      I have a problem with balloon tips not working since the recent update to 64.0.3417.54. (Windows 7) When I say balloon tips I mean hovering over items like the start page and reload buttons also all items in the bookmark bar and probably in other places too.
      The thing is that I have a similar problen with Vivaldi that I have had for about 4 weeks since an update, they could not reproduce the problem. If I go back to a version of Opera before this current release the balloon tips come back ! In my opinion it can only be chromium related, but why just me ?

        @mike88 This is a Chromium issue. As a workaround, set the flag opera://flags/#enable-aura-tooltips-on-windows to Disabled and restart the browser.

            @paulrevere Just copy the address into Opera's address bar and hit ENTER. 😉

                Many thanks to johnd78 for the workaround. I have not yet tried it on Opera because this machine only has Vivaldi on it, solution works fine. Will the flag need to be changed back to default at some stage ?

                  @mike88 This flag appeared in chromium 77, but it was already cut in chromium 79. Chromium developers are working on this problem.

                    @johnd78 Yes, Opera Developer 66.0.3472.0 no longer has this flag because it already has chromium 79.0.3921.0
