@Mlipka Well, yeah, I hadn't thought of that. Just figured it was included w/o needing a setting. Strangely, that's left out of the instructions Opera and others post. Thanks!

@leocg I wrote because that hasn't worked so far. I hold Ctrl and click on two tabs, now both white. Then no matter where I click down, one of the tab highlights is lost and there's no "Create Split Screen."

Win 11, Opera One. I have no sidebar and no cmd key, and am stuck figuring how how to split the screen. The instructions seem to say to drag a tab either to the right or left part of the screen and something will open to indicate split screen to drop it into. I'm not seeing any such thing and dropping simply opens up the tab in another window. What am I missing?

I see in the new 129 Stable 's Print Preview module, Scale has been changed to a Default or Custom drop down. I think it'd be better to show the last setting upfront, rather than buried, so users don't make a mistake.

I also wish that after so many decades it would include a '1' as the default under the Pages options, something that has been standard in Windows programs for a long time.

Also, after logging into these comments, the message implies that user will be brought back to this page showing logged in, but it doesn't. One has to refresh the page, but know to copy the typed comment first.

I wrote about something annoying about searches on some pages a good while back, and the problem still pops up: the page does not move to the first search result and others after it. At the following page, I did a Ctl-F search for 'stroke.' It shows two results, but the page doesn't move; I have to scroll down to find them.

@opera-qa-team: I hadn't checked, but doing so now, everything asked for in that top search bar runs on and on, e.g., banana, broccoli crowns and tuna. Safeway's twin, Albertson.com, responds correctly and quickly.

For some reason, a search for cantaloupe or cantaloupe melon runs on and on at Safeway.com with Opera, but not other browsers or even at Safeway's twin, Albertson's. This has been going on for some time. https://www.safeway.com/shop/search-results.html?q=cantaloupe melon&tab=products

Opera 125.0.5729.15 In a private FB group, I got a PM, where the choices are Block / Delete / Accept. At least the Accept button doesn't respond. I had to switch to visting the site in Edge.

@Opera-QA-Team Website fixed it

Win 11 Pro x64, 25H2. This release is not handling the top articles on the home page at fasterskier.com correctly, cutting them off the upper half of the images. Look fine in Edge, Chrome, FF.

At the site below, in Opera I can't get rid of the strong password. Works with Edge.

@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.
