@leocg Oh, you friggin' lifesaver. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but this'll definitely do in the meantime!

I am using opera gx. In the past, when I clicked on the top of the window with the mouse wheel, it would open a new tab, but I can't open it anymore, how can I activate this setting again?

@burhanseeen Known issue. For now you can enable opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip to get it back.

Here's some useful steps that helped me get this feauture back:
- Open: opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip in a new tab;
- Go to where it says "Scrollable tab strip";
- On the drop down menu to the right of it, click "enabled";
- Hit the "reload button on the bottom right or if it doesn't show itself, RESTART your computer;
- Fire up OperaGX, try it out and see if it works.
Enjoy your feature again like before!

Windows 10 [latest update]
Opera GX LVL 4 (core: 96.0.4693.104)The problem is quite simple. Before the update, I could open and close tabs with my scroll wheel (to close it, need to click the wheel on the tab; to open a new one - click on a free space [screenshot]).
It was so convenient and easy that now I just bing sadge
Idk if that really was a feature and now is deleted, but I lost it and want to get it back

@leocg Thank you for this temporal fix, though based on time it takes them to fix it it's not so temporal, I guess, haha. Anyway I can't see any disadvantages for using it so thanks again.

It's still quite annoying the fact I cannot middle click to add a tab when there is no space on the tab bar

Hey all
I've been using Opera GX for quite a while now and I've gotten really used to clicking my mousewheel on the tab-bar to open new tabs.
Now since the last update, this feature doesn't work anymore for me. Is there a reason for that? Can I fix it somehow, because I didn't find anything in the settings regarding it being able to be switched on or off?Thanks in advance
