        @andrew84 How can we cancel the "modular design" ?
        Because the close button is annoying in this version

          @zainalabideen You can only continue hoping they pay attention and fix the issue by extending the active area of the buttons block.

              It feels like people who develop Opera don't use Opera in their daily lives.

                Also clicking dragging the scroll bar whe it is maximized, most of the time causes all sorts of weird visual issues and detaches and resized the window losing sync of it's state, then I have to click few times on the maximize button. Extremely annoying

                    Dear Opera Team, 2 points we want to inform -
                    (1) we are power users and we have habbit of moving the mouse to the right-extreme corner to close Opera, but due to new design, now we have to move the mouse pointer exactly on the "Close X" button, which is very irritating

                    (2) Same is the issue while "Mouse Scrolling" by keeping the mouse pointer in entire "Left side" panel (entire top to bottom part). In many websites we cant scroll by keeping mouse on center of the web page bcoz the design of web-page, so we have to move the mouse to left panel and scroll, but again due to the new design, now we are not able to scroll.

                    Please remove the unnecessary space on all corners; it does not make much sense to use buzz words like "Modular Design" if users are not happy with such basic features missing

                      @jas12 Note to Opera team: this misbehavior may not occur in 96dpi mode (Windows scaling 100%), but in 120+dpi (125+%) it is quite nasty.

                        I don't know why you did it, but a quick flick up to the corner of the screen to close an app no longer applied in Opera, you changed the style... now it's highly annoying to close, I think every other app I've ever used since the 90's I've closed in a similar way on Windows, it's making me want to go back to Firefox, well I actually use Edge as my main browser, but I was simply using Opera to avoid using Youtube on Firefox, anyway... If it's at all possible to let me know how to remove the rounded off X close button in the top right hand corner this would be a boon... otherwise it's got to go.

                              Now i think that this is a useful feature bcoz sometimes Power Users like me can end up closing Opera Browser in quick mouse movements. But i feel that users should be given an option of whether they want a New Modular Layout or want to continue with Old Layout

                                @jas12 Opera will not keep developing and maintaining two different UIs, the costs would be high for the eventual benefits.

                                    @kevin-cherry Absolutely correct reply. "Modular Design" seems a fancy new word, but is very irritating even for basic tasks

                                      @leocg Also, I want you to look at Every Other Browser and tell me if this behavior is present in any of them. I just double checked Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (the ones most people use) and none of them have this behavior. Hell, look at any other software and tell me if any of them do this. If your software is the only one with this behavior, then by definition this is not going to be expected by the end user which will lead to confusion and frustration, which leads to user Unfriendly design. A user shouldn't have to retrain their muscle memory for this One application that wants to be different from everyone else.

                                        @kevin-cherry You know what makes this even funnier? This problem does not exist in Opera GX... You know that one problem we had about moving the whole window when using the scroll bar... That was not there either.

                                          @devilsummoner Then you realized that Opera GX has a different UI.

                                            @devilsummoner By the way, the issue with whole Opera windows being moving when using the scroll bar was already fixed, at least on Windows.
