<![CDATA[Click twice to close tabs - sometimes]]>Recently Opera has started to require two clicks (or two presses of cmd-w) to close a tab. It does not happen all the time and I have yet to find a pattern, but it seems that a restart of opera fixes it for some time.
The clicks does not have to be immediately after one another I can for instance click close on a tab and goto another tab and the return and be able to click once more and then the first tab closes.

Anyone else with that problem?

Opera version: 73.0.3856.344

With the Workspaces extension it seems to work fine.

The only way to solve this is to restart Opera (sometimes multiple times a day...).

You won't want to hear it, but I solved this problem another way (for exactly that reason): switched to Vivaldi

It's obviously off-topic for this forum, but frankly if the Opera developers don't care to investigate and fix the bug, I have limited patience to continue using their browser over the multitude of others!

Same problem here for many months and updates.
I usually occurs after having downloaded a file.
Right click does not work anymore, have to click twice to close a tab and quitting Opera only possible with a Force Quit.

Very very annoying!

No other browser has it. But this bug is so serious, that I cannot work. It started with some actualization, don't know when. So I must leave. I'm mac user and it's difficult to find good browser with good UI and functions. Good luck too 🙂

It is an eternal hunt for the best browser 🙂

How long have you been trouble-free since doing that? The intermittent nature of the bug makes it hard to know for sure if it's cured or just taking a break...

I've just disabled the mentioned option and will try to report back with my results.

I also faced the problem but updating to the new version 88.0.4412.53 fixed it for me. 🙂

Sadly it's still broken even on 89.0.4447.38 (about to update to 89.0.4447.48 but I'm not holding my breath...)

Opera GX 88.0.4412.75. By me this doesn't only affect X'ing out tabs and using Ctrl+W, but also the Ctrl+T. Painful to operate with tabs.
