Possibly due to a new mouse which I accidentally right-click with quite frequently, although I cannot deliberately recreate this issue:
In Linux Mint, when using the vertical scroll-bar, Opera may unmaximise (like the problem in recent months) but there's also a green overlay over the right half of the screen, like a selection area. I clear the overlay by restarting Cinnamon (Alt+F2 then r).

@burnout426 "Set custom image" shows but had no effect.
Solved: Easy Files was the culprit. A custom image can be set from those displayed by Easy Files, but not when following its "Show all files" link. Temporarily disabling Easy Files and navigating to the custom image file works, as does copying the file and selecting it from the clipboard within Easy Files. Debian release.

@burnout426 that worked, thanks, but now I cannot set a custom image (back on the Speed Dial).

RE: Opera 119.0.5497.70 Stable updateBlogs
I cannot edit the location for a local file, linked as a Speed Dial. Cancel is the only option given. It would be helpful if properties for the current custom image, especially location, were provided. I'm using the Debian release.

RE: Workspace Tab CounterOpera add-ons
@pu239: Hi, the colours for the v1.2 (via Github) don't work too well for dark theme without forced dark pages. Generally, I would prefer grey text, to match the sidebar icons, but it's not an extension that needs to be used frequently, I guess, so that's a minor issue. Thanks again.

RE: Workspace Tab CounterOpera add-ons
@pu239 I'm not seeing a lag when clicking on extensions. There was with the enhanced address bar feature, recently, but it's back to normal for me.
I use the dark theme and the display is fine (white text, black background) with my choice of "Force dark mode on pages" from the Easy setup link in the address bar. If dark mode is not forced, then your extension's display of the workspaces and tab counts will be invisible, unless moused over to select.
With the light theme, the text is black over a light grey background.

RE: Workspace Tab CounterOpera add-ons
Many thanks, using on Opera One. The only problem seems to be if it's pinned to the taskbar, which stops the hide/reveal of pinned extensions functioning. But, as I have many pinned extensions already, having it on the sidebar is fine.

Quite frequently on Twitter/X, when I click on a post to read its thread, a post a few positions away will open , instead.

Debian update 118.0.5461.104 today, 12th May.
First crash after not much more than an hour. -
RE: Opera 118.0.5461.83 Stable updateBlogs
For the past month or so I've experienced crashes several times per day, sometimes they seem to be timed hourly.
Crash logging is enabled.

@pilis00 I have a BackInTime backup running, which is quite resource-heavy. I opened a new tab in Opera, clicked in the address bar and counted to 20 without the Better Address Bar, Enhanced appearing, so I closed the tab. With subsequent opening of new tabs, the BABE appears instantly. Debian build.

Correct changelog link, please.
Will we ever get conversions from Japanese Yen?

"No more narrowing issues when tab scrolling is enabled" -- please explain in more detail.
In a well-populated workspace (with tab scrolling), the active tab is about 55 pixels wide, whereas a solitary tab is about 170 pixels.
I would like to set my own preference for the fixed width of the active tab. -

@daria19: I was used to sometimes needing to enable Reader Mode from the O menu.
Now, it appears in the address bar for pages that suit its capabilities -- and it's not there
for Grok Conversations. If I clean up a long Grok Conversation page by blocking elements
with the uBlock Origin extension, and then Save as PDF, only the first screen is saved. The
same technique has quite good success at other sites, but it would be a lot simpler to select
the wanted content than to block navigation links etc., which often takes several attempts. -
RE: Opera 117.0.5408.53 Stable updateBlogs
The in-built Reader View seems to have disappeared, since I last needed it.
I want to save long Grok Conversations, but Save as PDF isn't up to the task.
I can use a Reader View extension and save the HTML, but the styling is lost. -
RE: Opera 117.0.5408.53 Stable updateBlogs
@genegold: years ago we could apply "skins" to style the interface. I liked one called BeOS, which provided dark tabs with a yellow highlight for the active tab. Over recent years I've used extensions to always place the active tab at either far left or far right of all the other tabs. Tab Slider, from the Opera collection of extensions, places the tab to the left, but wasn't functioning correctly so I moved on to the Most Recent Used Tab Stack extension for Chrome, which has the option to place the active tab rightmost, which I prefer. It ceased working yesterday, pending approval for its update, and I dearly hope for its return. As well as a user selectable colour highlight for the active tab, I would like a choice of constant width.

@leocg: in the Preferred languages section it says:
"Websites in your languages
Let websites know the languages you speak. They'll show content in those languages, when possible." -- which doesn't sound like an active translation tool.Aria said:
"To enable and trigger the built-in translator in Opera Stable, follow these steps:- Open Settings: Click on the Opera menu in the top-left corner and select "Settings."
- Navigate to Advanced: Scroll down and click on "Advanced" to expand the options.
- Select Browser: Find and click on "Browser" in the left sidebar.
- Access Languages: Look for the "Languages" section where you can manage language settings.
- Set Your Language: Here, you can change the browser's language to your preferred one. Opera will automatically use your system's default language, but you can customize it as needed.
Once you've set your preferred language, the built-in translator will automatically trigger when you visit a webpage in a different language, making it super convenient to understand content from around the world!"

@korol78: Aria said go to Settings > Advanced > Preferred languages.
I didn't need to make any change there, so went to https://omr.gov.ua as a test, but no translation occurred.
