I confirm the bug. It started with Opera 21. This also happens on youtube while watching playlists.

I haven't noticed any stability issues in 21. However didn't noticed any speed improvements too. But I'm missing the smooth scroll feature in 21, and none of the smooth scroll extensions I've tried are decent replacement for Opera's smooth scroll.

Opera v1. Introduced URL in the address field

Opera v12beta. Smart URL shortening in the address field

Opera 15. Short URL is the only option for showing URL in the address field

Opera 21. Groundbreaking feature. Make Opera display a site's full URL at all times in the browser's ADVANCED settings.

What's next?

Opera 25. Full URL display setting, moved to opera basic settings.

How can we not be proud of software having changelogs like this?

dvk-ru1, thanks.

That extension works great, just it is not possible to get rid of that "bm", so the search would be same like in old opera.

Is there a setting/flag/extension that can set from where opera matches typing in the address bar??

AFAIK, sources are the google prediction, the speed dial and history.

Is it possible to add to suggestions the imported bookmarks from opera prior to 15, which are imported to bookmark bar?

I know that i can import bookmarks to speed dial, but for few hundred bookmarks that is not a solution at all.

Thanks to all.
I was afraid that most of the answers will be negative.

1. Thanks for the tip for sorting. I can live with that.

(4). Doesn't work everywhere. Ex. eight click on selected text>go to web address.

Just another long time opera user (v3 or v4, don't remember exactly, but it was way back when opera was shareware) Those were the times when changelog with added features from x.xx to x.xx+1 was longer than changelog now from 15 to 20.
Opera 12.16 is (was) great, but every day rises the number of incompatible sites or sites that has something broken. The new opera is pretty featureless, so it's not a natural choice.

I'm aware that many features will never come back, and that the new opera is basically a chromium web-engine relying on extensions for (advanced?) features.

But on second thought the new opera, although crippled, is still better than competition. So now i'm in process of getting used to use the 20. I browsed the blogs, forums and other web corners, but wasn't able to find a central list for feature substitution.
I need some help from more experienced users, to find the replacement for essential (to me) features from opera 12 in the new opera.

I know that for notes i can use evernote extension.
Lastpass will replace wand. Although all the u/p are migrated from 12, i still didn't find the way how to choose from several usernames on the same site. Wand is for great for all the sites requiring loging where security was not an issue.

1. Bookmarks. I got all of them in the bar, but sorting is a mess. What is the best way (extension) for organizing bookmarks or just mimic the original bookmarks in 12?

2. Tab bar placement. Any way to get the tabs on the bottom?

3. Status bar. Anything that resembles it? Need the number of elements and opening speed.

4. Do not re-use the current tab. I like everything to open its tab, not to use the current. Some hidden option/extension?

5. Links panel.

6. Cache browser.

7. Content blocking. What is now the best content blocker, since there is not a built one in 20?

8. Search engines. Is it possible somehow to got the search fields on some bar? Or at least icons in right click pop-up?

9. Custom buttons. Any way to got some buttons for internal command/options. I need the most "enable proxy" check mark. Now is is hidden deep into menu (it was also in the 12, but there was option to bring it up)

10. Dictionary. Best way to replace the built-in dictionary search? Just to make another search or some extension?

That's all for now, it's just my second day with the new opera.

Thanks.

What features are supported for syncing in the opera 20?
Any official docs about this?
Is it only the speed dial?
