        Someone( @WhatThaFrank ) on this forum suggested this FIX, and it works:

        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!

            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.
