Unclickable Top 40px in Extension Popups on Opera – BUG-906
-
saidtorres3 last edited by leocgI wanted to bring attention to an issue I've encountered and already reported to Opera Support, but I thought it would be helpful to share it here too, just to keep a public record and see if anyone else has come across it, since opera bugs reports are not public. Here’s what I’ve found:
Summary:
In Opera (both the regular version and Opera GX), extension popups seem to have an issue where the top 40 pixels of the popup window become unclickable. This makes it impossible to interact with any buttons, links, or elements positioned in that area of the popup.Steps to Reproduce:
- Install and activate an extension that generates a popup (without a URL bar or typical navigation tools).
- Open the extension's popup.
- Try clicking on any interactive element within the top 40 pixels of the popup.
Expected Behavior:
Ideally, everything in the popup should be clickable, no matter where it's located.Actual Behavior:
Unfortunately, the first 40 pixels from the top remain unclickable, preventing any interaction with elements like buttons or links in that area.Additional Details:
- This issue only happens in extension-generated popups, not in standard browser windows.
- The issue persists across various extensions and after clearing the cache, disabling other extensions, or using different versions of Opera.
- Interestingly, this doesn’t happen in Google Chrome, which suggests it might be specific to Opera’s handling of extension popups without the URL bar or browsing tools.
Environment:
- Browser Version: Opera 114.0.5282.115 & Opera GX 114.0.5282.106
- Operating System: Windows 11
- Extensions Tested: Popup extension, Bitwarden
- Hardware: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1145G7 @ 2.60GHz, RTX GPU
