      When I try to dock the un-docked DevTools window on Mac Catalina, the Opera crashes and restarts and keeps the DevTools undocked.

        @vpatel Today I found the same bug with undocked DevTools. Here's how to fix it:

        1 – Close Opera
        2 – Open both Preferences & Preferences.backup json files:

        ~/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Preferences
        ~/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Preferences.backup
        

        3 – Update these settings & save

        "currentDockState":"\"right\"",
        "lastDockState":"\"right\"",
        "dock":{"state":true}
        

        4 – Open Opera
        5 – Open DevTools

            @felixexter Would you know how to solve this problem in Windows?
            I updated Opera to the latest version (67.0.3575.137), but it didn't work.

            I found these JSON files at: %appdata%\Opera Software\Opera Stable

            I changed it as shown, but the problem continued.

              Strange ... his description is much the same as my earlier answer for Windows, so it should work - as long as Opera is not running when you do it.

                @brnmatrix should be the same way updating these json files:

                C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Preferences
                C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Preferences.backup
                

                I didn't find that bug on Windows, but have another one:

                1. Undock DevTools
                2. Dock it back
                3. Click on 3 dots button.
                4. Opera crashes & reopens.
