It feels like people who develop Opera don't use Opera in their daily lives.

This is also a problem for me. Please fix this.

Also middle mouse to close tab does not work, if you are on the black bar on the top.
And the mouse gestures don't work either.
The whole black area is unresponsive.

@adispy Nope. Does not work for me. I'll try a different computer on monday.

For the love of god, can someone fix this? It's been three months. How hard can it be?

I've reported it several weeks ago. Still haven't been fixed.

@arthur142 Only the RON one is bugged. I checked several others, and they seem fine.
It's been about a month since I've noticed the bug. Several updates have come on gone, but no fix yet.

@nekoc Opera 95 is available for offline download on Opera's website. It's currently the main link now. The have an archive of old Opera versions on their website, if you want to go further back.

@vegelund I have an MX Master with a magnetic freespin mouse wheel.
Basically I fling the wheel and it keeps going for tens/hundreds of lines.

When I don't have my mouse, I use the technique that @andrew84 mentioned before.

@clayem I don't. I move it to the absolute left. The issue remains the same though.
Anyone who uses the scroll bar is a maniac

I don't mind the look, but I do mind the unresponsive area taken by the new look.
We now have a black bar on each edge that cannot take any command.
If I move the mouse to the top of a tab I cannot close it using middle mouse, because the black bar on the top is unresponsive.
If I move the mouse to the left, and try to open a new tab by right-click and drag down, I cannon, because the black bar on the left is unresponsive.
Keep the back bars if you must, but allow actions to be taken on top of them.
