Backward and forward buttons on Logitech Mouse not working with Opera

@tonivert I tried to see if Logitech could throw in their penny's worth. They were convinced that the hw is at fault...I don't believe this to be the case. When I get a replacement mouse (2-4 working days) I shall report back. I've also tried programming the back and forward key with "command" + "left" and "right" cursor which appear to work as keyboard shortcuts but didn't work when I tried the mouse buttons.

Definitely not a hardware problem. I managed to get the back button working when the cursor was focused on browsers scrollbar. The problem is in Opera.

@tonivert Thanks Toni, that's good to know...once I get a replacement mouse I'll start trying things out.

Now tested it again and back and forward buttons work when you are resizing browser window, and mouse cursor is two-ended arrow. Either on side or bottom/top. But when the cursor is on top of browser window, buttons stop working.

In vain attempts to solve this, I can only say "me too". Forward/back navigation buttons not working only in Opera, start working when hovering over the window border.
- Logitech MX Master 2S, Firmware 12.01.0006 if it makes any difference.
- Macbook Pro, Mojave 10.14.4.

Same problem. This is why I do NOT want auto updates, or if you must have a way to revert back.

@opera dev team: can't believe this bug is still not solved, PLEASE fix soon or I have to go back to Safari

Can confirm this also happens for Apple Magic Mouse.
On Opera 59, I used to 2 finger swipe left to go back (configured through System Settings > Mouse). This no longer works after the upgrade to Opera 60.

Also confirm it on macOS Mojave 10.14.4, with Opera version 60.0.3255.70 and MX Master 2S.
Personally, I found a "workaround". Using the side scroll-wheel to navigate pages (just as in Logitech Options app appears to be configured).
I randomly discovered that the back/forward buttons don't work in Apple Store (macOS). Whenever I navigate through the app pages, I use the wheel instead of the buttons.
Maybe it's not just an Opera "thing". Maybe it's wider than just Opera.
PS: in Safari everything works as before
but I still like Opera more (I even use it on my work laptop and Galaxy S8+). -

@valentiniudean Side scroll is a good workaround...I still prefer back and forward buttons. Never tried back and forward buttons with App store, but it's not working in 10.14.5(Beta) neither is side scroll. Back and forward also seem to be ok with Finder.

I'm also experiencing the same issue. And will be watching this space for a solution. Is anyone from the Opera development team monitoring this forum topic?

Obviously not, this is embarrassing
