So every time I'm trying to go anywhere from the express panel whether it is a link or a search request, nothing happens and the addres bar itself look like this.
I'm able to complete the action only with tapping Alt+Enter or Shift+Enter. Notheing else works. -

Recently, I have been getting a "gray text glitch" where when I type something into the search bar, the text turns gray and I cannot search up anything whether I am pressing the search button or hitting enter 23 times. The glitch always comes when I open a new tab and it doesn't go away until I reload the page. Please help and thank you.

deathcat last edited by deathcatI changed the browser as a result. The bug appeared on version 72.0.3815.186. Such bugs should have hot fixes, not a week of silence and useless updates every day with a change of numbers.

@bitrat said in Address/Search bar doesn't work, won't let me enter, grays out text, etc:
Ctrl+Enter solves the problem with manually entered URL addresses (instead of Enter)
Unfortunately the search does not work with Ctrl+Enter. Let's hope that Opera finds a solution quickly.
Corrupted version: 72.0.3815.207
I use Ctrl+Enter to turn "whatever" into "whatever.com". It's a shortcut.

If i open a new tab and i write something inside the bar, i am unable to hit the enter button...even the with the automatic search filling, it doesn't allow me to do that. If i open another tab instead, it accept it. But if i open an additional one, the writing become gray and the cursor move before the duckduckgo symbol. This issue started just from few days.
Version:72.0.3815.207

@deathcat totally agree. I think I'll wait till the end of this week and then follow your example.

Hi,
since last update, the address bar research doesn't work anymore, I just don't get any response from it, whatever I put in it. Duck and go is my default research engine and it worked perfectly fine before last engine...
Does anyone know about this issue?
Thanks -

with these replies, it appears to be a bug on the latest auto-update version of Opera for Windows 72.0.3815.207
PS there is a post that provides URL to download all older version of Opera. I intended to fall back, but it looks like auto-update forces me back to the latest.
If anyone knows how to stay on a particular version of Opera, appreciate if you share how

Opera, how many posts here do you need to fix this terrible bug?!!!???
What are you doing all this time?It is basic browser functionality - how do you do testing?

so this is how Opera looses market share... with a bug that rends address bar unusable and 5 days from the first report with no fix or official information.
p.s.
I've changed my default browser to MS Edge because I cannot function like this -
