      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

                            I'm surprised how long it takes to fix such an annoying bug.

                                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...
