<![CDATA[Drop Down Options Appearing Constantly]]>Before I start, apologies if I am not explaining the following issue well, but I hope you can understand what I am experiencing and offer a solution: -

Since the most recent Opera update, now when I scroll my mouse across either the address bar at the top of the Opera window or the bar above it (is it called the navigation bar?), all the time drop-down menus appear and disappear as I move the mouse from left to right. Each of these drop-downs list sites I have previously opened or are currently opened sites in windows I have minimised and are down in the dock. How can I stop these annoyingly appear, please?

My bad. I wonder if the problem is specific to Mac, then?

I wonder if this is a problem specific to Windows. 🤔

Thank you for helping me. I have found the user interface section in settings and I have toggled off the following: -

Show tabs from the same domain in tab tooltip

Show emojis in tab tooltip

They are still appearing sadly, as you correctly stated there is no option to disable tab tooltips completely. The only positive is that by turning off the emojis option they are now a little less obtrusive, but they are still there!

Is it related to the latest Opera browser upgrade?

Thanks again for your help. I didn't even know they're called "tab tooltips" as you can see from the title of my thread!

There is no option to disable tabs tooltips at all

This is exactly the same problem I am experiencing! leocg has suggested checking the User Interface section in the settings page. Will have to give it a try, but fear I may be out of my depth!

This is constant and it makes navigating multiple windows/tabs very difficult and also makes it harder to use the address and bookmark bars. e94a5f67-4750-4d43-bb20-f647d270f22a-image.png

Frankly I would love to be able to turn off these tab tooltips completely.

This screencap captures part of the issue. I say only part because before I took the screencap, what I saw was several of these pop-up tooltips, on top of each other so I could see the others taking up space but they were mostly covered up by the front one. I can make these smaller by turning off emojis in tooltips and same-domains in tooltips, but I cannot stop them and they impede navigation and also obscure things behind them. All but this one disappeared in the act of making the screenshot, but if I move my mouse back to that spot I get the same multiple tooltip popups.

Unfortunately I don't speak Dutch, so the screenshot you kindly provided I cannot understand. I do not doubt that you are correct in your analysis, but could you guide me as to which settings I need to check as I am not aware that I changed any. The issue I am experiencing manifested itself after the most recent automatic upgrade to Opera bowser on my Mac, not as a result of any change that I made. I appreciate your help - thank you!

I used 3,5 hours for windows, same for Opera + UblockO, etc. I am sys admin and i want pc only follow my commands, No commands means do nothing at all.

MS, Meta, etc wanna keep users depended of auto - sync, update, etc. That 2nd most important reason I wanna fix prob. Else ask Opera Helpdesk? Hope i help a bit: GL
