@opera-qa-team: No checkbox boders anywhere. Check for example: MDN site: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/input/checkbox
(That was reported already for previous dev version.) -

@sopronman: they're phasing out the beta build, leaving only 'stable' and 'dev' builds (but adding an 'early bird' setting to the stable build). Not sure why none of the Opera employees have mentioned it. Here is the blog post: https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2025/12/opera-presents-early-bird-mode/

Starting with this release (but potentially a bit earlier as I may not have restarted between a couple earlier opera-developer builds): when Opera first starts up, the address bar is truncated. I see something like 30-35 chars worth, then a slight fade, then just empty background (as if the URL were only that long, but it is not).
This is visible on multiple tabs. As soon as I click inside the address bar, the full contents become visible, and this 'sticks' and fixes the address bar appearance on all tabs, for the rest of the session.
(Also: learned this because a web site crashed Opera. The site was messages.google.com, their web-access-to-SMS/RCS site. I had operated its '...' menu > Send feedback, wrote them a bug report, clicked on their 'take screenshot' button, got as far as telling it to actually take the screenshot -- and Opera restarted. Have not tried to reproduce this since then, not particularly enjoying sudden browser restarts...
Obviously these are two separate bugs for you to look into... : )

@filbo aaaand... confirmed the crash bug. Steps:
-
messages.google.com -- then do whatever setup is required for them to mirror your phone's SMS/RCS onto that site (might work without that -- not tested)
-
'⋮' menu on per-chat-top-bar of site > Send feedback
-
enter any text into 'Description' box
-
'Capture screenshot'
-
dialog pops up, 'Allow messages.google.com to see this tab?'
-
click [Allow]
-
Opera crashes instantly

An ongoing issue with how Opera is framed on my desktop. First, I'm running Debian 'sid' with what I believe is its most default windowing environment: Gnome (49.1) with its Mutter window manager, a Wayland session, and 'adwaita' theme.
Long ago, Opera offered to frame its windows with the operating system / window manager's widgets, or Opera's own; but I can no longer find this option, so the only choice is 'Opera's own'; which means the window lacks normal widgets like 'close', 'minimize', etc. But it still has a drag handle area in the top bar (small bits of it, away from the various browser widgets).
The problem: subwindows also lack these widgets, and do not have a drag area. I am thinking particularly of the Inspector window, when it is detached from the browser window. It has no place to grab and drag.
So in sum: Linux:Gnome:Mutter:Wayland:Opera, detached Inspector window has no window manager widgets, particularly no drag area.
