@akasudesu I guess you are probably reaching that little space between the page and the sidebar.

Good observation Sherlock Holmes.

@leocg there is no sidebar, I turned that off already

@akasudesu Sidebar was just a reference.

@leocg Oh, anyway, this behavior doesn't happen in the old Opera or Opera GX. It only happens in Opera One.

@akasudesu Because they don't have that gap on the edges.

@leocg Any reason why there is a gap on both left and right side of the "new" Opera? This honestly feels like a bad design in exchange for those curved edges that no one actually cared.

@akasudesu I guess the idea is to separate the modules.

And I like the new design.

What module is to the right of the scrollbar?

@vegelund I was referring to the one on the left of it.

@vegelund said in Scrolling does not work when cursor is on the left/right edge of a webpage:

What module is to the right of the scrollbar?

That's simple. Following their 'genius' design the whole web page content window is a module, so it's separated like other modules using the rounded corner border.

@leocg The main content module to the left of the scrollbar does not create any problems for the issue we are talking about.

I've reported this issue to the Opera team and I think you guys should too. Top left menu > Help > Report an issue.

@leocg is just a moderator watching this forum and venting your frustration on him won't solve anything.

@akasudesu the problem here is that the border is by design.
So solution here is to remove the border completely.
But if they'll remove the border, it'll break the idea of the modular design with its rounded corners. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have doubts that they'll qualify the existing problem as an issue or bug.

@leocg I like the new design, too, but it ruins absolutely all user habits. I'm sure everyone on the planet just moves the cursor to the right during a quick scroll, without having to move it a millimeter to the left afterwards.

@clayem Well, I don't do that. I just use the scroll button and don't really care where the cursor is.
And for me it's the normal behavior.

@clayem I don't. I move it to the absolute left. The issue remains the same though.

How do you move quickly down long pages?

Sometimes I use mouse's middle click to quickly scroll, but this doesn't excuse the ill-conceived design.

@vegelund I have an MX Master with a magnetic freespin mouse wheel.
Basically I fling the wheel and it keeps going for tens/hundreds of lines.

When I don't have my mouse, I use the technique that @andrew84 mentioned before.
