@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.

@leocg Then they should get rid of the one people seem to hate.

@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.

Bump because this is still not fixed and is still very annoying.

nearly one year later, the close button is still the "new" sense. I think Opera developer maybe facing more important thing. Or they still can't find how to fix this.

Is there a roadmap or status for this? Having an offset close button is a bug, no other application has this.

Is this a design choice? I don't get it. It's been so long.
