      mouseup event is not fired after performing any of the mouse gestures in opera (not necessarily correct one), meaning that if I right click, hold and drag mouse around, after that mouse up event is not triggered.
      Is this a bug or legit way how mouse gestures work in opera, and is there a way to trigger event in those situations?

        May be a .preventDefault() in the event handlers for dragging may help.

          no, it's a right click (no dragging, like DnD). It's just that I need to fetch mouse up on every right click, and I can't (it's not fired) after mouse gesture.
          preventDefault in either mouse down or up doesn't help.

            Testcase

            Can confirm for Opera 12 and 26, that rightmousedown + drag moves the rectangle but releasing right mosue button does not fire mouseup event.

            Testcase works in IE 11, Firefox 34, Iron 39.

            This is a Opera only issue.

                After disabling Mousegestures in Opera Settings -> Browser all works fine.

                    this still bugged
                    @gven-dragon do you have any idea how to temporarily prevent mouse gestures in opera?
                    (not by settings page, but programmatically with JS just for exceptional events)

                      I suffer from this bug too, have Opera developers looked into this?
