Their message isn't empty, they're quoting a question to bump this thread because Opera still breaks critical functionality throughout Windows while open.
The quoted message was old and had already been answered, so to me that didn't make sense.
Choppa, are you able to successfully delete OTHER entries that DO come from the history? Have you looked for this url among your markers?
If you go to Menu / Help / About, does it also fail to check if it's the latest version?
You can try opening the Developer Toolbar (by default by pressing Ctrl-Shift-I) and checking the network tab. What does it show when you try to access, let's say, opera.com?
Did you look for Yahoo links among your markers, just in case? I only get a Yahoo suggestion if I press space after the 'y'.
Anyway, I recommend configuring that key to do a Youtube search. For example, if you type "y music", it will take you to the search results for that word.
opera://settings/searchEngines
If you don't see the X, it's because the entry does not come from the history but from a marker, an Opera suggestion or somewhere else.

@StephenRitchings About history time being incorrect, read this topic.
Regarding missing history entries, it was already fixed:
DNA-80253 History page displays incomplete history records
I'm afraid that didn't fix it. I have the latest version (64.0.3417.92) and I still have this problem. By the way, the history records were never "incomplete", just grouped under the wrong day, so it seems a different issue here.
@burnout426 said in Latest Opera Update breaks essential (Ctrl+Shift+Home/End) Windows shortcuts:
Only if you choose to not keep all your data when you uninstall. Instead, goto the URL
opera://about, take note of the profile path, close down Opera and rename/delete the profile folder.
Why not maybe just delete that Preferences file instead?
Thank you, burnout426! I edited the Preferences file and removed the whole commands section, and that solved the issue. Although I see that someone else also recommends just changing all these shortcuts to global: false.
Very good finding, @notdifficult!! It worked like a charm, thanks!!
This is something that started some days ago (I'm not sure when), but I recently realized it's Opera to blame.
I frequently use Ctrl-Shift-Home and Ctrl-Shift-End to "select everything to the beginning/end", but when Opera is running, this shortcut just does nothing. Despite I'm in another browser, or in Notepad, Word, etc., the shortcut just doesn't work. Using only Ctrl or Shift with Home/End works, but not the three keys at the same time. As soon as I close Opera, everything works as expected.
I checked Opera's shortcuts but none has these key combination. Still if it was there, it should not affect other applications.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm using version 63.0.3368.94 (the latest as of today) on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (fully updated).
Yep, I'm in UTC-3 and the date change is considered at 9 PM my time. That is midnight UTC.

I have also noticed this. I just re-checked and the issue is still there. It happens to me at least when doing a search. Check out this screenshot when looking for "youtube" (dates are in Spanish but I guess anyone can understand):
I just noticed that when opening the history, now being Tuesday 1 am, it says today is Monday and shows the links from "the real" today Tuesday. Then come the links from yesterday Monday, but it says they are from Sunday! Maybe the issue happens when the browsers stays running after midnight?
Update: Nope, I just reopened Opera and everything after midnight still shows up as today but as Monday 23rd... Maybe some timezone thing? Weird...
It happens to me too, and happened with the previous version too (the one with the slow speed dial). It doesn't happen all the time, so I guess it must be after I do something in the browser, regardless of the resulting active page. It even happens in Speed Dial or with Opera minimized.
I did some attempts, like using Youtube full screen and then closing the tab, but that didn't cause the problem. It just happened again minutes ago while Opera was in https://www.facebook.com/messages. I'll try to do some further testing to see if I can find exactly how to reproduce it.
@LunchBoxSteve said in Screen won't turn-off or allow screen saver to activate with Opera Window open:
Yes, at first I thought it was YouTube that I would leave open on Pause so I stopped that. Then I thought it was Facebook so I closed that. Then I picked just a random page like Google Search results to leave open to be sure it wasn't the page code specifically causing it. Seems it doesn't matter.
Steve, I guess once Opera is in "avoid screensaver" mode, it doesn't matter the active page. You will have to close it and reopen it to try to find what site produces this.
My guess is that this happens because # is a reserved character for anchors (so the browser scrolls down to that specific part). But still there should be a way to solve this: either by having Opera encode it or Opera somehow realize what's before the # is not an html file.

https://turbo.to/xfaqta8i53lw.html

I restored Opera's window size, so it's not maximized. I then opened those links, closed them, and the window size did not change. Can you clearly specify the steps to reproduce the problem?
That's weird. I use the dark theme and it doesn't happen to me. Are you using any extension? Does this happen in a private window too? You can also try downloading the portable version and check if it happens there.
This is how it looks like here:
The screenshots are too small, let me link the bigger versions of the files:

https://i2.vpx.pl/2019/04/26/PDF_Opera_Ok.png
I named a local file just like that and it opened file, replacing the # with %23 in the address bar.
Is Opera associated with .pdf files and you are doble clicking on it?
Can you specify the exact steps to reproduce the problem?
