<![CDATA[How to remove the tiny 1 pixel space above the tab bar.]]>When Opera is maximized, there seems to be a 1-pixel tall horizontal space above where the tabs are. (I've got my tabs on top, above everything else.) This is annoying as heck, because it makes it impossible to shoot your mouse quickly to the top of the screen and click a tab - you always have to land inside the height of the tab itself, instead of just overshooting and letting the top of the screen stop you.

Is there any way of removing this tiny space?

--alt-high-dpi-setting=96

Otherwise you could file bug report.

It's because I've set "Set custom text size (DPI)" of 110% in: Control panel -> Appearance & personalization -> Display -> Set custom text size (DPI) -> 110%

When I switch the text size back to: Smaller - 100% (default) I can click on the tabs in Opera 38 even when the mouse is at the topmost point on the screen.

I'm on Windows 7 and using the latest Opera 38.

Do you think this can be fixed?

Same behavior as fred1976 and meeotch666 experienced. Option switches pixel, but tabs are not clickable. Win 8.1/64bit + 1080p + 125% dpi scaling. Works fine with any other browser. Something is definitely broken.

I'm in 4K, could this be the reason?

It seems to be working here, it changes to the tab when i click there.

Btw, are you using Opera maximised? It will only works with Opera maximised.

only works with Windows 7, and not with Windows 8

Only if they have changed something regarding this because it used to work when i was using Win8 and it works on Win10.

I'm pretty sure the "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximised" in the "Advanced Settings" only works with Windows 7, and not with Windows 8 (I'm using Win 7 on my desktop and Win 8 on my laptop, that's how I found out).

It's a terrible, terrible oversight which makes Opera on Windows 8 near useless for me.

The "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximised" option toggles between a visual space and no (or super tiny) visual space, but neither On nor Off results in being able to click at the top of the screen.

Going to revert to a previous version again.

It visually switches between a tiny space and what appears to be no space, but the tabs are non-responsive (and don't highlight when hovered) if the mouse is at the very top of the screen in either case.

The only other program I have installed with tabs at the top like that is firefox, which does not exhibit this behavior.

Opera was never like this before.

Opera 12 had the same one pixel space by default.

You had to manually set opera:config#UserPrefs|ChromeIntegrationDragAreaMaximized to 0.

The option was even missing from Opera 15 until it was finally brought back with Opera 19.

Go to settings and enable "advanced settings" at the bottom if it's not already enabled.
Above it there should now be an option "Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximised".
Checking that should fix it!
