      By the way, I was happy to find out that there was a fix to ending "Tab Previews" by unchecking the (Show Tabs From The Same Domain in Tab Tooltip) with the latest Opera Update 85.0.4341.47
      However, There is now a problem with the Workspace folders. I have 9 folders and now it seems that whenever I exit out of Opera, all tabs are now moved to the default "Home" folder. I've had to move each one back to the designated folder, but had the same results each time and I've also tried creating a new folder, but that hasn't helped either.
      So, Is there a simple fix with this issue or will I just have to hope it will be resolved with the next update?

        @drmcquaig What would be workspaces folders?

        How are you closing Opera? Couldn't reproduce the issue here, the tabs were kept in their respective workspaces when Opera was reopened.

          @leocg I do not seem to be having the same luck. I have 9 workplace folders that I have saved different tabs to (ie. Food, Auto, Gardening, Health, etc.) and never had any issues with tabs moving on their own to the "Home" default tab before. It only happens when I exit out of Opera either by "X"ing out from the top right browser or by using the "Exit" from the dropdown menu button and then try returning the next time I open the browser. Like I said, it only started happening since the new update.

            @leocg I just thought I would try it again "for the heck of it" to see if anything changed, but with no luck!
            I just opened a random webpage, pinned it and then moved it to a different "workplace folder". I then used the dropdown menu to exit the Opera browser and when I returned, it was no longer in the "workplace folder" but was moved back to the default "Home folder" or "Home tab".

              @drmcquaig What do you call workspace folders? There is no such thing in Opera, there are simply just workspaces.

              If you are using more than one workspace and want to keep the windows and tabs in all of them, you can only close Opera by going to menu > exit or using a shortcut associated to it.

              If you use the X button on the top right, you will just close that window and the workspace when there are no more windows in it.

              Anyway, did you you try with extensions disabled and with a clean profile as the instructions say?

                @leocg By the way, if you have it enabled, your "Workspace Folders" aka "Pockets" would be in your "Sidebar" to your left. If you right click on the first one labeled "Workspace 1", you'll see the option to "Manage Workspaces" and then you would go to either editing the folder name and/or create more labels for your "Workspace Pockets" along with giving them icons to recognize them by, otherwise they default to Workspace 1, Workspace 2, etc.

                So, my original complaint was that my "Pinned Tabs" are not staying in the workspace that I moved them to.

                  @leocg Workspace Pockets or Folders, whatever you want to call them! Anyway, I've had workspace through many Opera Updates and never had any issues with them until now, so if it's just easier to stop using Workspace since I can not depend on it working correctly, then fine I'll do without it!

                    @drmcquaig Those are the workspaces themselves. Or the shortcuts to enter them
