No problem here either? W10 64 bit.

No! Just speed dial tabs all along the bar?

Correct! And I cannot figure out why this happens?

Well , Opera 53 does add speed dial tabs to the top bar seemingly at random for me? There is no action on my part that would explain why this happens, I use a speed dial icon to switch to a saved site (any site that is saved as a speed dial) and once today and several times yesterday and once or twice last week, multiple speed dial tabs appear on the top bar?

Sometimes Opera 53 adds up to 30 speed dial tabs to the bookmark bar without any action from me, I then have to delete all of them individually before I can continue working?
Anyone got a solution to this problem please?

I run the home version of Windows 10, and there has been no major update to my system for some time, but it could be related to the Creators update (about a month ago) as this problem has only been present since then? It's a minor irritation that I can live with, but it would be nice if it were fixed!

When you load Opera 47.0 the speed dial colours are wrong, some are changed to different colours and others look washed out. It takes a screen refresh to correct the colours, but after browsing a few sites, the wrong colours are back and you have to refresh the screen again to correct them?
I think I read some time ago that this was a known issue, but I cannot find the post? So does anyone know when this niggling problem will be fixed please?

Sorry I meant to write 36!

Just to update those who helped me with this problem:
Installed Opera 32 and my (wife's) bookmarks and speed dials were copied over successfully. tested the new version and ALL sites can be accessed without problems from speed dial!
So my wife is happy again, and I get to have supper!
Thank you all for your help!

PS: Removed Opera 12.18 with no problems, everything is back to normal!

I'll give it a try!
