Alt-Enter in address bar no longer opens a new tab

It used to be when entering a search in the address bar and pressing Alt-Enter, Opera opened a new tab with the results. This is how Google Chrome works by default. This no longer works in Opera. Did something change? Can I get it back? This is a deal breaker for me.

@cpking this is now also happening to me, starting from Opera version 122.0.5643.92. Right now, using version 121.0.5600.50, and it works as expected, with Alt+Enter opening a new tab and browsing to the requested URL. I've blocked the updates until this is solved.

Opera Browser 122.0.5643.92 x64

@leocg It's happening on Opera GX 122.0.5643.136

Bought a brand new PC today and installed GX on it. Still got the issue. It's been one month since the bug has been reported

@eduararley Partially it seems yes.

If I type something and hit Alt+Enter it works, but if I type part of something then use the arrows to autocomplete and hit Alt+Enter it does nothing.

This used to work in Opera and still does work in Chrome.

@Tharkon you're right, I didn't test that case, but just tried and it doesn't work if tried from one of the drop-down items
