You are correct, this is expected behavior in any browser. (when you paste a link, it leads to the link, when you paste a text, it searches on google).

However, in my Opera GX, the first option that 'was' being displayed, was to "search on google", which did so that when clicking enter immediately after pasting the link in the navigation bar, it was taken to the google search and not to the destination of the link.

For some reason opera reversed this, and then it went back to working correctly, I should have taken a screenshot or filmed it, I'll do that next time.

You go to all the trouble of creating a customizable browser, and blocking an option allows you to leave the browser the way the user wants it.

What's the point in that?

Why is the secondary light color lightness option locked?

Hello.

Thanks for the answer.

In this case there is nothing wrong with the URL, what happens is that when pasting the url in the address bar, opera displays just below, "floating":

• on the first line, the magnifying glass icon followed by the URL,
• and below the pure URL.

If I click on the first one, or press enter, or click outside and press enter, I'm taken to the google search.

But if I click on the second one, I'm taken to the url.
So, url is OK.

What happens is opera gx windows, is not identifying that it is a URL and opening it as soon.

U can test.

When pasting a URL into the address bar and pressing Enter, opera performs a Google search instead of opening the url.

This happens because opera displays a search suggestion in the first option.

This doesn't make sense, if a url was pasted, in the URL bar, it means that I want to access the URL.

If I wanted to do a search for this url I would open google and type the url there in the Google search field.

Actually, I did a test now,

And the link to go to the page appeared on the first line,
the link with the magnifying glass (which opens the google search) appeared on the second line.

In this way, the behavior was reversed.
When pasting the link, and pressing enter, it goes straight to the link (how should be).

I really don't know what's going on
but it seems that Opera randomly defines which action will have priority, "Access URL" or "Open browser".

There should be a way to define this to avoid this confusion, sometimes it does one thing, sometimes another.

Please can someone fix this bug?.

It is very annoying to navigate with this problem.

Today, it happened again, I went to paste the link:
https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx

(I even have the link saved in my favorites)

And the browser, instead of displaying the link in the first option, displays the search.
To access the link I have to select the last option as you can see in the attached image.

Understand that the fact that you test with the same link and the problem does not occur does not mean that the problem does not exist, as already mentioned here, the problem occurs randomly.

Is it possible that no one will take this seriously?

Another unexplained thing is, why do they limit the colors we can choose from this same option?

What's the point in creating customization options and not letting us, the users, choose the best combination.

As it is, the browser is either very dark or very light, we have no way to customize a middle ground.

Perhaps now, someone will take action to resolve this. This behavior is horrible.

And it should be taken into account, the search engine should never be the first option when inserting a link.

Whoever inserts a link in the navigation bar wants to access the link. This is obvious

When are you going to fix this?

Hello @leocg, Thanks for your reply, but no, that's not what happens. after pasting the link, sometimes opera displays the search engine at the top, and the link below, (which forces me to click on the keyboard arrow to select the link) and sometimes it displays the link already at the top. and just press enter to access the page. I couldn't detect any reason why he would do this, but as you can see it's not just me, other people are reporting the same thing. this behavior is very annoying.
