      @Mishakedr 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.
