      @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

        On my previous computers when using Opera GX I used to open new tabs using the mouse wheel button in an empty space of the tabs but since I installed it on a new computer it doesn't allow me to do this anymore, is there a way to enable it again?

            Here's some useful steps that helped me get this feauture back:

            1. Open: opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip in a new tab;
            2. Go to where it says "Scrollable tab strip";
            3. On the drop down menu to the right of it, click "enabled";
            4. Hit the "reload button on the bottom right or if it doesn't show itself, RESTART your computer;
            5. Fire up OperaGX, try it out and see if it works.

            Enjoy your feature again like before!

                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 🙂

                        i have found that i cannot open new tabs with my mouse wheel.
                        I used to be able to click my mouse wheel next to an open tab and a new tab would open. This is no longer possible.
                        Is this the same for you? or have I just changed something in the settings and am too stupid to reset it?
                        I hope you can help me

                            So, i figured out how to solve this

                            1. type in your url this opera://flags
                            2. then you type on the search bar for Scrollable tab strip and enable it
                            3. be happy again

                              can someone close this forum since it had been solved? no point in keeping it open for discussion and confusing people

                                          Once you've got 8-10 tabs open, you run out of empty space. Same issue with Opera One.
                                          I'd love to switch back to either Opera GX or Opera One, but this is a dealbreaker, I've used this feature since Opera 9 during the days it used the Presto Engine instead of Chromium.
