@kmielczarczyk Yes, and sorry I came off too harsh but I was really mad at the current situation with Opera (the Aria icon is another pain point).

First of all, I prefer scrolling Tab Strip and have Tab Islands and Tab grouping disabled in Opera Beta.
Still, whenever I drag a tab on top, a new group/island gets created, and usually tha Tab Strip gets scrolled to another place (so I lose focus on the just dragged tabm which is anothe annoyance).

But the whole Tab area is a mess currently. Dragging a tab in Beta 113.0.5230.18 for instance can only be done if you are careful not moving the mouse outside the Tab Strip, or Opera instead resizes itself.

That also prevents fomr detaching a tab from a window.

Then there's the click on the active tab to mve to the top, which doesn't distinguish between a click and a drag and always goes to the top unconditionally.

There might be more but that is the most annoying thing to me.

(I also have more issues lately but I'm not sure those are Opera's faults or my distro/desktop's bugs)

@kmielczarczyk So this is an issue or design? If this is by design, what for was the fix?

@tastodd Nope.

For example on 13.3'' display it looks ugly. OMenu consumes the whole display height and also covers taskbar. I don't know who 'designed' this.
In Chrome/Edge it looks correctly.

@andrew84 It's strange that they said they solved this problem

DNA-117694 [Win] Spacing in context menus and Omenu is too large

@tastodd Long story short, that bug was to fix some issues with the context menus not matching the design (that must be a newer design that doesn't match how things were perfect in Opera 111). So, we can ignore whether that bug is fixed or not.

Opera knows that we're questioning the new design itself and they're looking into it at least.

Maybe the new design was only tested with high-resolution, huge displays where it looks great there. Not sure.

@burnout426 Personally, I understood that whatever they do recently: designing smth new, redesigning, refreshing the redesign, it won't work as smooth as it worked in pre-One versions.
