      I am unable to edit/copy the full URL as Opera GX hides the "http(s)://" bit both from view and when quickly trying to edit/copy the URL. For example, I'm on any website, and I want to copy the full URL to send it to someone, but it doesn't embed or show up as a clickable link unless it has the "http(s)://" part. Another example, I'm on a website of my own testing something out, and I need to remove the "s" from "https://", but I'm unable to see or edit that part of the URL bar as it hides it when clicked on (Chrome shows it only when the bar is clicked on).

        One user in 2022 said he uninstalled Opera and reinstalled it.

        That should not be the requirement today but apparently it is....
        I too have the same issue, occurring since the more recent Opera updates.

        But I can at least do a CTRL + C to perform the copy/paste.

          In the settings, search up "Full URL", and enable the "Show full URL in combined search address bar" option. This shows everything in the URL (like parameters), but also shows the "http(s)" (URL protocol) part as a result.
