[Compilation]Discussions on Scrolling doesn't work if the mouse is on the edge of the screen

The latest version of Opera is weirdly, incredibly sensitive to stray clicks on the border of the vertical scrollbar. When clicking fast on the bar area or the down arrow -- which is pretty common during browsing -- the slightest nudge of the cursor towards the border area shoots the window into "restore" (small) size.
Have to re-maximise it, start scrolling again, and then blam! it's small again.
This has happened to me something like 20 to 50 times today. It never happened in previous versions, and it's never happened in other programs. I doubt my browsing behaviour has changed overnight.

Exactly the same problem here! It has become infuriating to browse after the new update. My browser window keeps going up and down and from one side to another as I move the mouse actively when trying to hit the frikkin scroll bar. I really, really cannot understand what went through their minds when they released this update.
Please fix this ASAP, this is making my work productivity significantly worse, and it is incredibly irritating!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I stay away from using the 'One' version as a daily browser because of continuous mess, which directly affects basic functionality.
I just have installed Developer version and Portable Stable just to be in course what's happening there.Regarding the window movement and unmaximizing issue when grabbing the scrollbar I reported multiple times in the blog when the 103 version was yet in Developer stage. But I didn't get much responses not from users and not from opera team. Only after 103 reached Stable the complaints started to appear.

Hi. I don't know what's going on. Since past weeks, often times, I can't scroll properly.
Instead of scrolling the pages just like any other app/browser, it drags my opera windows to anywhere instead. Please see screen record below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LLSDm1yRqp9cO7OH5lduRUp0hEz69U9t/view?usp=share_linkI tried to uninstall and install opera again, it still be. I try older version of opera, it still be. I'm running out of ideas by now

When using the mouse click function to scroll (not the scroll wheel) on a website, the window will change from maximized to something smaller.
-
I made my scroll bar more visible, since I don't like the very thin one.

This has only been happening since a recent update of Opera.

@rldavies I have not used the "Report" form because Opera asked me to search this forum to see if someone had identified the issue beforehand because they don't want multiple reports of the same problem. Opera seems to assume that if someone posts it here, that they have also reported it. If I don't get any indication that this problem has been reported, I will do it myself.

It is very good way to loose the customers. I suffered for more than one day and I moved to another browser.

Still broken in 104.0.4944.33
But...Opera GX works as it's supposed to, plus I like the look & feel.
I'll be using it until Opera fixes One, if ever. -

This is completely unfair. Has anyone tested this? I guess there is no solution. Is it possible to switch to another browser?

In all browsers (including Opera) and all other programs having a scroll bar, the right side of the GUI is reserved for the scroll bar. This allows the user to simply move the mouse to the far right very fast, knowing that it will land on nothing but the scroll bar. The scroll bar is on the far right side. There is nothing after it. So the user can move the mouse without checking where it is.
In the latest version of Opera, this has been disrupted. Now, there is this very thin column on the right side of the scroll bar.
This narrow interface column is totally useless and serves no purpose (other than to make the user crazy).
Now, every time the user moves the mouse to the right end of the interface, she will actually land it on that narrow column, instead of the scroll bar. And thinking that it is on the scroll bar, she will try to drag the scroll bar up or down. Now, every time she drags it (to relocate the scroll bar), it is the whole interface that gets re-positioned. Very ridiculous and counter-intuitive design. Sometimes, the webpage stops working and gets frozen by this dragging. I need to duplicate the tab and continue on the new tab.
This reminds me of the new design of Gmail, where such a narrow and ridiculous column exists after the scroll bar (on its right).

Yes, this is a known problem.
I've never had this problem because I don't use the scrollbar. I use the scroll wheel on the mouse and
Page Up
,Page Down
,Home
,End
and arrow keys. Also, clicking on the tab is the same as hitting theHome
key and hitting it again, brings it back to where you were.But the issue here is the border introduced in v100.x.x. It is an extension of the title bar for some unknown reason. You can use it to move the window, double click to maximize/restore like it happened to you and even right clicking brings the same menu. It's essentially the title bar itself disguised as a border
@leocg, please forward my suggestion to fix this bug (I don't care it was designed like this on purpose. A border shouldn't have the behaviour of the title bar and therefore this is a bug. I refuse to believe this passed through QA without protest by the testers):
When maximized, it should trigger the scrollbar
Either remove the 1px border when maximized, or make the scrollbar go under it and remove "collision" on the border, making the scrollbar under it be triggerable.
When restored it should only trigger the resizing arrows
This would actually make it work so much better. A thick border like you have would make it so much easier to find the spot for resizing. I don't know if this is possible though. The OS might get in the way of implementing this
Edit: I'm sorry for the capital letters. Tell the developer of this forum that markdown shouldn't capitalize the title tags. It even previews in the correct way during editing (I can't paste a picture of it, because this forum has its own set of bugs)
Edit²: ok, you edited it for bold. I'm fine with it. Still, please forward this issue to the forum devs
