      @darthgtb said in [Compilation]Discussions on Scrolling doesn't work if the mouse is on the edge of the screen:

      Edge also has a very similar border

      At least Edge allows to disable the bordered design currently by turning off the 'Try the new look and feel of Microsoft Edge' toggle in Settings.

        @andrew84 I didn't know that. That wording to me implies that's a temporary setting though. How long it will be a "new" look and feel? Seems to me they will make that permanent in the future (or a design choice feature like "compact" design being without a border).

        I honestly don't hate it, although these borders look sort of out of place, like they trying to mimic designs from 2010's in a more modernised, flat way

            Not so critical when watching light website using browser's light theme or dark website using browser's dark them.
            But when watching dark website using browser's light theme I really hate the border.

              Yet another upgrade to 104.0.4944.36 and still not fixed. This seems to a major issue to me that needs fixed ASAP. Even knowing about it, I still move the window when trying to scroll most of the time. I guess it's time for a new browser, cause this just sucks.

                @andrew84 I think it doesn't bother me because I use dark mode on Windows as well as on Opera and have dark wallpaper. But if you use dark taskbar with light theme on Opera, I can see how that can be distracting on a dark looking website

                  Yep new update and this annoying bug is still there.. I mean it just proves these devs aren't reading any feedback (or simply don't give a damn). -.-

                    I just went back to 102 and turned off the auto update.

                      Problem
                      Borders of Opera in maximized mode (left, right and down) interferes with site's scroll bar while trying to drag scroll bar down or up.
                      Compared with other browsers that contain borders similar to Opera, however their borders are not interfere with scroll bar.

                      You should fix border by preventing to drag Opera windows in maximized mode especially sites that contain scroll bar, only top bar allowed as same as other browser UI/UX.

                      To reproduce

                      1. Open Opera in maximized mode.
                      2. Surf any sites while length of contents long enough until scrolling bar appeared, e.g. Opera Forum, Wikipedia, etc.
                      3. Move your mouse pointer to edge of Opera browser either left or right, as you intend to scroll down or up to read more contents in the site.
                      4. Do step 3. again and again as needed.
                      5. You will find that sometimes you accidentally drag Opera (maximized mode) even though you just want to scroll the site down or up.

                      Environment
                      Opera One (version: 104.0.4944.36)
                      Update stream: Stable
                      System: Windows 10 64-bit
                      Chromium version: 118.0.5993.118

                        104.0.4944.36 still dragging the very right edge drags the whole browser instead of the scrollbar. Why don't they fix this problem?

                          Puzzling, to say the least. The "side scroll bar shrinking the main browser window if grabbed even slightly wrong" issue persists after the most recent Opera One update. Any thoughts?

                            I've encountered a usability problem in the Opera browser for computers. With recent updates, the scroll bar on the right side has become thinner and doesn't extend to the border of the screen. This makes it challenging to click and scroll seamlessly. Previously, I could move the mouse to the right side of the screen to click the scroll bar and move down. I request bringing back the old scroll bar design for improved user-friendliness.

                              When will the scrolling wheel problem be fixed?
                              How can I roll back to an Opera version where it does work?

                                    @krit86 still happens on other OSs (tested only on Ubuntu, though) and when it's a restored window on Windows

                                      I've been a longtime Opera user and I love the browser.
                                      The scrolling bar costs me time and aggravation now. Constantly having to adjust it because instead of scrolling, it minimizes. I hate it. It's twitchy.

                                      Please change that back. It's terrible and I give it a week and then I'm off to Firefox.

                                        @acts432 Suspect Microsoft?
                                        I use two Browsers, Edge for email and Facebook, Opera for news, video, most everything else.
                                        Suspect Windows 10 now (was once OK a short time before) but not now to get mouse back I have to go back to the other browser, move mouse on it and will for a short while go back to normal, getting pointer/ mouse scrolling back, but very annoying!

                                            @sindhuagarwal I've experienced the same problem. Lately (last few weeks) I've had less of a problem but for a while I was having to resize the window to scroll.
