<![CDATA[Latest Update Broke the Opera UI]]>I have tested with a vanilla browser install to confirm this is not a plugin or theme error. The computer has been restarted into a new session.

The update today to version 71.0.3770.148 has left the browser in a sorry state. I can browse the web but I'm not able to click 'Menu' (nothing happens) or use the mouse' right-click button to open the context menu. Shortcuts work and I can access settings through the browser address bar i.e. by entering the local URL of various Opera settings pages.

I can drag pages to the bookmarks bar but dragging a page over a folder in the bookmarks bar does not trigger the folder to open to allow the page to be stored in bookmark bar folders.

The Opera Forums login button does not operate when clicked. I had to select the password field and press Return/Enter to trigger the sign in form to post.

This all suggests a Javascript or jQuery conflict caused by the browser UI.

My OS is Kubuntu 19.10 with Plasma 5.18.3.

Opera worked fine until today's update. Google Chrome (also up to date) does not have this problem.

In my case, they seem just a tad bit slower than usual, but no flickering whatsoever. One less thing to worry about.

I updated to version 72.0.3815.148 from October 21 and now the right-click-menu seems to work.
(even without hardware acceleration activated) Yay.

So, I recommend to update to the latest version.

However there is now a kind of design issue, every time you right-click and the menu starts to open there is a kind of double flickering while opening, happens to the O-Menu too.

But at least you can access the right-click-menu and the O-Menu now.

🙂

This bug related to Linux AMD graphic driver. This is Chromium bug since it the same for Opera and Vivaldi. I'm using both browsers every day and I intentionally disable hardware acceleration in Opera and enable in Vivaldi as longtime experiment.

As the result, the "hardware acceleration" option in Opera 71+ for me is now a switch between unusable UI and potential system crash. Keeping Opera 70 installed.

Just wanted to confirm. Actually, on all three versions since the problem started, turning Hardware Acceleration solves the situation. Basically, no changes in the most recent version. Unfortunately, turning that on is not an option for all of us. Thanks for replying.

That's unfortunate. I got the Opera 72 update but thought I'd check here before going to the trouble of installing it, not having it work, and then having to rollback to Opera 70.

I was hoping that all the versions of 71 were going to be the only ones not working correctly and everything would be back to normal when Opera 72 arrived.

At this point, forcing you to turn on hardware acceleration or not being able to use the browser seems to just be a feature for Opera Linux users, not an error, and will never be changed.

It may be time to move on.

@ctrlaltdel Not everyone experiences these issues and not everyone has problems with it. Most people would just go ahead and try it themselves for a day/week before deciding it. Its a free piece of software that you can easily install/uninstall along side any other browser. So yes, it (still) reads to me like the OP was looking for a reason to not try it. That is the troll part. Why bother posting that comment at all?

The browser is broken; the only people not having issues with it are the people that likely already had hardware acceleration activated.

The poster you called a troll, for no reason, was merely stating that he was glad that he came and checked things out here before installing.

He wasn't promoting another browser, he wasn't insulting a specific operating system in favor of another operating system and he wasn't ridiculing Opera users.

He merely stated that he was happy that he didn't go ahead and install a broken browser before checking out the comments here. That is what this board is for, to help people.

He was helped by visiting here. No one is enough of a fanboy of any software, I don't think, to call someone a troll for refusing to use a product that is not currently working correctly.

Free or proprietary doesn't really matter for what is being discussed. Of course anyone can uninstall or not use any piece of software that they don't like. But, if anyone was trolling, it was you be being reactionary and feeling as if you had to be the defender of Opera's integrity.

Try enabling "hardward acceleration" in the settings menu. I had the same issue and this fixed it for me. (CentOS7; Opera71)

The only pages the function won't work are those that have this button. It really bothers me as these pages are mainly forums in which I constantly go up and down and I'm too much accustomed to this function. This isn't as much an attrocity as the problem with the menus, but they should correct it.

I am using Opera with the current 71.0.3770.198 version. But since about 2 or 3 update I got these problems:

  • Right-Clicking does not work, when I click with my right mouse button no menu appears. And opera kinda freezes, freez is gone when I switch tab or switch window with alt+tab
  • The Opera-Menu doesn't open when I click on it
  • when you have to many bookmarks there is a >> symbol on the right, which normaly shows the remaining bookmarks. Clicking on it doesn't work either
  • when I am on the bookmarks page I can't use the button in the left bottom corner to backup the bookmarks

Are there others with the same problem?

Maybe some developer could look into this, for a fix in future updates.

Rest is running very good, well except the problem with libffmpeg.so (https://forums.opera.com/topic/30254/solved-video-playback-issues/7) but that is another story 😉

Oh, and I use Fedora 32, if that info would be relevant.

Kind regards 🙂
