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.
