Tried that. Can't see the feature anywhere. Not the only one to miss it either.
Version:63.0.3368.71

Gahh. Found it! Must be going blind / senile / both.

Found it using CTRL F and doing a wordsearch; for some reason I have trouble parsing the settings. File under: oldbrain.

I'd thought i'd found a fix but it didn't work.

So screenshots. On the left the symptom, on the right the setting in preferences I thought would disable it.

I'm on a wacom mobile studio pro. Am I missing a setting? I've spent 30 minutes on this, have even disabled flow, but this pop up just won't go away. I haven't had this annoying issue on Chrome btw.

@dermotmoconnor Here disabling that setting makes the pop-up to not show up when a text is selected.
I guess what you are seeing may not be from Opera. Or maybe it1s a bug with touch devices.

That is not Opera's pop-up menu, no. Opera's menu would include Search and Send to My Flow (even if Flow was never configured).

Thanks Sgun; so it looks like some Windows/Wacom mess. God help me trying to find the switch.
