@burnout426 Thanks for the rollback link. I chose the 'copy' method vs the uninstall / reinstall. I just killed the Opera process in Task Mgr, copied the '96.' rev to a new folder, deleted the contents of the 96 folder, copied the contents of the '95' rev into the 96, starting Opera and no more randomly sliding tab bullshit!

If window has many tabs, then not active tabs are smaller then active tab. And when you change active tab to another, old tab becomes small, and new active tab becomes wide.
Today I upgraded opera, and it became so that when I click on a tab, it looks like it instantly switches to drag and drop mode so if old tab is placed somewhere on the left from new active tab, then because of changing sizes of tabs, the active tab moves a few tabs to the right.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open 200 tabs
2. Select the most left tab
3. Then click on the tab to the right
   Expected behavior: the last clicked tab did not change position relative to other tabs
   Actual behavior: the last clicked tab changed position relative to other tabs and moved several tabs to the right (depends of small tabs size)
   I didn't upgrade Opera for more than 30 days, and in previous version there was no such problem. This is reproduced and with tabs scrolling enabled and with tab scrolling disabled.
   Version of Opera: 96.0.4693.31
   Version of Windows: Windows 10 Home 21H2 build 19044.2130

Having the same issue. Tabs jumping right if I click on them. Rarely happens when using keyboard shortcuts to move between tabs.

Can't do the rollback method though because Opera becomes painly slow and memory exhaustive when an update is pending -- no doubt intentional. Windows 10 4K video editing rig. Kill the process or apply the update and the browser is snappy again, same tabs before and after (I reload them all because I use them all).

So, need a fix for this tab-jumping BS. Kind of an embarrassing bug to introduce in 2023 to a stable browser. Especially if it was reported in dev as one poster said.

Maybe you should split the 200 tabs between more than one Opera window?

Hello,

I am encountering a problem related to my tabs.
When I select a tab which is after the one currently selected, the new selected one decide to move through forward, after 1-2-3 other next tabs.
It disorder all of my tabs, it is really annoying, do someone has the same problem ?
Could y'all help me solving this problem ?

TABs jump left or right. Happens to opera Dev, Opera regular version, every computer. I think it has to do with some scripting because it happens to most tabs very often but not all. Especially when several tabs open.

When user clicks on an inactive tab, the tab is activated and dragged right, if previously active tab was to the left from current.

This bug depends on Opera window width. For example on 1920px bug appear when 42 tabs are opened, and disappear if user reduces quantity of tabs to 41. However resizing Opera window to 500px width (minimum size) revives the bug instantly on 6 tabs opened, and reducing to 5 tabs (or less) makes tabs work well.
