Hi,
how can I let the address-bar hidden while I'm surfing on the same Top-Level-Domain (TLD)?

Actually the address-bar reappears when I tap on a link. No matter if the link goes to a new TLD or to the same.
It would be a nice feature if Opera-Touch stays in full screen mode when I am moving on the same TLD and shows the address-bar only when I scroll further up. If the link goes to another TLD the actual behaviour, to show the address-bar on load, is welcome.

Thank you for fixing this in the actual version!!!

OperaMini initially calculates the javascript window.innerHeight not as defined by the W3C:

The innerHeight attribute must return the viewport height including the size of a rendered scroll bar (if any), or zero if there is no viewport. CSS Working Group

OperaMini calculates the innerHeight at the beginning as it will be when the menu bars disappear after you start scrolling. This is not the expected value and does not match the definition. The menu bar is not "a rendered scroll bar" and should therefore not be included in the innerHeight value!

Expected behaviour:

• always calculate the innerHeight as defined
• calculate at the beginning the innerHeight as defined above
• recalculate the innerHeight while the menu bars disappear
• launch 'resize' events while the menu bars disappear
• do this the other way around when the menu bars are shown again

Please fix this issue. Thanks!

Do you think I should post the behavior above as a bug?

Setting the scale of the main/stand alone monitor back to 100% (as it was most of the time over the last years) does change nothing on the reported menu problem. But it resolves the mentioned favicon-display problem.

If I move the 1st monitor (which is not the "main" monitor) up or down it becomes worse in both directions. There in the middle, like in the picture in my last post, it is the best - means I can see most of Operas menu.

I want to say that I'm using Opera since 2004 as my daily browser, and since 10 years with two monitors, and I never had this problem ... Can you fix it??

With "alignment" you mean this?

The build-in monitor (laptop) has the resolution 1920 x 1080 and is set to a scale of 175% for text, apps and other elements.

The stand alone monitor has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and is set to a scale of 125%

The monitor is ~ 1 year old (EIZO FlexScan EV2455). It is connected to my laptop. I'm using the laptop with both screens (laptop and stand alone monitor) side by side. The strange behaviour is only at the main screen (stand alone monitor). If I move the Opera window to the other monitor Operas menu behaves normal if maximised. When the Opera window is not maximised the size and position of the menu is fine/normal, on both screens.

The upper part of the title bar of Opera - and only of this Program! - can not be seen if I maximise the window. The screen ends where the picture ends (see another picture here). The mouse can not disappear at the top. It stops where the picture ends at the top.

I noticed that the setting to hide the upper space between tabs and window/screen when maximised, does modify nothing on both monitors if I maximise Operas window.

For me it looks like Operas window recognises the size of the screen, but Operas menu does't recognize that the monitor scale in the MS-Windows settings was set to 125%, so the menu "thinks" in 100% monitor scale and therefore the size of the menu is too big.

I noticed a similar misbehave with the bookmarks "favicons". See this picture. The size of Operas icon window is larger than the icon, so that the edge of the next icon can be seen at the right and bottom of this mini-window.

My Opera-menu display is strange if I maximize the window. See the picture here.

The "O" from Opera disappears at the upper left corner of the window/screen when the menu is open and the menu field is too high.

How can I fix this?

The monitor scale is set to 125% with default resolution (1920x1200).
The "display scaling on high DPI devices" for Opera is set to "by application".

Everything that's stored in encrypted form requires decryption before it can be used. It's one kind of system impact to do that for passwords at individual site log-ins, and another to do it constantly for each frequently-accessed browser file involving open tabs, bookmarks, and history which involve frequent read/writes.

On the fly encryption and decryption is nowadays no speed or resource problem. You can do this with huge drives and thousands of GB data reading and writing without loss of speed in comparison with non encrypted files.

Moreover, the added complexity adds a lot more potential failure points when bad things happen to good files and processes.

Storing each Opera-OS-account in another folder does not add much complexity. The only challenge is to store each OS-account passwords, settings, bookmarks, open tabs and history in his own folder, as it is done now in only one folder. If this is the problem I wonder how you managed to get Opera to work at all.

Sorry, i don't use any [encrypted pen-drive] so i can't recommend any. However i think it shouldn't depend on someone else's account to work.

But it depends. It is impossible to mount a drive letter without admin rights on Windows by design. Unless you previously installed the appropriate TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt driver, which would require admin rights at that point. Your proposal is well-intentioned leocg, but unfortunately impracticable.

Why such info [settings, open tabs, bookmarks, history, ...] should be considered sensitive?

• settings I consider confidential because I don't want someone to see my Autofill settings, or a malicious person to modify my settings. Especially the SSL Zertificates.
• open tabs, bookmarks and the history I consider confidential because I don't want my employer, my parents, my children, my wife, my friends or someone else see all the kind of sites I visited and at what time over the last years. They may draw the wrong conclusions about me from that.

So why not apply your password method to this information as well and additionally create one container for each OS-account we use Opera on?

If any data in a pen-drive is so important that it should not be accessed by others, then it should be encrypted. And there are many ways to do it.

Right! Can you tell me one that does not need admit rights to be executed? TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt need admin rights on the OS-account. But some accounts where I use my pen-drive do not give me admin rights. How do you think can your suggestion be managed there in an easy and secure way?

Let me correct a wrong information: your password couldn't be used because the file for stored passwords would not work in a different computer other than the one it was created.

This is a really great feature! Much better then implementing a master password for each software! Why do you not apply this method to all other sensitive information stored in Opera? Such as settings, open tabs, bookmarks, history, ... And then create one container for each OS-account we use this edition of Opera on. Opera could then always use the right container for the OS-account we use it at the moment.

However, everyone will be able to use your Opera and see your browsing history, use your saved passwords and so on.

Isn't this an argument to reintroduce a master password setting possibility as Opera had years before?
I'm using Opera as my standard browser since 2004, nowadays I am using Opera mainly as a portable browser within the PortableApps platform and I worry someone finding it and using it in a malicious way. What can be done easily, as you confirmed. With a master password protection I would feel definitely safer!
I found one extension with this feature, but it still has some security gaps.
Please consider my arguments for introducing a master password setting in the default Opera release.
Thank you.

Opera uses the OS credentials to encrypt saved passwords, this is what i was trying to say.

Does this mean that if I use Opera at my USB drive - as a portable browser - and someone finds this drive he can not see all my websites unlocked by cookies if he does not use the same OS-account as I used when I logged into that web pages?
