      Yes like that video. But my cursor does not "leave" the tab like on your video.

      Okay. I uploaded that video to the bug too. And, the bug has a link to this forum thread. It's something at least.

        For awhile now, I've noticed a little odd "tab" behavior. When I mouse-over a tab, to close it, there's no little "x" to click. I have to slid the mouse pointer over to an adjacent tab, then slide back, for it to appear.

        Not a big deal, but still odd. Anyone else seeing this?

              This bug has been present for over 6 months now. It's very frustrating - the "x" to close a tab doesn't consistently appear when hovering. It's hard to duplicate, but when it happens, it's hard to make it stop.

              Please fix. In fact, I see no advantage to getting fancy by making it appear only when hovering - just leave it there all the time.

                @leocg this happens to me all the time - I think it mostly happens when the mouse enters the tabs space from underneath it, not sure what further conditions must be met but it fixes itself when the mouse leaves and reenters most of the time - I go to the right and back since that works more often than down and back.

                This bug is very annoying and for quite some time now, should be fixed asap.

                  Disable Animations:

                  Go to Settings (you can access this by typing opera://settings in the address bar).
                  Scroll down to the "Browser" section or search for "User interface animations".
                  Disable "User interface animations." This might reduce any lag or delay that causes the issue.

                    Does not help at all.

                        @e29 This is not a solution.

                          It's almost a year later and still not fixed. Apparently bug report(s?) has been filed to no avail. Maybe a new browser is in order. I just switched to this one from Firefox; it seems I may need to look further.

                            @PerCat I know, just showed a way to come around the problem until it's solved.
