@msr1956 said in Today's Opera update.....what a mess.:

So many problems I don't know where to begin. Why release an update with so many glitches? Just ridiculous.

Why post a complaint in a product forum with no information about the problems?

As the original poster of this thread way back in July 2019 I am surprised Opera has not taken on board any of these comments. ...

As has been posted by @andrius-s above: "I cannot describe any rules or consistent behavioral pattern of when this problem occurs." For a developer to identify the problem cause, it is virtually essential that they be able to duplicate it on a system they can monitor - otherwise, they're working in the dark and purely guessing about causes.

To duplicate the problem, a troubleshooter needs to know (for each user seeing the problem): the OS and its version, the Opera version involved, the list of extensions installed into the browser, and a list of the steps that occurred prior to the problem onset (much as @andrius-s has done in this thread). But even with that information, an intermittent or inconsistent problem behavior will take considerably longer to track down, hence it inevitably will require a lot more time and effort on the developers' part. That has to be taken into account, given the existing workload of other problems and ongoing new-design efforts.

"Way back in July 2019" is not that far back for tracking down and solving a problem that even those actually seeing it can't consistently duplicate.
