I have two minor problems with the recent PDF Viewer Update. The PDF toolbar does not hide, and I need to first click within the document before I can use the arrow keys to scroll.
Also, as someone suggested, saving a page as an MHTML file allows the file to save parts like embedded(?) tweets that do not get included when saving as a PDF. However, when saving a page as MHTML the file still has the .html extension which causes the file to be displayed incorrectly. Would it be possible to have the extension automatically written as .mhtml, instead of having to change it manually?

palx last edited byPlease consider making the browser regain focus, after you:
1)Open a new tab
2)Copy a URL from the address bar
3)When the download window appears on the right corner.I tend to use CTRL+PageUp, CTRL+PageDown primarily to move left-right on the tabs, and it is a little bit irritating to have to click without an obvious reason, anywhere on the page after those functions, for the browser to regain focus and the keyboard shortcuts to be usable again.
Also if you are playing a YouTube video and a program, like μTorrent for example, is running on the taskbar system tray but is closed as a tab, and you click on the tray icon for the program to appear and close it again, the browser never regains focus and shows a black screen after that, due to the Chromium feature to save resources. But then you have to click somewhere on the browser, for it to start showing video picture again. Thank you.

@vitormanuel: Opera's adblocker semi-works in YouTube - it blocks the ads themselves, but doesn't block the nag screen. So what you get is a partial result: a grey screen with the five-second countdown wheel, but not the ads themselves. Both uBlock Origin and AdGuard's browser extension work fine on YouTube, probably because they support a more extensive range of adblocking rules compared to Opera's built-in blocker.

@palx @dickc Did you force the Lords of Opera to formalize the bugs? E.g. through creating DNA + numbers entries in bugs database?
@andrew84 is using very polite, albeit boring method - he's repeating his "begs" until it brings fruits. Even Mordor can be persuaded to submission practicing perseverance.

Odd "bug" with latest version at Amazon. When I go to my orders page, the page shows correctly for a moment, then the lateral scroll bar jumps all the way to the right so that all that shows are the end of a few lines of text, separated vertically because they refer to different purchases. It started within the last two or three days, so I'm not 100% sure if that puts it within the timing of this build or just before.

As previous users have stated, there is obviously something going wrong after the 2-3 last updates, with Operas Dark Theme. After each of the updates, some sites I visit have gradually changed appearance.The last example I detected is on some parts of "Github", like "https://github.com/appdevsw/zoomba" for example. Just use the same link on Chrome and you will see the difference. The problem is that all other sites that have changed appearance while using Opera(for some reason it always happens first on Opera), will eventually change appearance after a while on other Chromium browsers, so the problem must be from there and not from Opera itself....

@tina Amazon in U.S. Happens w/o ad blocking and happens in private mode. Even worse than I thought, because as you can see in the main part of the page screenshot linked below there are long lines of text on my main purchases page where the "ship to" info should be. Ship To should show my name as the first line of a drop-down menu. The end of that text is seen alone in the other screenshot, what happens when the horizontal scroll jumps to the far right (or I do it manually). I haven't seen this elsewhere on Amazon's site, but I haven't intentionally looked either. It doesn't happen in Edge, Chrome or FF.

Should I file a bug report?

I don't know if this bug only happens to me, but if you are already watching YouTube on a pop-out video, and you select another one from the watch-list, then the volume bar on the video pop-out stops working.

@hectormaciasa1979 Your post seems to be the only mention of Google Floc in the Opera forums.
I came across the news on this a couple of days ago, I think it deserves its own topic - do you want to start it, or shall I do a post? -

Browser lacks a built-in translator, besides, the built-in ad blocker is weak and add-ons are not updated regularly !!

For awhile, I've often been puzzled while using Find (Ctl-F) in that some results found don't seem to show (in green) as I go through them. Then I'll go onto the next one, perhaps on the same line and showing in yellow before I get there, and that one is highlighted in green as it should be. An example I just tried where to my view it happened at lot, starting with the first result is at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=HFcoupe&ref=bl_dp_s_web_0. Do a search for "pencil."

@pavelopdev: that's why i left Opera products, you beg them to do something that you think normal/common sense to do, they say no.
It's been what 5+ years and they still don't allow custom search engines? Opera is still not user friendly as they come. And don't like their company connections and "accidental" malware push in their browser on dev.

giacomorutili last edited byWhat's happened to the Tabs shortcut in the left sidebar? It was between favourites and history. It was useful for maby reasons and for searching between smartphone open tabs as well

@artexjay I beg your pardon for this late reply.
I do understand your resentment, I have the same feelings. Common sense is not what is held in high regard on Opera turf.
For example, you may keep StartPage.com open as a pinned tab, or find a place for its page link in Speed Dial to make it handy.
Even for some websites (with their charts/images/maps) I use Links2 (no js scripts!), not Opera for Linux.
Anyway, keep smiling, but not facing Opera! Weird, but Opera works like Dementors sometimes, sucking up all joy using own PC.
