Really, is it not possible to disable a Menu popping out at the press of a single key (which happens to be the key that forms many shortcuts)? Do the devs realize that their insistence in this useless and annoying feature drives us away?

I am using the latest Opera version (77.0.4054.203 (x86_64)) on macOS 11.4. When I quit the app - either by command+Q or from the menu option - the window closes and reopens after 3 seconds. If I quit it again, then it quits for good. What is causing this? Are the browser extensions to blame perhaps (I am also using some Chrome extensions)? Note that this behaviour is evident for about 3-5 months. Before that, quitting was working properly.

Not sure if it is related, but Opera also prevents me from shutting down the macbook. Even with 10 apps running, when I press shut down they obey and quit so the macbook shuts down. If an Opera window is active, then it doesn't obey and stops the shut down midway. This "midway" thing causes secondary problems that I do not have to explain here.

Any ideas?

OK, the ALT key is commonly used to open menus on Windows. However, Opera is supposed to be a cross-platform browser. I am on the verge of switching back to Firefox or Chrome just because of this annoying "shortcut".

Interesting. Do you know approximately how long will this developer version take to roll out?

Same here. Macbook pro 16 2019 (Big Sur, i9, 8gb Radeon Pro 5500M).

Every now and then the display of the webpage freezes and I only see white. Opera does not freeze altogether; I can still change tabs etc.

The problem got Really worse when I connected an external monitor, opted for screen mirroring, and connected to a BigBlueButton meeting. It was basically unusable then; I had to switch to Safari for this.

@leocg You keep telling us that removing the Alt functionality is not possible. Why is it not possible for a dev to remove this, given that many users struggle with it and not many make use of it?

@xtecee Same here. Unfortunately, they keep ignoring us on this. I guess there is a 1 strong-minded dev attached to having Alt revealing a menu keeping away hundreds of users.
