Opera Build: 70.0.3693.0(Developer upstream)
OS: macOS 10.14.6 64-bit

Issue:
When copying URLs from the URL bar and paste it in other applications (RichText or HTML capable apps), doesn't copy the plain text URL but a rich text/html(?) representation of the URL. Also, the URL will not work in Messages if send (bug in Messages?).

It should copy the raw URL in plain text. Nothing else. This has started recently with some of the newer Dev Builds (note that other browsers don't display this behaviour).

Examples (screen shots):

Copy the URL

Now copied and pasted into another application with rich text/html capability:

Copied and pasted and sent in iMessages results in a empty send.

@intek13x: Was in a constant loop of crashing when trying to enable uBlock Origin. Found out that disabling the flag #sidebar-extensions-in-browser-sidebar (opera://flags) stopped the crashing.

@kyu3 It's a sanboxed and ”built-in” audio and video API in macOS/OS X. It will run when applications using this API needs to parse for example; video or audio (specially when no hardware acceleration is available for the media) The SpeedDial will is capable of showing animated wallpapers, so it may be that (even if you don't have animated wallpapers set).

However, can you check: opera://gpu/ and post the results you get for Graphics Feature Status.

@andrew84: See https://forums.opera.com/topic/36247/opera-66-0-3494-0-developer-update/28 for workaround.

@backside9 Seen this too, and was at first confused what this was. Mine looks the same, with the exception that on Opera Developer; ”The sidebar” and the Extension Bar have switched places comparing to your screenshot.

@l33t4opera Same result with disabled opera:flags#enhanced-address-bar (first thing i tried), same on 70.0.3701.0

@leocg It's just Opera Dev, not in Opera stable not any other browser.

From Opera Stable (68.0.3618.125) doing it correctly:

Copied into a field in Messages:

Opera Developer (70.0.3693.0) doing the same (also happens in every Rich Text capable application like Notes):

@leocg Restarted (the whole system), but the issue is still present.

This happens to me as well (67.0.3554.0 Dev channel, macOS).

When trying to install from the Chrome Web Store, and pushing ”Install” button in the Opera Extension page. It does nothing.

See attached screenshot.

Update: It seems that Google has removed this feature.
