<![CDATA[I can't drag links from the address bar or search... (A dropdown covers the bookmarks bar)]]>Hi from Spain! please can someone help me? i don't know the reason, but before i could drag the "URL" from the search box (or addresses) to the bookmarks bar, now when i click on the bar, the last 4 searches are displayed, this tab was not active before! now it covers the bookmarks and makes it impossible to drag the url link to the bookmarks bar!.... i don't understand why this happens, it didn't happen before, is there an option to return to its previous state? i want to disable this tab with last searches but i can't find options that correspond to its disabling!!! help! please!

The current fix is only for where focus the address field automatically opens the drop-down because you previously searched in the address field.

Could you explain the specific way you're able to still trigger this issue?

As said, the gear icon in the drop-down is only available in Opera Developer so far.

The icon is available in Opera Stable now too.

The dropdown menu only appears when i begin typing, but I'm now able to drag urls to the bookmark menu uninhibited.

If you click it, you can click "Disable suggestions before typing" to get rid of this issue.

You could click the x for each recent search in the drop-down till there are no more. Then, the drop-down won't show when you click the address field.

For now, you can drag the badge at the left of the address filed (the padlock usually) to bookmark the page. You can also drag the tab itself to the bookmarks bar (when there's more than one tab opened in a window).

Ok what about the original point of the thread? I have folders within folders within folders organised, I used to be able to simply drag a link to whichever folder I desire with only 1 finger and 1 action. Now I have to perform multiple actions to do the same thing.

It only recently started happening about a month ago. I disabled everything here: "opera://flags/#enhanced-address-bar" and it still happens! There's No Way to get that damn bar to go away once you hold onto the link. The only way to add it as a bookmark is to copy it then right click the bookmarks bar then create a new bookmark that way.
Hello devs??
