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

        My browser no longer does this. I didn't change anything, it just randomly fixed itself. The dropdown menu only appears when i begin typing, but I'm now able to drag urls to the bookmark menu uninhibited.

          @matt561898498 My "Opera gx" keeps doing it... the only solution is to delete the last searches by clicking on the "X" button that appears over each suggestion when you hover the mouse pointer over it, but I'm a bit fed up with it.

            The icon is available in Opera Stable now too.

              Ignore my previous post. The problem has returned. It only temporarily fixed itself for some unknown reason. It even happens on my wife's computer! But doesn't happen on my Microsoft Surface Pro 7 (for now)

                @matt561898498 I like Opera GX, but if it continues like this, I'll have to consider changing browser! because I'm fed up with that drop-down crap and having to delete with the "X" every search... I still can't disable it, and no developer deigns to answer here!

                          @scholle1309 There's still a remain instance of this bug where if you type in the address field to trigger the drop-down, initiating a drag doesn't close the drop-down. 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?
