      Hi,
      I mentioned this problem previously in a post that is now locked: a workaround was suggested by burnout426 in that post and that workaround worked until the last update (v 69).
      The problem, that appeared with v 65: an a windows tablet, I was having a problem selecting entries from the address field. Auto-completion worked fine, but when I touched the screen with my finger to select the desired entry, nothing happens. If instead I use a mouse to select the entry, it works normally.
      The workaround: goto the URL opera://flags/#reborn-3-dropdown, disable the flag.
      This worked in versions 65-68, but now with the stable version 69, this flag seems to be gone, and the problem has no solution -- Opera appears to be hardly usable with a Windows tablet.
      Is there a new solution that could work for version 69 (and future versions as well)?
      Thanks!

        So, nobody, no developer, to tell us why the address bar in Opera has become unusable for Windows tablet users? Is this feature gone forever ? Since I synchronize Opera among several devices, it would be good to know if this is a temporary glitch (in which case I guess most tablet users would wait), or if it's gone forever (in which case we would regrettably need to move -- neither Chrome nor Vivaldi have this issue).
        Thanks!
