Dear Opera Team, 2 points we want to inform -
(1) we are power users and we have habbit of moving the mouse to the right-extreme corner to close Opera, but due to new design, now we have to move the mouse pointer exactly on the "Close X" button, which is very irritating

(2) Same is the issue while "Mouse Scrolling" by keeping the mouse pointer in entire "Left side" panel (entire top to bottom part). In many websites we cant scroll by keeping mouse on center of the web page bcoz the design of web-page, so we have to move the mouse to left panel and scroll, but again due to the new design, now we are not able to scroll.

Please remove the unnecessary space on all corners; it does not make much sense to use buzz words like "Modular Design" if users are not happy with such basic features missing

"Split Screen View" feature is there as "Experimental feature". To Enable it, open a new tab and go to - opera://flags. Then search for "split screen" and enable it. Restart the browser.

Then, press Ctrl and select the 2 tabs. Right-Click on the tabs and select "Create split screen".

"Inspect Element" Module - Bug/Issue -

**Note - Screenshot is attached for Reference

(1) - The "Inspect Element" module opens in White Mode even if "Dark" theme is selected in its Settings

(2) - Also, in "Opera Settings" if we have already selected "Dark Theme" and also Enabled "Force Dark Theme on pages", then the "Inspect Element" module should automatically show up in Dark Theme

@kevin-cherry Absolutely correct reply. "Modular Design" seems a fancy new word, but is very irritating even for basic tasks

@burnout426 -
Yes. Thats right. But we have our own AHK hotkey mappings for many modern web-apps, like example, if we press a certain key on keyboard, our AHK script fires "Alt+T", "Alt+G" etc.

And these "Alt" based shortcuts are already set in websites/apps, hence we cannot change them. Hence we have created customized AHK key-mappings (based on our client preferences) which send these "Alt" shortcuts.

So even after we block Alt/F1 using your above script, the "Alt Menu" and "F1" still gets triggered when our AHK script
sends "Alt+T", "Alt+G" etc.

i remember that it was working fine last year (June-2023) when i was coding something in Javascript.

But i dont remember from when it started giving this issue.

The 3 buttons on top-right of the Browser - Close button, Minimize, and the Restore button (middle one) - they are not getting highlighted when we mouse-over on them. Also, the mouse-tooltip of these buttons does not show.

Close Button not becoming "Red" when we Mouse-over.

@burnout426 - This issue was not happening for so many years, but after an update in 2023, this issue started happening.

Keyboard shortcuts in modern web-apps are working fine in all other Browsers.

Requesting Opera team to please analyze and solve this annoying issue.

@burnout426 - i already tried it. It didnt work for "Alt". Opera should give an option to disable the shortcut keys for such things which people almost never use.

In the last 5+ yrs i have never heard of anyone using "Alt" Menu or "F1" Help of Opera. I am repeating (and requesting) this again, its high time Opera should remove these hotkeys (shortcut keys).

Its more of a nuisance than a useful feature.

@leocg - I checked it today (19-Oct-2024). This issue is resolved. Thank you Opera Team.

@leocg - This issue has started happening since few days. It was working fine earlier.

@leocg - i remember i too had faced a similar kind of issue, but dont remember exactly what was that. Can u plz give me the forum link of this "window moving from scroll bar" related issue.

Opera fails to Update from Update and Recovery page. This happens very frequently. We get a notification (dot) in top-left Opera-Menu to Restart the Browser to install updates. But after restart, it still shows older version.

After that we use Update and Recovery page to manually update. Here, it downloads the update till 100%, but then it either says something like "Unable to update", or "Failed to prepare update".

Updating Opera is becoming a big issue now. This is happening since past few months.
