<![CDATA[Typing URL stops after first letter]]>I have a weird problem recently.
When I open a new Opera window or tab and start to type the URL on the address bar, right after the first letter, the typing stops, like I clicked somewhere else and the cursor leaves the address bar.
It happens only when I open a new tab or window, never when I type on one that is already on an another website, and always right after the first letter. And no, my mouse works fine, it doesn't gets clicked on its own.
It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often.
Any way to fix it? Thank you.
Opera version 122.0.5643.17

Maybe it will help the developers find out what causes the problem and solve it.

I'd never thought about that. Thank you! At least working around that will help, even if it's only part of the time.
I hate that stupid tooltip/emoji bar anyway. I have no use for emojis on my browser tabs.

Nice find. But even without the hovering over tab, the issue appears really often, just not 100% of the times.

I have found that it happens 100% when you:

  1. open new tab
  2. hower new tab heading with mouse to show a toolip (with emojis)
  3. start typing when tooltip is shown

it will show a suggestion (or just prints one letter if no suggestions) and stops updating adress bar.

And yes, this problem started with one of recent updates. Like 1-3 weeks ago

Like BuzzKilled, I've tried toggling different options and nothing is fixing it. Using version (122.0.5643.51)
It started a week or so ago and it's honestly annoying enough to make me think about going back to Chrome.

Does closing Opera and deleting the "History" file in the profile folder (path at the URL opera://about) avoid the crash?

It has been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks and has persisted after a couple Opera updates.

I have all "Enhanced address bar" options disabled and have played with a few other toggles to troubleshoot. Nothing seems to fix it.

I'm currently using Opera version 122.0.5643.51 and Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.26100 Build 26100.

The problem is that the rest of the URL stops being highlighted so that I can keep typing, like I clicked the mouse somewhere else and the cursor left the address bar.
