      Hi All, This is a second Opera developer release this week as a special holiday gift for you. We would like to present a new feature, which will make handling many tabs you have opened in the browser much easier. To give you easy and visually clear access to open tabs we’ve implemented a pop-up…

        It cycles the tabs forward, but how to cycle back..

        It should be like a common popup (in my opinion) similar to 'suggestions' on start page, with right/left arrows and horizontal scrollbar. It should be opened by using mouse too (some button must appear when there are many tabs).

                The feature doesn't work correctly here.
                When I hit Ctrl+Tab it shows me previously selected tab as active tab in this popup (and when I release the button it jumps to previous tab accordingly). Also it cycles tabs not in row in the browser's tab bar(I can see how does the tab's focus randomly jumps each time I press 'Tab')

                Edit:
                and comparing to 'Add a site' popup on start page, the new popup's rounded corners are horribly pixelated (both screenshot were made on the same 1366x768 display).

                    @andrew84: This is how it is very much designed to work - similar to the app switcher you have in your OS (Alt+Tab on Windows, Cmd+Tab on Mac) and also similar to how this feature already worked with a different UI in Opera before.

                    If you prefer to cycle tabs in visual order, you can do this - as before - by disabling the option "Cycle tabs in most recently used order" in settings.

                        Sometimes the color on the tabs titles is grey, not black (it become black when I hover cursor over it). It usually hapens when I open some new bookmarks via middle mouse button and close them via mouse gestures.
                        Anyone noticed the same thing?
                        I've made a gif example, look at this: https://jpegshare.net/code/5c/3a/5c3a7e25b24e30901f9a4789cbf77f14.gif.html

                          The bold separating line is fixed in TabMenu, but the hover effects look really weird and for 'open tabs' there's no hover effect.

                                Again no update for Linux, as the .deb file in PPA is obsolete.

                                  Why only 5 tabs... there could be as many tabs as the current windows's width allows (tabs count auto adjustment depending on window width, like it works for SpeedDial tiles). For example for 22'' display it will be ok to have 9-10 tiles visible.

                                    @andrew84 Or, as an option, one might just want to still have 5, but have the whole thing bigger in this case. (It looks like it's the same size no matter what, but didn't test.)

                                        As was already suggested by someone a piece time ago, the 'snapshot' feature should remember previously selected 'save image' path. Currently it shows 'Desktop' all the time.

                                          Seeing blank grey boxes on www.youtube.com website because the video thumbnails won’t load. Anyone else having this bug ?
