      Hello,

      I was actually writing here about another bug that I've noticed today when I thought of reinstalling opera GX to clear it before opening an unnecessary topic. Worst idea I had today.

      My fear was to lost all my tabs and spaces if I had to do it. So, to prevent this and not lose all my work, I thought to install the normal version of opera, sync my browsers and reinstall opera GX... the thing is, years ago, I was working with vanilla-opera (let's call it like that), and had tabs and spaces opened in them. And it was actually on this one that I had created my account, so after installing opera-normal, my account was still connected, but not the synchronization feature, as I had disabled it probably at the same time. Then, thinking the version of my account on opera GX was newer and that it will overwrite the old one on vanilla-opera, I activated the synchronization feature.

      Hm... The opposite has happened. So, I do know that opera is keeping data backups of our profile. Therefore, can I hope to recover my previous workspaces? I deeply need them as I'm actually working on multiple projects at once and each workspace are dedicated to one project.

      And if not, may I suggest implementing synchronization steps and account versions verification in the next update?
      I love opera, but this kind of thing is kinda... infuriating.

      I hope you can help me.

      With all regards
