What is exact windows version you are using? You can check with winver application on windows.

@moppera yes, version 65 is current developer stream. Fix is not available in beta and stable yet, but should get there eventually.

@nikaalexandrov are you certain that you are using version with the fix? It's only available in 65.0.3454.0 or 65.0.3459.0 builds currently. And other than sync issue we have not been able to reproduce any problems with it.

Hey,
our latests developer update 65.0.3454.0 includes changes to bookmark bar behaviour. In this build after explicitly disabling bookmark bar it should not appear again even after adding bookmarks to it later. There seem to be however issue if sync is enabled and data is synchronized with build which does not contain this fix causing bookmark bar to appear after synchronization.

@jimunderscorep Thanks, updated original post.

Current status is that this issue should no longer appear, unfortunately removed Speed Dials are gone.

Another question:

• which products and versions of Opera are you using for sync?

We are currently trying to look into this issue. We have not been able to reproduce it in our environment so far. I hope you could help us with investigating it. Could you do following things:

1. Check https://sync.opera.com/web/ if your synced data is visible there
2. Check if you see any errors/warnings on opera://sync-internals
3. Check 'Sync Node Browser' tab on opera://sync-internals
4. Give us information if you have any extensions installed

We are aware of issue with update going into loop on macOS. In such case system restart usually helps to break the loop, perhaps you encountered this issue as it seems to match what you describe.

I just tried updating some random old version of Opera from ftp server and from 58.0.3135.30 version it went straight to latest which is currently 62.0.3331.5:

There is no mechanism of updating one version at a time and it should always update to latest version. Only case I could think of is when we roll out new update and you get previous version through scheduled updater first and than update manually to latest.
