      OK, here's the second minor issue:

      Also, how are we supposed to move open windows? I can't grab anywhere but at the right end of the window toolbar, which doesn't always work, once part of the window is to the right of the screen already. Why can't we grab from the left end?

      Also on an iMac with OS 11.7.1 and the latest Opera version.

        I see there's been no response from Opera, but this is definitely a problem. Can't grab a window from the left, and when you have multiple tabs, there's just a tiny space to move a window -- otherwise, you're just moving tabs around. It's perplexing and somewhat infuriating. I may report as a bug so that a response might take place.

          You can find this in settings: Disable the top offset of the sheet bar when the browser window is maximized. When it is disabled you can grab the opera window from the top.

            @filip8650 I looked through the settings, have no idea where that option is found. Can you be more specific, under what heading would I find it? Thanks...

              It is located in the user interface. I have it in Czech, but I hope you can find something similar in the English version as well. Also, I don't know how it's called in English "Disable top sheet indentation when browser window is maximized", that's just my translation.

                This is indeed a regression issue. I'm now on version 96 and there is no way to grab the window when it's maximized.

                I know about the space above the tabs setting but that's not acceptable for me because you really want to have the tabs all the way to the top.
                When I want to switch to another tab I just "throw" the mouse all the way to the top of the screen and just make sure I move left/right accordingly, I don't also want to worry about how high to place the mouse.

                I say this is a regression because not long ago there was a bit of empty space between the last tab and the buttons on the right side of the window title (the + sign for new tab, the magnifier button for searching tabs and the standard minimize/restore/close). You were able to grab the window by using that empty space. Now that space is gone and the last tab is right besides the "+" icon so you can't grab it anymore.

                To be able to move the window using the mouse you now need to press the "restore" button (between minimize and close). then the window usually resizes to a smaller size and then the space above the tabs becomes visible and you can grab it from there.

                  It's listed as fixed in Opera 96:

                    @leocg Is that for Mac only I wonder? I am on the latest 96 on Windowsand still there's no space after the last tab.

                    I hope it's visible in this screenshot:

                      @glacatus Yes, this is Opera for Mac section and that's why the fix was mentioned here.
