    How can I make Opera not open new windows in full screen when it has other windows open in full screen?

      Here's the behavior I see:

      1. have 1 or more windows in Opera open, all in full-screen
      2. command-tab from app B to Opera
      3. command-n
      4. Opera opens a new window and immediately full-screens it

      I want to be able to command-n a new window and have it not be full-screened. Is this possible?

          Hi Hamidd, thanks for asking!

          MacOS 11.6

          I just tried it with TextEdit, it does not do the same thing.

            This would be helpful for me, too. I'm interested in opening windows from a script or command line that are NOT maximized.
