Hi

When i want to open a second or third window in Opera... it keeps opening up a new window in a 1500 width by 800 high page...basically a big rectangle....I don't want this. I just want a simple 1500 high x 800 wide....i've latest opera and win 10..

thanks

No one does have your setup

Well, Opera seems to open new windows, sized by current one, except when base window is snapped to screen side - like your screenshot shows. This is partly caused by Windows itself - snapped window coordinates are internally different.

I would try next:

• drag your Opera main window into some other, unsnapped location
• move-resize it to correct location (do not allow Windows snap it to side)
• close-open Opera - should rememeber position
• drag-snap Opera window to right side (like on your image)
• open new window - what happens?

If all this does not help, report a bug to Opera.

Hi. Thanks for the reply..

Unfortuanetly you lost me at "windows snapping"...i have no idea what you are talking about lol.
I click on opera to open the browser. What you see is how it opens..I'm not snapping things...

Sorry, english is not my first or even second language

In windows you can drag window to side of screen and then it 'snaps' to that side of screen - looking at you screenshot seems that you have Opera 'snapped' to right half of screen. Of course this may not be so

If my ideas didn't work, then sorry - in my setup additonal Opera windows are same size that original one, just located at a bit different position - I just can't duplicate your troubles. Maybe someone other will try also?
