      Hi, I'm experiencing this issue for quite a while and I tried many things to get rid of it, but nothing seems to be helpful. 😕 I think that I accidentally turned something on under opera://flags back then, when it was ver. 15-16 and now either I'm unable find it or it's not there any more. It is causing to add (or replace) almost every single text input and textarea placeholders with "heurestic type" and it's adding even more data into the "title" parameter, causing pages with field forms to look odd, like in this example: http://i.imgur.com/Bmlk4Zy.png. It is very annoying, because the pop-up with the title data appears every time I move the cursor over the text input and it is covering a lot of space, since it contains few lines of text, like in this example:

      heuristic type: UNKNOWN_TYPE
      server type: NO_SERVER_DATA
      field signature: 0329388193435
      form signature: 3242323187645544
      experiment id: ""
      

      Does anyone have a clue on how can I turn off this useless feature without the need to erase all the user data & settings? 😕

        Open opera://flags
        and Reset to Defaults
        and restart Opera
        😉

          Well, that's kinda rough solution - something that I was trying to avoid. If it really is one of the experimental features, I'd like to know which one it is. I was searching for "text", "input", "data", "experimental", "heurestic" with no success. But thanks for your help, I think that I will eventually do that if I'll fail to find that little bastard... 😉

              You found it! Actually I've came across this one at least couple of times, I have no idea why I didn't try turning that off... Anyway, thanks for your help 🆙
