      @xzabuzax Usually after maximizing page becomes unresponsive if you first do scrolling using mouse wheel. If you first click somewhere and only then scroll, then page stays responsive. Try it.

      @xzabuzax said in Can't scroll if mouse is on corner of screen:

      I don't have to restart the browser, I just need to close the window

      Yes, sure. But if only one window is opened, then closing and opening window = opening the browser again.

        @andrew84 After doing the process and maximizing the page, if I use the mouse wheel first it indeed becomes unresponsive, using the mouse wheel is causing the issue you described alright and I can confirm this.

        I meant to say tabs instead of window, once it becomes unresponsive I don't have to close Opera nor restart it, I only need to close the unresponsive tab and that's it, the other tabs are still working fine when this happens, it's weird that you need to restart Opera when this happens though so something else must be happening in your end. I do have Tab Island disabled, don't know if that has something to do with it, try disabling it if you have it enabled and see if you still need to close Opera when the issue happens.

          @xzabuzax Ok, you're right as it seems.
          I think the problem was that I don't use the One version daily and currently I keep it installed only to check if the basic functionality is restored, acceptable and comparable with the pre One version.

          So I mainly tested it with empty duplicated (+new tab) speed dial tabs. In this case if I have 3 speed dials tab for example, all the three tabs will be unresponsive after the above described procedure (the issue not only refers to the scrollbar grabbing, the window is also grabbable without the scrollbar if the cursor is on the right edge of the screen). And even if I close all the 3 tabs, all the next new tabs I create will be unresponsive.

          @xzabuzax said in Can't scroll if mouse is on corner of screen:

          I do have Tab Island disabled

          Btw, you can't disable TabIsland feature completely, you can only disable 'Automatically create tab islands'. And this some different option. https://forums.opera.com/post/320958

            My mouse pointer tends to go outside the browser on the right side so I tend to miss the scrollbar almost every time and end up minimizing the browser. It is pretty annoying. Currently on version 103.0.4928.16.![alt text](image url)

              Yes yes yes, me too... this really sucks... Opera please fix

              Ya know, there are so many simple silly bugs with Opera One... it's as if Opera hasn't had 20+ years of browser coding experience. Is Opera owned and coded now by neophytes?

                Sometimes when I try to drag the scrollbar thumb, it instead resizes the window as if I clicked the restore button in the titlebar. I have no idea what causes this behavior. It doesn't happen every time I try to scroll, so I have no idea how to replicate it.

                  Oh, finally there are enough feedback regarding the issue. I reported it many times in Developer threads, but no reaction. And as a result the bug in Stable.
                  There's another issue happens after maximizing the window back - web page becomes fully unresponsive if you use mouse wheel first.

                  And this is confirmed in other topic

                      @asizov to reproduce the issue you have to move cursor maximally to the right or left edge and then drag.

                          Dragging the vertical scroll bar from the far right in full screen moves and resizes the Opera window. Is very annoying.

                              Hi,

                              Does anyone have the same issue, which is the scrolling completely doing weird stuff all the time when clicked and used?

                              Looks like it came since I updated my Opera browser, and it is very infuriating:

                              When I click on the scrolling bar and then proceed to use my pad while clicking on it, so I can slide it up or down, 3 out of 4 times it won't do as intented, but it will act as if I had grabbed the whole opera window (which is taking the whole screen, but not as in full screen mode) and move it as a whole, instead of just the scrolling bar. Most of the time, it not only does that whole "grab window" sketch, but it also immediately divides my windows by half as soon as I mouve the cursor with my keypad while clicking on the scrolling bar, the opera browser window now occupy only the right half of the screen, as if I had pressed the windows shortkeys for that function ( winkey + right/left arrow).

                              I don't seem to have this problem on other browsers, and I don't have any update yet to make on Opera, I also tried without any add-on activated, but obviously nothing worked.

                              So, any idea, am I the only one? Is it a known issue?

                              Thanks for your attention

                                @dwight101 Same observation here, it's painful, the problem is that the scroll bar is not at the edge of the opera window like other browsers, there is an surround of the opera window, it's since Opera One that it appeared (thanks One) I have not found a technical solution, the only thing to do is to click on the scroll bar and not on the edge of the screen ( I hate that , it's slow and I am not used to it )

                                      I just love the design so I didn't want to go back to older versions so. I came up with a personal solution 2/3 months ago since I saw the issue...
                                      The trick is simple...
                                      If you can code in python or other macros creating software just lock or return the mouse to screen position, add a condition where this only applies to opera.

                                      You can also try my compiled code my google drive
                                      Just extract the 2 files to your opera installation folder cause the software will look for the opera launcher exe
                                      Then link the shortcut to start or taskbar then run

                                            I am having similar issue, and it's beyond annoying. Every time I try to use the scroll bar, it resizes and moves the window. Then when I hit the maximize button, instead of going back to full size, it moves the resized window to another location. So I have to hit the maximize button twice to get full size back. Just to repeat the process again when I attempt to scroll again. This started today when Opera updated to 103.0.4928.34. Never had this issue before.
