Opera stops being able to open new tabs after a while

I'm running into this issue where Opera wont open new tabs after the browser has been up for a while, the time between failures has been inconsistent, some times it could be a couple minutes or it could be running for more than an hour before it fails. If I hit the new tab button I'll get the new tab page but I wont be able to open anything, nothing I click reacts. If I click a link or something that would open a new tab the page is black with the tab title just called Untitled. I'm not doing much when it happens either, most of the time Opera is in the background with a youtube video or a podcast running while I do my homework on Chrome and OneNote

This isn't the browser crashing though, what tabs I do have up when this happens still work just fine. If I have a YouTube video running I can keep playing new videos, but if I want to open one in a different tab I just get the blank screen. Same thing happens if I try and open any kind of setting page

The quick fix is just closing and relaunching Opera but that's getting kinda tiresome and I shouldn't have to do it.

My Opera is currently up to date, version is LVL 6 (core: 113.0.5230.135)

@TravenW I have the exact same issue. I just switched to Opera and I really like it but this is really annoying. Did you ever find a solution?

@seth6g Nothing that I'd call a solution but it did stop after I had made a bug report about it, followed by a couple of updates. I did find that you can right click on the icon in the tool bar and open an new tab from there and that fixes it for that session.
