      The color accent slider is broken here.
      After clicking the color accents 'boxes' it shows the corresponding color but after moving the slider it'll show the default grey color in all cases.

        Search engine shortcuts stopped working

        Only recently did I notice that the search engine shortcuts have - partly - stopped working. My custom ones appear disabled, but I could (seemingly) reenable them manually.

        But the "built-in" shortcuts - such as "w" for Wikipedia (the German version in my case, due to some mechanism inside Opera) - have also partly ceased to work. Typing "w Opera" into the URL field show bring me directly to Wikipedia, but directs my to the default search engine Google, using "https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=w [---]".

        I have seen some changelog entries regarding "search", but I cannot usually understand what was changed from their cryptic titles. And I couldn't find anything in these forums.

        Opera One(version: 136.0.5995.0)
        Update stream:developer
        System:Fedora Linux 44 (Workstation Edition) (x86_64; GNOME)

        I have been observing this for a few versions now, on two different Linux machines with independent, different search engine configurations.

        Has anyone else been seeing this?

          Pardon my typos: "Should bring me directly..." and "but directs me to the default..."

            Why does a new tab in the vertical bar (mouse gesture or "new tab" button) open at the top of the list? Similarly, a new page from the bookmarks bar is also opened first. But the pages from the thumbnails on the home page are opened as the last ones on the list. It's a bit inconsistent.
            As for me, I would prefer new tabs to be opened at the end of the vertical tab list.

            My proposals for changes in Opera (Google Document).

              @jojo0587 check the #vertical-tabs-new-tab-on-top flag and disable as a temporary solution.

              *It's unclear why the flag not only changes the new tab button position but also changes the way tabs are open.

                @andrew84: I don't like changing anything in the flags. Wouldn't it be simpler to add the appropriate switch to the opera settings?

                  @mbstafs I can confirm this. I wonder if it's a regression caused by the fix for:

                  RNA-4324 [Search Engines] Opera triggers inactive search shortcuts in address bar
                  

                  that was first included in the previous Opera Developer build as shown at https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-136/.

                  I mentioned this new issue in that bug at least, so someone is at least informed about it.

                      It seems you changed the default Opera theme-color.
                      The visibility and readability of tab-islands improved here on Windows 10.

                        @jojo0587: when you have a lot of open tabs you have to move the mouse cursor or scroll all the way down to see the latest open tabs, now they open at the top so they are more reachable

                        when i comes to opening a bookmark or history link, this did not change they just open after your current active tab as they always did

                          URL bar loses content when losing focus

                          I noticed another very annoying thing, which makes Operas less easy to use:
                          The URL bar loses my typed content, if I switch to a different tab, or a different window (via window manager).

                          Like e.g. I open a new tab, or switch to the URL bar with Ctrl+L, so to enter a new search term for my default search engine or any other string (even a URL), then switch to a different tab to look something up, or if I let Opera lose focus while I do something else on my PC, in a different program. Whatever I have typed just disappears when I return to my tab! Totally impractical.

                          BTW: What used to also happen was when switching back and forth between tabs, if one tab had its focus IN the URL bar, when returning to that tab, the focus was no longer there (but the text still was present). I had reported that MANY years ago and it was quickly fixed, but some time ago this "issue" returned and I wasn't sure whether that was intentional, so i stopped caring.

                              @andrew84 clarification regarding the 1st bug. The menu will be missed if an island in vertical mode was created by drag and drop way.

                                @mbstafs I can confirm also. It seems to only happen when switching to a different window and back if the address field drop-down is open. If I hit esc or click somewhere outside the drop-down to close the drop-down before switching to another window and back, the text in the address field remains as expected.

                                  @burnout426: Thanks for the confirmation (both of you).

                                  I double-checked: If I let the URL dropdown fold "up" by clicking somewhere else, then switch the tab forth and back, its content still disappears. If I instead switch to a different application on my PC, the content stays.

                                  This is on Linux:
