      When I try to search something on google, I type it in the address field and hit enter. Nothing happens but a rotating circle in the tab area and the reload button is replaced with a X.

      This is not happening when I try to do same in a private window

          Try starting with a clean profile and see if it works there:

          opera-developer --user-data-dir=/tmp/opera_test_profile &
          

          If this works then it is something about your profile that is messed up. My first thought would be extensions. If you have any installed try disabling them.

            I tried to start a cleean profile, and it looks like it solved the google from address bar. However, I have tried to disable all extensions in my old profile, and the issue is still present.

            edit:

            Think I concluded to early. Tried to disable all extensions and it looks like it actually work. So I guess I have to work out what extensions causing this? 🙂

              Yep, that's pretty much what you will have to do.

              You could start by enabling each extension one at a time, disabling the previous one before enabling the next one. That should help narrow it down to the one causing the problem.
