DevTools crashes Opera

[umutkazdal]

As soon as I right click on an element and click "Inspect" or use the shortcut for Dev Tools, Opera crashes. This is annoying because I develop websites and use DevTools all day long. I don't want to use another browser just to test my applications.

Opera version is115.0.5322.119
MacOs 13.4.1 (22F82)

Same here. I tried to send a bug report but it got flagged as "rejected" by the bots. I've tried a clean install and didn't help at all. Using Opera for windows.

@theakhrua2 Hi there! Could you please share more details about the crash? If you have any steps to reproduce it or the crash ID from opera://crashes, that would be really helpful. Thanks!

@daria19 BUG-3500 is my rejected report on the bug that bothers everyone. I even tried it on a clean install and it still breaks.
Steps to reproduce :
Can you reproduce this issue?
Yes. It happened about two weeks ago after I updated Opera.
What steps can be taken to reproduce this issue? If the issue cannot be replicated, what actions were performed just before the problem occurred?

1. Open Opera and load any website.
2. Open Inspect elements
3. Use the CTRL+SHIFT+C to activate the select element shortcut. It is important to use the shortcut and not to activate it with the mouse.
   3.1 Try to hit inspect elements on a page that already has dev tools open
4. Opera crashes every time.

@TosDev Your steps fits my observations with two differences:

1. In my case problem shows up in both cases: CTRL+SHIFT+C shortcut and choosing inspect from context menu as well.
2. In my case Opera doesn't crash every time. Usually if devtools are already open and I dont't use shortcut or context menu but only inspect icon form devtools it works properly.

@Netergo Could you kindly provide us with the crash ID associated with this issue? You can find it in the opera://crashes page. It would greatly assist us in investigating the problem.

@daria19 Most of the crashes in my case doesn't have an ID (Discarded=1). Only few have - this is one of those:
CrashID=bp-662a4fc8-ecd1-499c-911b-936da0250105

@Netergo Same here. I don't have a single crash with an ID.

Problem persists in version Version: 116.0.5366.21.
On my machine it crashes exactly every second time I inspect an element.

This is a deal breaker, since I am a web developer and need this function all the time.

Same issue here. When I inspect element it opens DevTools, but with DevTools opened when I click inspect again it crashes every time.
When I close DevTools I can inspect again no problem.

@Gekiyaku said in DevTools crashes Opera:

Have the same problem. 115.0.5322.119 and 116.0.5366.21 (after an update that didn't help). I am a web developer and have been using Opera for over 15 years. I'm used to it. But now it is completely unusable. I can't work. It's horrible.

Same problem, I get it when:
a. DevTools is already open
b. I click the F12 key

Browser closes and then reopens.

This bug is now making Opera unusable for development purposes.

I've now given up waiting for a patch and have reinstalled a December 2024 version of Opera instead, over the current version.

I went to this version: https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/115.0.5322.113/win/

DevTools is now working OK.

@tomaustin Alas if I downgrade Opera, autoupdate kicks in and restores the latest version.
Frankly I don't understand why Opera cannot solve this problem, obviously it is a regression, the version where it started is well known, just have to look at version control.
