      Hello!
      Just came back to Opera after a little hiatus.
      Unfortunately it is not behaving the way I expect. I'm on Win 11 and my desktop version of Opera is Version:88.0.4412.74 (Stable release track).

      I open a new window in opera, or I open opera from the desktop using a shortcut, and the window pops up but I can't just start typing my search details in the address bar. I have to alt-tab back and forth to get the window to gain focus or have to use the mouse to click in the address field.

      Yuck!
      Why?

      Help?
      Thanks!

        well would you look at that. I Quit opera, opened it up, it self-updated, and it now seems to be holding focus normally. Wow. That is Impressive tech support guys!

        Thanks all.

          @tedsped aND now it's tomorrow and.... Opera is again losing focus or not even opening windows in the foreground. And when it does, I can't just start typing in the address field to do a search.

          Anyone out there experiencing this? Or am I just kinda (dumb).
