The German Website "https://www.elster.de/eportal/login/softpse" is crashing as soon as you load a "Zertifikatsdatei" in with the search button. You can't even type the passwort beneath, because Opera crashes. Some Crash Reports have already been sent. Had to revert to Version 102.0.4880.56 for now. Waiting for another update or Major New Version 103.

@burnout426: Ah I see, thanks for the explanation.

Thumbnails now get a small pix wide stripe at the bottom which is grey. Why? Looks off and annoying. Reverting to Opera stable 130.0.5847.92. Hope that gets fixed...

@opera-qa-team: Thanks for the reply. As an update to RNA-3261: Even with large files like NVIDIA drivers, the notification dot is missing despite the popup showing 'Download complete'. It seems very inconsistent. Waiting for a fix. Thanks again.

Hello Opera Team,

I am writing to provide feedback regarding the latest UI changes in Opera One (Version: 131.0.5877.24).

In previous versions, there was a very helpful small purple notification dot (a mini-circle) on the top-right of the download arrow icon whenever a download was completed. This allowed users to see at a glance that their file was ready without having to click the icon or wait for the pop-up.

In the current version, this indicator is gone. Currently, there is no visual feedback on the toolbar icon itself after a download finishes. This is a significant downgrade in terms of usability and "Quality of Life."

My request:
Please bring back the notification dot or provide a toggle in the settings to re-enable "Download Completion Indicators" on the toolbar icon. It was a subtle but essential part of the workflow.

Is this a known bug in the current build, or was this a deliberate design choice?

Me again

Hi! Based on your screenshot, if it's not a standard pinned tab, here are three likely causes and how to fix them:

1. "On Startup" Settings
   Google might be set as a static startup page in addition to your normal session.

Go to opera://settings/onStartup.

Check if "Open a specific page or set of pages" is selected and if Google is listed there.

If so, remove the entry or switch back to "Retain tabs from previous session".

2. Modified Shortcut Target
   Sometimes the URL is accidentally added to the Opera shortcut itself.

Right-click your Opera shortcut (on Desktop or Taskbar) and select Properties.

Look at the "Target" field. It should end with opera.exe". If there is a URL (like https://www.google.com) behind the quotes, delete it.

3. Corrupt Session Files
   If a session file is bugged, it might "freeze" tabs and force them to reopen every time.

Go to opera://about to find your Profile path.

Close Opera completely.

Navigate to that folder and delete the "Sessions" subfolder. (Note: This will clear all currently open tabs, but it usually fixes persistent "ghost" tabs).

Bonus tip: Since Opera 131 uses Tab Islands, check if that Google icon is actually the start of a collapsed "Island." Try right-clicking the icon and selecting "Separate from Island" or "Close Tab Island."

Hope this helps!

Try a clean install. Otherwise try a previous Opera Version.

Never had such a behaviour.

If it happens again and again, just file a bug-report and send it to Opera. Maybe you can test it with another PC or Laptop, then at least you know it is your special configuration.

Hope a dev answers your post soon directly, I'm also interested in this one.

Could also be a corrupt installation of the OS, so that TEMP-files mess up in the background. But better let the devs speak for themselves...

Maybe the first is just a pinned Google-Tab from a previous session? Try unpinning it, then close it. Try a restart. Then it should be gone.

Otherwise it seems like a bug, if it is not a pinned tab.

Fullscreen black crush / incorrect gamma in Opera 130 (Windows 11 HDR ON, NVIDIA RTX 40 series)
I noticed a regression in Opera 130:
YouTube windowed mode = correct black levels
YouTube fullscreen mode = heavy black crush (too dark)
This only happens when ANGLE uses D3D11 (default).
Workaround:

• Setting opera://flags → ANGLE graphics backend → D3D9 fixes the issue completely.
• OpenGL is not available in Opera 130.
  System:
• Windows 11
• HDR always ON
• NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super
  Looks like a swapchain / HDR tone‑mapping issue in the D3D11 ANGLE path.
  Other Chromium browsers (Chrome/Edge) do not show this problem.
  Please check — fullscreen video should not change black levels.
  Thanks!

YouTube has a white flashing window when opening in a new tab. Really annoying. Reverting to Opera 128 stable until it's fixed.

Thanks to "tastodd" and "leocg" for the quick replies!

Now in the evening (maybe after a restart of Opera - i opened it, closed it and reopened) the new design for history is visible.

Looks damn f****** cool! Well done!

Just wanted to let you know... the corresponding flag is on default which is "enabled".

Thanks guys

I think I don't have the new redesigned history page, after updating to ver 122.0.5643.24. Could you please take a look at the screenshots and tell me if it's right? I don't see any new design compared to previous stable build of ver 122. Thanks in advance!
