuts to override the Close tab shortcut? It may sound weird, but it is worth trying as a user-side patch if it does work.
I'm currently using this now but I cannot recall the last time it has closed the window so I want to see if this idea can work for others too.

Still happening for me (Mojave 10.14.3, Opera 58.0.3135.65). Extremely annoying and no improvement after the latest updates. Clearly an Opera bug — I use this shortcut a lot and no other app ever had this issue.

Updated to the latest version 58.0.3135.68 but the problem is still there.
And that's clearly an Opera bug, as I use Cmd+W a lot across all apps and no other app has ever had this problem.

The solution proposed by @ant8672 worked for me, in the absence of an internal Opera fix.

58.0.3135.90 - cmd+w closes the window (intermittent issue). Also window close button sometimes closes another window. Extremely annoying.

@avl said in Cmd+W closes the window instead of the tab.:
Everyone, my most sincere apologies, I read some information wrong: the fix for the remaining issue that occurs after opening a new window was not backported to O58 in time for the initial release, so it'll only be in the next O58 update to come along. This will be released at the start of next week.
Public bugtracker would help significantly in cases like this. Everyone would be able to track the status of the issue instead of complaining in comments.

They probably would complain about the status of the bug.

I also experience this!! its so frustrating and it also happens pretty inconsistently. I can't tell what what might be causing it. Sometimes, navigating or closing tabs with the mouse seems to fix the issue but never permanently.
please fix!! -

I have another workaround: switch to another app, then switch back to Opera and the bug is gone for that session.
62.0.3331.119 - still not fixed

Still not working reliably on 63.0.3368.35.
Interesting responses here are the one from ant8672 and totyahu. Switch to another application and back to Opera and it starts to work correctly?! Weird...
