      Whenever i press space, it scrolls down on whatever tab I am on, this is annoying as I watch
      a lot of youtube and this makes it hard to pause videos, I have also checked the keybind settings, with manually looking or searching not helping me find a way to disable it.

          Space is supposed to do that on pages. Chrome and Firefox do it too. However, on Youtube, the page, once it loads, overrides space to be play/pause. This seems to work fine for me in regular Opera and Opera GX on Windows 11 22H2. If I hit space right away as the page is still loading it might scroll down if the page's override hasn't executed yet, but it seems to work fine for me.

          However, quite a few users are reporting this same issue. Not sure if it's some extension or Opera's adblocker or if it only happens when you're logged into Youtube.

            @burnout426 well, I do have one extension other than the built in ones,
            I also have Opera Ad Blocker enabled + I am logged on to YouTube.

              @warfex-12 I tested logged in to Youtube and with Opera's adblocking and tracking protection turned on. Still can't reproduce, so I'm guessing there's something else that triggers it.

                @burnout426 I only noticed this about 2 days ago, the extensions etc. were all active way before I noticed this.

                    Do you get the issue in a test standalone installation?
