@leocg I didn't take any screenshots, but my experience was identical to Andrew's. That is, the flag for redesign indicated that Enabled was the default prior to my selection of Disabled. When I restarted Opera after making the change, however, it was Disabled that was marked as the default.
Still, this is pretty trivial stuff.
@andrew84 Thank you for letting me know that the History page redesign can be disabled. I hadn't thought to check whether there was a flag. The redesign strikes me as an instance of fixing something that wasn't broken.
@pclaudel1 I'm keeping the redesigned (why???) History page open till the Search Tabs glitch gets really fixed.
@daria19 Alas, it hasn't been fixed. It happened to me yet again today at 11:08 a.m. EST.
@andrew84 Same here. Thank you for drawing attention to this very annoying quirk.
@burnout426 Thanks ever so much for your helpful advice—both comments!
I just acquired an older Canon flatbed scanner. The setup doesn't automatically detect Opera Developer as an available browser. Can anyone tell me what path to use to get scanned pdf files to open in the Developer browser?
I should perhaps add that I have Windows 11.
@leocg It has been happening on Windows 10, however, at least on my computer since the update to this version of Developer. I was experiencing crashes at least thrice daily until I spotted what appears to be the cause: opening a closed tab by using "Search tabs" in the screen's upper-right-hand corner. (N.B. Not every tab reopening precipitated a crash, but perhaps one in four did.) Note, too, that as I seldom have more than two Opera windows open at any time, overstreched browser resources seem to be ruled out as the cause.
Until a later Developer upgrade corrects this glitch, I am sticking to reopening closed tabs via History.
@thierry-kowalski Sincere thanks to you and to user "red" for cluing me in to the Flag solution. Thanks too to all of the other Opera users whose complaints about these offensive emojis persuaded the designer that he/she really goofed.
@leocg What were the "provided solutions"? With the latest update, I have been getting the same once-every-two-hour requests to update extensions, despite the fact that I haven't added any new extensions in four or five years. I'd appreciate any assistance that you can offer.
@leocg "Closing last tab seems to be causing crashes here too …"
If in this instance by "crashing," you simply mean that Opera 98.0.4732.0 is closing when the last tab is closed—i.e., rather than closing Only when you click the X in the upper-right-hand corner or use Alt-F4 on the keyboard—then I have noticed the same thing, too. If this is a feature rather than a bug, I for one am not pleased. Knowing that the browser will stay open even if I carelessly close the last tab has long been one of Opera's big positives. Happily, the current version of Opera Beta, 97.0.4719.11, still works as it should, so I'm switching my default to that until the browser-closing bug in Developer 98.0.4732.0 gets fixed.
@williama26 Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, in my case, the Menu anomaly remains even in 4732.
In both the current Opera Developer version (98.0.4725.0) and the prior one, whenever a second or subsequent window is opened, the word Menu and its accompanying dropdown fail to appear when the window opens in maximized format. It reappears, however, when the size of the window is reduced by clicking the Restore icon. Then, when that icon is clicked again to re-maximize the window, Menu and its dropdown remain and behave normally.
I have never experienced this glitch in any version of Opera before. Nor does it currently happen with either Opera Stable or Opera Beta. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

@andrew84 Hardly likely. Everything works as it should in Beta, and everything worked as it should prior to the absurd 95 "upgrade." My time is too precious to waste it in an attempt to solve a problem some self-important designer created.
As I said earlier, the redesign alone points to someone with the maturity level of a teenage girl. If problems persist or spread, I'm going to the Pale Moon browser and leave Opera to the kids.
Goodbye.
@andrew84 You frequently refer to "move to trash" but never to anything else that's supposed to be available on the Speed Dial page. Do you still have the rest of the context-menu options, whether or not you use them? Those options involve far more than just trash!
@andrew84 Windows 10. The fact that Opera 95 works fine on 8.1 ought to be considered anomalous. It would be very, very strange if cutting-edge browser developers were optimizing their product for an OS that its creator stopped supporting three or four years ago!
