      Still works in Opera 25.

        Just tried a clean install of Opera 25 (removed all other versions first), and it's still giving the broken behavior. 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.

            Working fine here. Are you still using version 25?

                    Hi there,
                    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.

                        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.

                          Hello,

                          Windows 10 latest version (Nov 2015)

                          Opera 33

                          Doesn't work 😞

                          I see the pixel disappear, but nothing happens when I click the top of the screen, has to be a bit lower

                          Very annoying!

                          Opera people, please fix it!

                            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.

                                By maximising, you just mean the regular button on the left of the "close" one?

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

                                  Doesnt work here too on latest dev. 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.

                                    Hi, I think I found out why some users (including myself) aren't able to click on the tabs because of the 1pixel space even when the option "Disable tab bar's top spacing" is checked.

                                    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?

                                      You can run Opera at 96dpi (100% text size), using next command-line option, maybe this fixes problem for you:

                                      --alt-high-dpi-setting=96

                                      Otherwise you could file bug report.
