Looks like Opera may have moved to remove the title bar from the latest version. I'm cool with that but I have no menus.

My system settings keep the application menus in the title bar of that application (as opposed to the Mac style of keeping them at the top of the screen). Since Opera has no title bar (and I'm assuming this is by design based on some other changes) there is no place for the menus to exist. This would be just fine had they included an O menu (as they do in Windows), but they didn't.

Solutions?

@leocg The forum itself limits how rapidly I can post new items (comments, replies, &c) telling me it's because I'm a new user.

@cirio Does yours have an O menu? Because mine (on Ubu 16.04) doesn't.

@sgunhouse You see my conundrum. Know anyone who could fix this so I don't have to sit idle between actions?

@jimunderscorep I'm indifferent to the look. However, without the O menu I have no menus. That is clearly unintentional (read: a bug).

Eight months after my original post and still no change. No menus. No O menu. Clearly a major bug. Worst published mistake from Opera since I started using it in, what?, 1998? Quite appalling.

@ikuyanov I was able to confirm this auto-raise behavior is connected to the "Sloppy" focus setting (on Ubuntu 18.04.6) with "Raise Windows When Focused" turned "Off". Turning "Raise..." "On" also raises Opera windows but does so without the delay observed (correct behavior) in other windows raising.

I have confirmed this is true across several versions of Ubuntu (16,04, 18.04, and 20.04 plus the studio Ubuntu 20.04). It's a giant pain in the ass. Ridiculous this hasn't been addressed over several version releases of Opera itself.

If I have two windows in close approximation and my mouse passes over them both they will get in this tug-o-war for focus and I'll have to kill Opera to regain control over it.

It's removed more. I have nothing remaining in my Speed Dials for two machines and maybe a dozen bookmarks remaining. So, really, more like 99.9% of all of my bookmarks have been discarded. Not in the trash; just gone. Over 20 years of curated bookmarks in Opera.

So, I'm just screwed then? Anybody?

@jimunderscorep Thanks.

I have Opera on several machines. Lately Opera has not been staying connected to sync. For the second time sync has remove most of my bookmarks and speed dial entries. Previously I had a machine that was unsync'd and could use that in lieu of a backup. This time though looks like sync has attacked them all. Any help?

@oldrivers I have no menus. I can move back and forth from full screen in many ways. I need menus to get to other functions which live in menus.

@jimunderscorep No doubt. But when did they give up on us?

A year. Pathetic. What happened?
