      We are currently investigating this issue and looking for a fix. We will release update as soon as we resolve the problem.

      Hi, it seems I found a way to go around this just by clearing the cache!
      It's working back since I did it.

              Clearing cache doesn't fix a thing, issue still persists, update didn't fix it.

                I found out that you can open a secound empty tab and then the first one works just fine.

                      "clear all browser data" has no affect on this issue

                      Win10 x64
                      Opera 72.0.3815.211

                      my observation:
                      shortly after starting opera browser or opening a new tab it seems to work correct, bookmark-suggestions respectively search-suggestions on typing into adress-bar are shown ... but then the issue returns randomly ...

                        A workaround has been pushed from server which should have addressed this issue. This will be later followed up by client hotfix.

                                  @pc-net Not, it doesn't. Stop spreading misinformation.

                                  @gmiazga Thank you for keeping us updated. However, I hope issues like these get resolved faster. This is something that could make you lose users for good.

                                        It seems that it happens less often now, but it still happens.
