System Information
Operating System: Windows 11 22H2
Opera version: 105.0.4843.137
Extensions: Only Ad-blocker and Sidebar AI enabled
Hardware: Dell XPS 13 (2022), 16 GB RAM, Intel Core i7 (12th Gen)
Issue Description
When I create a tab group (for example, named “Work”) and open two tabs inside it — say one with Google Docs and another with YouTube — everything works fine at first.
But when I switch to a different (non-grouped) tab and then come back to the “Work” group, the browser crashes. After relaunching, only one tab remains open in the group — the others are gone.I tested this by disabling all extensions, but the issue persists.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a new tab group (e.g., “Work”)
Open 2–3 tabs in that group (Google Docs, YouTube, etc.)
Switch to another normal tab outside the group
Switch back to the grouped tab
Browser crashes
Expected Behavior
Opera should switch back to the grouped tabs normally — preserving all open tabs without crashing.
Actual Behavior
Opera crashes and reopens with only one of the grouped tabs restored.
Additional Notes
The issue seems to occur more often when Sidebar AI is enabled.
Both Opera and Windows are up to date.
The crash happens consistently, almost every time I switch back to the group.
I can share crash logs if needed.
Please let me know if there’s any additional information or logs I can provide to help troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks in advance for your support!
