@leocg What do you mean never had such behavior? That's how it's been for years or even always. Only since the last few days when my Opera updated to this "Opera One" thing has it started to automatically open a new tab when i try closing the last one and it is very annoying. If the window only has one tab and i click on the X or ctrl-w the whole browser window should close, like IT ALWAYS HAS, but now it's suddenly not which is the sole reason i'm now here on the forum

@leocg idk why my other post would need approval to be posted lol but anyways i don't care anymore
Opera on my laptop is on v101 and it's working like always there, my desktop was on v102 and wouldn't close the window when closing the last tab. I went to opera:about to check what versions my laptop and desktop were on and then Opera on my desktop automatically downloaded v103 and now the window closes when i close the last tab again just like it should so yea my problem is solved -

@marcus012029383847 Strange, Opera isn't supposed to close the window when you close a tab. Maybe there's an add-on though.

When Opera has more than one window open, closing the last tab in a window should close the window. This has been broken for a while now, but it's working fine again in Opera 103.0.4928.16.

@burnout426 Yea i have two permanent windows with a combined 80ish tabs on my desktop and a permanent window with 50ish tabs on my laptop that i never close. So i don't really care about the behavior of closing the last tab on the last window because that's a scenario that i'm never even in anyways.
But i often open an/a few additional temporary windows and or incognito windows, and I've always just closed them by getting rid of the tabs. But for the last few days that wasn't working on my desktop and it's been really annoying.
After i posted my first message here i checked opera:about on both my desktop and laptop and noticed that my laptop was on v101 (working) and my desktop on v102 (not working), and then when i got back to my desktop from checking the laptop, the desktop had downloaded v103. So i clicked install and then it was back to working like normal againBtw why has mouse gestures been absolute trash for probably like 2+ years now?
I've been using Operas mouse gestures back since Presto and then i really missed them when Opera switched to Chromium, but then luckily they were added back after a while and I've been using them again ever since. But for a very long time now, probably at least 2-3 years, they've not been working properly. Very often it's like Opera thinks i let go of right mouse key before i do so it performs another action than the gesture i intended to make. And also sometimes after i make a gesture and release right mouse key it just opens the right click menu instead of performing the mouse gesture action as if all i did was a normal right click -

Yes for me the issue (or intended behavior as some say)started when I updated to "Opera One" (version which has a loud welcome sound when browser starts)
Before that for a good period of time even only one browser windows was closing with last tab closed. I was rly surpised that noone experienced this, but looks like I am no longer the only one in this topic who is missing that behavior.
Maybe it was some bug with "invisible window" opened previously and my main window was closed as second browser window etc... Anyway I would like to have a setting in Opera to close browser window with closing last tab. Please let me know if there is some special form to submit to developers this kind of suggestion / feature request

@lenn1 You can disable that inexplicably dumb startup thing that probably no one wants in opera:flags
Search for "Opera One introduction"I agree that there should be the option to always close the window when closing the last tab, it's literally standard browser behavior. The only reason to not at least have that as an option/setting somewhere if you're gonna insist on not closing the browser by default is petty stubbornness.
