@andrew84: All it takes is to change the event from mouse down to mouse click. But they won't do it; they don't care.

@mehrzads: also the miniplayer is mispositioned
also Soundcloud has been removed from the player.
also the tab tooltip flickers when the mouse pointer is at the bottom of the tab.

everything is broken in this new version.
opera crashed when I try to open file dialog from a side bar window
sidebar window disappears when I change languages using Win+Space
the miniplayer is not dragable
the miniplayer is not always on top
moving the left scrollbar when maximized drags the entire window
the webpage window is much smaller than the browser window as if the browser window has a 400px right padding

Trying to open one of the side panels (ChatGPT/Telegram/...) causes crash sometimes

The new "new tab" buttons are an aesthetic downgrade.

Literally anything that tries to play video causes the page to crash. Opera has become completely unusable in the new update. (Zorin OS 17.3)

Instagram page crashes; dropbox video page crashes.

Aren't you gonna add soundcloud back in?

I think in addition to video animated background, you should implement custom fragment shaders like some of these beautiful ones implemented in https://www.shadertoy.com

@andrew84 Sorry my memory is bad but I remember it's been there for a long time.

They must have patched it with an ad hoc solution. If you try to scroll the easy setup or a pdf file it still doesn't work even on Windows.
