      I managed to make this work again just by clearing the cache! It's working fine since I did it this morning

            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.
