@leocg Apologies.

@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.

@donq Scaling is always set to 100%.

@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!

Despite three separate reports, the context menus on the Start Page (i.e., Speed Dial page) are still disabled. It's been weeks now! Tiles cannot be edited nor can they be trashed. For instance, with all context options disabled, the only way that a site can now be opened in Private Mode is by opening a private window directly from the Menu. The only way that a URL or site name can now be changed or edited is by doing it in Bookmarks.

Even more annoying is that the bottom row of tiles no longer clears the bottom of the screen when the scroll hits bottom. This is something else that was screwed up in this update to Opera 95. Does no one pay attention to these matters?

Other things are going wrong as well. For the first time ever today, my malware program, GridInSoft, thought Developer was dangerous malware. Also, when I tried to shop at IKEA, it refused log-in via Developer and repeatedly told me that I was a Robot, even when AdBlocker and Privacy Badger were disabled! Same thing happened with Beta, too. Stable is still OK, however.

Obviously, someone is trying to drive us to use Microsoft Edge. Who, besides the US government, hates privacy?

@andrew84 Until a few weeks ago, the look in the attached image was nonexistent. Prior to then, what a tile represented was immediately obvious. Now, except for a single image in the second row, it looks like wallpaper for a teenage girl's room. Besides, as I wrote earlier, there are no longer any functioning context menus for editing tiles. This entire design is an insult to serious users.

The more I have to look at the redesigned Start Page, the more I dislike it. It's just so pastel-ridden and so damn "girly-looking" in its fussiness. Things that looked and worked just fine have been screwed around with for no discernible reason other than that someone wanted to change the "decor." Opera is supposed to be a browser for grown-up computer users, not frustrated interior decorators.

I'm going back to Opera Beta until someone with good sense takes charge at headquarters. When that goes pastel, then it's back to Stable. Then goodbye.

@andrew84 Thank you! I apologize for the misunderstanding.

@andrew84 My situation is worse. Ever since this update took effect, when I right-click on a tile in Start Page, I get no context menu. When I click on the settings icon in the upper-right-hand corner of a tile, I also get no context menu. When I followed the suggestion to make the flag #start-page-redesign visible, I found that no such flag existed under opera://flags. Now, the only way I can edit an icon or trash it is to open Bookmarks. This is not terribly onerous, but surely it doesn't count as an improvement or upgrade!

What's up?

I am using both Opera Beta and Developer. For years I have relied on the shortcut Ctrl+B to add whatever page I was on to Speed Dial when I thought it would be useful to do so. At some point in the recent past, this option was eliminated from Developer, though it's still active in Beta (for now anyway).

Does anyone know if there is a way to reactivate the Ctrl+B shortcut?

Passphrase sign-in window has disappeared in 90.0.4450.0. Without the window I can't synch passwords to another device.
