So there is an update. But this bug wasn't fixed. Why?

@burnout426
I will do that. But the one that I have now, saying it is 96.0.4693.58, was definitely downloaded from your servers.

@burnout426
I reinstalled the software as you instructed, now it says it is 96.0.4693.50.
Preliminary, no tab jumping in this. I will continue using and testing this.

One strange thing that happened at least twice, was that when I opened the opera://update/ page when I wanted to download and install the latest version via that fucntion, some separate autonomic background update fetching software that probably is started at the same time when I open my computer, intervened, and it seemed to hijack the process when opera://update/ page said that it finished downloading the new version, just before I got to the restart the browser message and button in that opera://update/ screen, this other process ran by that separate autonomic background software did the update before that and overrode the process in the opera://update/ page, or so it seemed. It didn't look normal, when remembering how the process normally looks when using the opera://update/ page.

Please fix this issue quickly. It's very annoying and laborious to use this software right now with this bug.

No, it says 96.0.4693.58 and that's a fact what's on my screen when going to opera://about/

Hi,
is still have major problems with this,
my tabs still keep jumping to the right even though I have the latest update and Opera's check for updates function says that my browser is up to date. Please fix this issue for every computer. I have Windows 10 Pro 21H2 19044.2604 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4190.0, 64-bit operating system x64-based processor. I tried reinstalling the browser, but it didn't help. Please don't drop the repair procedure yet, keep trying to fix this for everyone. This tab jumping problem makes this software very laborious, nerve-racking and time-consuming to use. I would like to continue using this browser, but if this tab jumping keeps occuring constantly I simply can't. Please continue your efforts trying to fix this problem.

Please send this notice somewhere and keep up your efforts.

But I must add to this, that I have Norton 360 (full version) and IObit Malware Fighter, AdwCleaner and SUPERAntiSpyware (free versions) on my computer, and I have updated and used those constantly, so it's unlikely that I would have viruses, trojans or something like that on my computer. And when I downloaded the OperaSetup from here: https://www.opera.com/download
some days ago and reinstalled it then, it likewise said that I had Opera 96.0.4693.58. But when I uninstalled the software couple of hours ago, downloaded the OperaSetup again and reinstalled it as instructed, it now says it is 96.0.4693.50 and seems to work normally now.

@burnout426
No, not once have I used any Norton procedure to update my Opera browser. I've always used OperaSetup from https://www.opera.com/download
or the update page
opera://update/
, mainly the last one.
And what I said in the "One strange thing that happened" message, that separate autonomic background update fetching software which overrode the process in the opera://update/ page, seemed to be an autonomic Opera background application, everything hinted to that and nothing told anything other.
