Nice idea @cryintonight !

I can't promise anything, just wanted to say your mockup looks cool

Moving islands to workspaces, closing island, muting islands and saving island tabs as speed dial / pinboard are on the way.

@propheta Alright, thanks. It is on for some people who are in a test group, so I thought we could narrow down the cause if you happened to be in that group.

Could you make a video of the freeze happening and upload it somewhere to get a better idea of what you're seeing on your end?

Is address-bar-dropdown-cities enabled for you in opera://flags?

If so, could you disable it (and re-enable address-bar-dropdown-categories) to see if that's where the problem is?

@andrew84: Can you say when this feature gets in the way for you?

@andrew84: Can you describe these issues (or show a video)?

@johnd78: It's a bug, thank you!

@darkchaplain: Thank you, we've reproduced the bug with keyboard shortcuts. It has been reported as DNA-98231.

@darkchaplain: A setting for it has been implemented, it wasn't in time for this developer release but you'll see it next time.

It's killing my workflow multiple times a day, especially since just hovering the mouse in the wrong spot disables keyboard shortcuts.

This is a bug, can you expand a bit on this? What platform are you on and which keyboard shortcuts get disabled?

@andrew84:

I can suspect that if the enhanced address bar is enabled in Settings and Address bar dropdown categories is enabled by default there are two panels appear at the same time(Dropdown categories over the BABE , that's why it looks flickering while appearing)

This is not the issue. The flickering is happening because suggestions are coming in and being added to the view while the view is already shown.

@andrew84: You're right, it's a bug that the dropdown is not respecting the setting. It's known and the next update you'll get should have it fixed.

@andrew84: enhanced address bar (displaying a dropdown with suggestions on address field focus) will stay optional and a setting.

The dropdown itself won't be - no way we're going to support two dropdown implementations because you don't like the calculator

@kened: Although this is definitely an option I'm a bit worried about sites misusing it by making this happen to video ads, which will instantly turn into pop-up video ads

Can you say if you have Synchronization turned on?

@purplet: Could you say what annoys you about them? Just the fact that they appear and you don't like them, or is it that they don't disappear fast enough (they're in the way), or is there another annoyance you have?

@ebon-hawk: The issue is already fixed in Opera, but because the issue is with updating and we can't update the affected versions to a version with the fix (because it's the update that won't work), you need to do a manual update.

But only once, because after doing the manual update you'll have a version with the fix.

@gik-team: It's being worked on, we're resolving problems with video playback on content-protected steaming sites.

@nintendork07: I can't reproduce the problem in Opera 71. Does it happen on specific sites or with any video? Can you click the menu item 'View -> Hide Toolbar in Full Screen Mode' when this happens (it should normally be disabled for a full screen video)?

OK, reproduced, the window needs to be in full screen mode already with toolbars set to visible and sidebar set to hidden, then full-screening a video will have this effect. It'll be fixed in the next update.

@andrew84 said in Attach files with wild abandon! Presenting Easy Files:

When uploading images it should show images only, not all the formats including .exe.

It does this. Like the file chooser dialog, it depends on whether the site has said which formats are being handled or all formats are allowed.

@andrew84 said in Opera 73 developer:

@andrew84 it seems that Opera on Presto had this feature since 10th version. Far better solution than the Ctrl+Tab cycler.

They are for different purposes (note that Presto also had a tab cycler). Disclaimer: I've worked on all these features, both the historical ones in Presto and the current ones in Opera.

The tab cycler allows you to switch between recently used tabs. The general idea is that you find the tab you're looking for either immediately (last tab used) or by scanning the first 2-3 items. You can go further if it turns out it's longer ago, but this is the exception, not the rule. Similar to the application switcher in macOS (Cmd+Tab) or Windows (Alt+Tab).

You might not be the type of user that often switches between recently used tabs. That's fine, then Tab Cycler is not for you. It doesn't mean it's not useful for others that do work this way.

Showing thumbnails of tabs on the tab strip allows you to contextually find a tab, especially if you haven't seen it for a while but you have a visual memory of either what it looks like or where in the tab strip it was located. It doesn't help at all to switch quickly between recently used tabs, especially when there are many, but it helps if you're looking for a tab you know is somewhere. Similar to the Dock on macOS or the task bar on Windows, or maybe Expose on macOS.

Opera doesn't have a way to see a thumbnail overview of the whole tab strip right now, but it does have a contextual overview of tabs in Search Tabs. The feature we had in Presto for sure was handy for some people, but the effort needed in making it appear meant that it was tragically underused, and a new effort to bring a tab strip visualization would have to improve on that.
