But on Arch in Chromium 122.0.6261.39-1 it seems to work.

So maybe when opera upgradest to at least this chromium version things will be ok (Hope so)

I try it now and then, but it's mot worth the struggle to fix the various issues arising. (way easier to use X11 with zero issues).

openSuse Tumbleweed, using KDE Plasma (with X11), Opera 104.0.4944.23, Stable, Flatpak, Chromium 118.0.5993.89. (and use FF, Chrome, Brave).

(disclaimer: software engineer of over 35 years, c/ c++/ java /web dev, published author of four books, now retired). And yea, I know, folks will dispute my opinion 🙂

The bug fix was fairly recent.

All we need to do is make sure that the window correctly reports the name of the .desktop file to the compositor. Currently, Opera doesn't report the desktopFileName property.

For example, Chromium and Brave report it correctly.

How to ping Opera developers?
