I have a custom search that has become uneditable and unable to be deleted. Any suggestions?

@dnzrzx34: Thank you!

Tabs used to collapse to fit the window. Now they expand and become scrollable.

Is it possible to get the collapsed behavior back?

Instant crash on launch (Ubuntu 20.04 x64):

Doesn't run at all on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 due to immediate crash:

So far all of these sites open to a page crash in Opera on Linux: Outlook (OWA), Zendesk, YouTube, (some) Google search results, Twitter, Tweetdeck, Google maps, (some) Amazon shopping, Netflix, Google Messages, Facebook, and more.

The only things I can reliably view in Opera are Gmail and GitHub.

It would be nice (read: great user experience) if there was a ticket or something I could watch so I could know when Opera was usable on Linux again. Anyone have a ticket number so I can grep the changelogs at at least?

YouTube among many other sites are entirely unusable due to page crashes.

Ubuntu 20.04

Still crashing on various pages like YouTube (even with a new profile). This has been happening for at least the last 3 builds. Is anyone looking into this?

OS: Ubuntu 20.04 x64

Constant (and instant) page crashes on many pages just like previous version.

A few samples:

https://messages.google.com/web
https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/
YouTube

OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Just confirmed. Brand new profile with 1 tab (opera-developer --profile-directory="$(mktemp -d opera.XXXXXX)") immediately crashes the page trying to load Android Messages - https://messages.google.com/web/

Ubuntu 20.04

@fearphage: To clarify, all my crashes are PAGE crashes and not application crashes.

Many sites are entirely unusable since I cannot load the pages.

This build crashes pages very frequently. It happens on lots of pages. As soon as the page loads (sometimes during the loading process), it crashes.

https://messages.google.com/web/conversations
Outlook Web Access (OWA)
YouTube
Twitch

OS: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)

@burnout426 In my previous testing I was only hitting ctrl 1-3. None of them work.

After you mentioned it, I tried ctrl-9 and it jumps to the 6th tab. ctrl-4 jumps to the first tab. Seems that fix upset the offset of things. So at least I have a workaround for now.

@leocg Just clicked reset all a few times. Seems like that was not the issue.

FYI while trying this repeatedly, I noticed something odd. When I type ctrl-1 (or any of those shortcuts), I noticed the title bar changes and then changes back very quickly. It's much too quick for me to read, but it never switches tabs.

@ralf-brinkmann Linux x64 (Ubuntu 20.04)

For several builds, the keyboard shortcuts to jump to the first N tabs have been broken.

Ctrl + 1 used to jump to the first tab. The same for 2-9. Was this removed intentionally?

Video hasn't worked in Opera on Linux in what feels like 3+ months. Known issue? Is there a workaround? Things work find in Vivaldi.

I see that you can now open windows on Linux in Unity again without it crashing. Thanks for the fix.

Is it possible to point me to where this is in the changelog... if it is there?

The problem is that the version of libffmpeg.so that Opera is using is incompatible with the Chrome version that it's based on. You can see the version of Chrome that Opera is based on here or from the command line:

strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-developer/opera-developer | awk -F / '/Chrome\/[0-9]/ { print $2 }'

From Ubuntu 17.10 64-bit, this is what I used and it worked for me. Your mileage may vary.

curl -s http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/ | awk -F '"' 'match($0, /href="(chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_'$(strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-developer/opera-developer | awk -F / '/Chrome\/[0-9]/ { print $2 }')'-0ubuntu.*'$(lsb_release -rs)'.*'$([ "$(uname -i)" = 'x86_64' ] && echo 'amd64' || echo 'i386')'[^"]+)">/, result) { print "http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/" result[1] }'

This will spit out the URL of the package you need based on the version of Chrome opera-developer is using. It returned the following in my instance:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_67.0.3396.18-0ubuntu1~ppa1~17.10.1_amd64.deb

I grabbed this file and extracted the libffmpeg.so file and replaced Opera's version. That looked like this:

cd $(mktemp -d /tmp/meh.XXXXXXX) 
curl -sO http://ppa.launchpad.net/saiarcot895/chromium-beta/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_67.0.3396.18-0ubuntu1~ppa1~17.10.1_amd64.deb                        
ar p chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_67.0.3396.18-0ubuntu1\~ppa1\~17.10.1_amd64.deb data.tar.xz | tar xJf - ./usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so --strip 4
sudo mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-developer/libffmpeg.so{,.bak}
sudo mv libffmpeg.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-developer/libffmpeg.so

I closed and restarted Opera and H264 video playback was restored.
