Hey, what do you want, you have now awesome animations! sigh ...

I just woke up and my system too. Opera was sluggish and even bogged down the mouse movement, when minimizing it was ok. So I closed it.

After restarting Opera all tabs where gone. Not that much, maybe 50? I thought CTRL Shift T will bring them back, but I get a crash window, sometimes Opera just restarts.

All extensions got disabled, also great.

I found a page describing how to get them back from the Sessions file, the problem is that there is none before the crash. I looked at the session and tab files and extracted the URLs out of them and found only a handful of old tabs. Great backup, glad I have multiple files with basically nothing I need. Always good to have! I searched all binary files for my tabs, but nothing.

I had no crash reports enabled as it looks like, so nothing to provide.

To be fair: at least the session information seems to be intact, there was no need to login into the services after the restart.

Now the only reason why I use Opera is gone. If the workplaces are not working reliable I can also go back to use chrome. Sure, I will have a cluttered tabbar but at least my tabs will not vanish.

I'm really pissed.

@ledsalesoz I just found out that I also lost tabs in workspaces without crashing. My main workspace was nearly empty after another suspend/resume.

In one workspace I had some Opera forum tabs open: all gone.

The rounded corner stuff really looks aged but I can tolerate it, even the dark purple bg color ... looks horrible but ok ... I really like that the active tab is now much better visible.

But the animation ... holy !@#$, It made me so angry that I had to open an account here to add my rant. And I'm still angry every time I see it. I'm not sure how long my heart can take this before I stop using Opera, seriously.

Please awesome Opera developers make an option to disable all animations. Every time they come up I'm getting angry and losing my train of thought. On a remote desktop it is even worse, it looks like Opera has seizures. Not only the workplace switcher, also the rest of the animations, the tooltips for example.

@vegelund It is not about that. Sometimes you just keep tabs open that you will work on later - as a reminder.

It is - at least for me - just super annoying that I have to re-sort all my tabs to the correct workplaces from a backup. Or is there a backup that keeps all tabs on the correct workspaces? Bookmarks are something else and will not help at all if you use tabs as a 2do list/reminder.

And there is no excuse that this still happens nor that this slipped through QA - again. Or that the tab backup from Opera is useless as it seems.

You have to try harder to blame the users for this. It seems you have a different workflow as other users, don't assume everyone works like you. Or you are just trolling.

@vegelund
Why are you arguing what users are doing? That has nothing to do with the issue. The last time I lost all tabs I had just around 40 open and not a single one was used for illegal activities (whatever that should be). Unbelievable.

The largest workspaces I use: "youtube" with up to 20 tabs with stuff I might want to see later or again or have more information about whatever I'm watching (like wikipedia, homepages, discogs). Another one I use for buying stuff, all large shops for direct access, sometimes a lot of pages are open when I search for stuff or want to compare it, find the official specs, benchmarks, looking for howtos ... that adds up pretty fast. Overall I guess I had opened 100 tabs before the crashes, maybe sometimes a little bit more but not much. After the 2nd crash I just re-opened the most important ones and it is really annoying to fear that this will happen again.

And before some answers like:
"But You Can Do This With Bookmarks!"

Yes, and you don't have to tell me what you think is the best way. I (and many others as it seems) do it differently as you and for them/me this is a more efficient workflow. And: of course I bookmark pages, but having everything you want directly open is much more convenient. Bookmarks are the 2nd level for pages I might need later again, often much later. All tabs are open for "now" and it is easier to find pages that way, at least for me. The open tabs have also a much better visual history for me.

@vegelund your are clearly not getting the reason or advantage of having the tabs open all the time. You can't compare this to bookmarks or the "watch later" list. Not at all.

Nevertheless, Opera is broken and it doesn't matter if you lose 10 or 1000 tabs or if you can use some other technology to mitigate the loss.

I updated to 100.0.4815.54 all tabs survived the forced reboot I had last night.

Happy and still morning drunken I killed Opera with taskmanager: all tabs gone. The one I could get with ctrl shift t where a strange collection and not all as far I could see - maybe I had to go back further but there where already enough useless tabs opened in opera ... not really an option.

So, still not fixed for me.

I just needed to restart my system because of on update - again all tabs gone. I was already on the latest version which according to the changelog had some fixes for this as far I can see.

Opera is not reliable at all at the moment as it seems. Post a blog entry that stupid decisions where made, QA was not working (or probably ignored) and roll back the software. Never ever bring the shitty animations or new design back. Think about how to prevent shit like this to happen, whatever you are doing right now is not working and maybe the wrong people are making the decsisions.

That would really help to gain trust again.

Blablabla, another useless rant. Yes, I'm aware of that but it should also show how pissed I am and how important Opera is for me.
