      Hey all,

      I am trying to close a window but when I click the close icon it closes the complete browser.

      When clicking on the red circle, opera is gone...0cd6ab08-df47-46aa-8605-6159cec15409-image.png

      I also miss the regular scale icons on windows on OSX.. where are these??19f28f84-fab1-4839-bc7e-b30a861970d5-image.png

        Looks like on macOS, clicking the red close button ends up closing the entire Opera app even if you're just trying to close one window. A more reliable shortcut is ⌥ Option + F4 (Alt+F4 on Windows/Linux) to close the current window without quitting the browser entirely. Alternatively, if you're on Windows or Linux, Ctrl + W closes the tab (and the window if it was the last tab), while Alt + F4 closes the window directly. Hope that helps!

          @mattewwade I'm on macOS (Opera One 120.0.5543.161), but the red button only closes singular windows for me, both from testing and from what the browser tells me should happen. When "Warn on closing window with multiple tabs" and "Warn on quitting Opera with multiple tabs open" options are both enabled, (they have different pop-up text), the window text displays when I use the red button, and the quitting text displays when I properly quit Opera using the Menu Bar or right-clicking the app for "Quit".
