@sgrandin Appears so far to have been fixed with update 122.0.5643.92. Thanks,

@sgrandin I realize that I didn't say...This problem arises after opening a new tab, where the cursor goes to the address field and the user expects to be able to type what they want, replacing the "smart" entry with what's typed.

Still type one thing in the address field and Opera puts in something entirely different from memory, just working off the first letter typed. Didn't work this way until just a couple of releases ago. Constant problem.

@leocg Yes, I'm aware of that history. Just seems odd, since rolling back doesn't that hard, either from scrolling down the developers' page or via a simple search, "Opera previous versions," leading to a thread here that shows https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/

@Opera-QA-Team Thank you. Before you posted, I filed a bug report: BS-103724. I supplied a quasi-example, showing what Opera put in and mentioning in the text what I had typed.

Definitely, just one letter will do it. It's one of those things where it was relatively seamless before and so I can't remember for sure how it worked. By my vague recollection is that as the typing started, Opera would insert something highlighted in the Address field, but if one kept typing the latter would be replaced by the user's text. If so, that's what is often not happening now.

Run an update scanner and, depending on how it decides what needs updating, it's apt to see previous versions of programs, such as Opera, that haven't been uninstalled or the version number folders deleted. Why aren't Opera's? UCheck picks up on file names and noticed that in Users...\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default, there are a few version folders still present. Why are they still there?

@sgrandin said in Opera 122:

"Smart" fill-in in the Address field

How can one file a bug report w/o a video or screenshot?

Is the "Smart" fill-in in the Address field Opera's doing or Windows (11)? There have been updates of both within the past week, so I'm not sure which controls, but am guessing Opera. The problem is that during the past very few days, when I type a search term or short URL, then look up at the address bar, what's showing has absolutely nothing to do with what I typed, except for the first couple of letters. And what's entered is not even highlighted, which would make it easier to get rid of. Since some two letter combinations, such as "in," are common to many possibilities, I'm guessing the system is putting up the last thing in memory. For others less common, such as "fa," it's less of a problem. This erroneous auto fill-in happens numerous times a day and is really annoying -- and it's new in the quantitative degree that it's occurring. In Settings, I have all AI and Enhanced Address Bar settings disabled, thus I assume it's coming from somewhere else.

@leocg Opera One

I've copied and exported my Speed Dial from my Win 10 desktop, and imported it into a Win 10 laptop. "Imported" shows on the Bookmarks bar. In Settings, I've opened Bookmarks, with Speed Dial being in the list (screenshot) Now what's to do to make that imported file the Speed Dial?

Win 10, 118.0.5461.60. I've noticed a problem with Find (Ctr-F) for some time. It's been difficult, if not impossible, to figure out which result is being highlighted or referred to by the number up top. Here's is an example. I clicked on the top of the page, so the search should start from there, at least as far as I know. Instead, the first one down the page shows as 18 of 86. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/2833370?guestAccessKey=ebe9de18-c4e8-4637-b2a2-0855c2a93870&adv=000003761489

@daria19 If it's turned on in flags, it shows when a link is copied, and for the length of time set in Top Toast, unless one clicks on the pop up or thereabouts. It seems to have been reestablished to a default of on and 8 seconds with version 180....41. Not desired.

@burnout426: Thanks! Now if I can just remember the bookmark...

@daria19 When a link is copied. On the developers site, someone reminded me: opera://flags (Top Toast)

Is there a way to stop the "Link Copied" pop up? I thought I had, but I'm forgetting how and it's back with this version.

118.0.5461.41 How does one get rid of the "link copied" pop up? I don't need it and it sits for a long time on top of the where I need to look. Thanks,

@pilis00 Now it does, thanks.

Site doesn't scroll in Opera, but ok in Chrome: https://sporked.com/article/best-frozen-indian-food/

If one doesn't use the sidebar, is there a way to the music player?

Win 10, Opera 111.0.5168.61
I just noticed that I can no longer highlight and copy article titles or text on Yahoo's home page, except when it's something like an ad or "Buying Advice." I don't know if that's Opera or Yahoo, but I've been able to do so for a long time. Something change? I tried the Web Highlights extension (not on Opera's extensions page), but it didn't work.
