      @donq, I know what you mean. Anyway my post was pointed at @ruario as he said "The problem is already solved." which is pure bull$hit. Tabs menu is not a solution for tabs management. I will keep repeating it forever.

        Only 2 people commented on my suggestion, all other went off topic... And Opera employee completely ignored my idea probably without even looking at my images. And bringing topic about tab previews which has nothing to do with my suggestion, and by review on blog results that people don't even like it... I've admitted my mistake about menu, but my point still stands, menu is uncomfortable and probably it's rarely used by anyone. Is there any moderator who can clean that up? Leave just first 2 comments and please people, don't bring up the features that are already there, because it's a feature request/suggestion and not a problem solving section.

          Well, if someome suggests something that is, somehow, already covered by a existing feature, people for sure can reply pointing out that feature and the one who made the suggestion is free to agree or not like you did.

          The main target of this Suggestion's forum is to discuss about the suggested features and try to show to developers how they (the suggested features) may be useful for most users and not just for a few.

            Now talking about your suggestion, it seems to be another way to see a tab's title which is already covered by tab menu and tab preview imho. In fact you can see them just by hovering the mouse on the tab.

              Not really, it's how you switch tabs. Menu is a 2 click solution, and when you have more tabs you have to scroll as well. As for tabs preview, it covers your actual page, and when you accidentally hover over the tabstrip it gets annoying. So I guess disabling tabs preview on default was a good choice 🙂

              The other way to see tab's title is a hint which is already there, but first one shows with a default system's delay time. I said before it's 400ms, but it's actually 1000ms. If Opera uses CToolTipCtrl they can use CToolTipCtrl::SetDelayTime function to set it to a very low value.
              But I don't know if Opera folks would even apply this. It appears they don't listen to a mere humans 😛

                There seems to be need for some translation [between users and developers and bystanders] 🙂

                I hope I can get this right - problem is that there doesn't exist quick, simple and unobtrusive way to identify tab title (and/or page address). what-is-this suggested solution(s) to this problem. Ruari misunderstood problem core and offered solutions to different (although related) problem, we all others started to comment on various less or more off-topic side questions.

                Like it always goes on internet forums 🙂

                    Currently you can hover tha mouse on a tab and see its title, so the only difference in the suggestion would be the animation.

                      Yes, that's exactly what this suggestion is about! 🙂

                      And I would prefer it this way, as it would look more clearly and be faster. Of course it can be optional for those who don't like it.

                        The only problem with this approach is when you go to the sides of the screen. Tabs should squeeze then to the opposite direction. For example, when you hoover over tabs on the left, tabs would squeeze to the right.
                        EDIT: And one more problem, it would be hard to "catch" x-close button, because movement would be proportional to quantity of tabs in the strip. But anyway I still think it's not that bad idea. And I'm happy you like it 🙂
