OK so after more than 2 weeks with little help from the powers that be and finding myself getting my hand slapped and banned for a day LOL (and a post edited for no apparent reason other than what looks like an attempt to sabotage the message content) just for asking for help and trying to get clear info from some ??? for asking for clarification which others seem to have had as well.
Appears many others seemed to agree that those tab previews or tooltips are a nuisance. I was finally able to find out how to turn them off.
If anyone's interested or curious about how to disable Fast Tab Tooltips enter the following in the address bar
opera://flags
Do a search for fast tabs in the "search flags" text box upper right corner and disable the Fast Tab item (yellow highlight).
