@ikuyanov thanks for letting me know! It is good news. Maybe I will look into opera again in the future. This was a deal breaker for me so I moved on to vivaldi

@fabricen Add to this the inability to handle non-ascii characters (specifically CJK) consistently without resorting to the dreaded rectangles. Also, add the spotty restore of tabs on restart. Opera sometimes forgets all of the new tabs from the last day.
All complex software has bugs and things which do not work the way you would expect. Adding features is more fun than fixing bugs, improving performance, and polishing functions. Is there a publicly visible list of known issues?

@aglupus I have made the move to Vivaldi. It was a sad day since I've been using Opera as my primary browser on linux for more than 15 years. But, I've exported my bookmarks as html and imported them into Vivaldi without a hitch.

Focus follows pointer without auto-raise is essential to my way of working. I never thought that this feature would be the final deal breaker of Opera. Thanks for all of the excellent years of browsing!

@morckx Bummer!
I am considering two options. Rolling back to a version before this bug was added and just moving totally to vivaldi. The second option is looking better if it also salves the loosing tabs on restart issue and/or losing the ability to display Japanese (on any asian character set) after running for a while.

What was the last version where this auto-raise was not present?

xfce and opera 80.0.4170.72
This is really annoying. I have auto-raise on hover de-selected. No other programs do this. When opera pops up a window and you overshoot the scrollbar a and drift into the main window, the popup gets buried under the main window. Not cool opera. Not cool.
Clearly this is a deliberate choice and has been an issue for over a month.
