        @irmacguyver Where are you pasting it? It's a regular text box? It's a search field? What?

          @irmacguyver Do you use more than one language for spell checker? Is the correct one selected?

            @leocg I thought I already said in the first post that it was the reply field or post field of different sites and even gave Facebook as an example since it stops me from leaving the site without finishing the post.@leocg said in I've got 3 problems.

              @irmacguyver So when you paste something in a reply box, like the one used here, Opera tries to search/open what was pasted?

                  Yeah. Not always but most of the time. I haven't checked here but I'm on my phone now so I can't check. And this has been happening for a while so it's not the recent update everyone else is complaining about.

                    @irmacguyver Some examples of sites where you see it happening may be helpful.

                      Well I already said Facebook. Youtube does it as well. The dictionary was already english. And I still see no way to implement google as the spellchecker. It's really getting annoying using what ever the built in spell check is. Cause it's crap. Mistype something too poorly and you get no result and like I said it doesn't deal with proper names well at all.

                      The ctrl shft v doesn't make me move away from the current page on this forum though. It still happens on youtube and facebook though. Facebook blocks it. Youtube lets it happen and forgets anything I've been typing. Some other sites might open the link or create a search if it's just text but hitting the back button brings me back with the previous typed text still intact thanks to their own draft cookie functionality.

                      Also still noone has answered my question about how to fix sites like IMDB from seeing Opera as a mobile platform and giving me the mobile version of the site.

                        @irmacguyver Couldn't reproduce here. Pasting something in a reply/text field just does what it should do.
