I have been experiencing some problems with inputing from the keyboard directly into Opera. I can copy and paste ok, but anything I type in is getting letters and numbers swapped or keys stop working. This topic's title is an example of what is happening.

The only thing I can think of is that there is some sort of driver mis-match between the browser, Windows 10 and this laptop. The laptop is a European model Toshiba Tecra, Windows is the 17763.615 build, and Opera is 62.0.3331.99.

I dug deeper into the drivers:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\i8042prt.sys (10.0.17763.1, 108.00 KB (110,592 bytes), 2018-09-15 2:28 AM)

This is the only app on the laptop with which I have experienced this problem. The OS works as well as Windows can be expected to do, and I use it primarily for work.

I run AV scans daily, have a reliable malware hunter app and don't use it for games.

Somehow one of the myriad of updates between Opera and the OS, something got broken. I have two desktops running the same OS build and Opera version and have not had any problems. Or at least I don't think I have. Hard to tell when you don't use a bbowseb for a print server or game platform.

Anyone got any constructive suggestions?

Ok, so it's not just me thinking that the leadership at Opera has lost their minds.

This latest version has taken the best browser on and iPhone and destroyed it. There is not one function that works like the previous version, and to add some salt to that injury, we now have a newsfeed like Facebook and other soulless sites like MSNBC and Microsoft that spew useless information (and it doesn't drive my imagination).

How do I roll back to the previous version so I can go back to using a well thought out and fully functional browser I've appreciated for so many years ?

I would be deeply saddened and disappointed if this is the future for this last true web browser
