Debian update 118.0.5461.104 today, 12th May.
First crash after not much more than an hour.

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?

@pilis00 the Debian release arrived for me, yesterday. But no announcement...

"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.

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.

@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:

1. Open Settings: Click on the Opera menu in the top-left corner and select "Settings."
2. Navigate to Advanced: Scroll down and click on "Advanced" to expand the options.
3. Select Browser: Find and click on "Browser" in the left sidebar.
4. Access Languages: Look for the "Languages" section where you can manage language settings.
5. 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.

First crash within half an hour of starting. Debian build.

@nkgrzegorzewicz: thanks, will do: just now received the update notification.

With this and the previous release, I've never before experienced so many crashes. Debian build.

Unusually, I got the update notification on the "O" before downloading via Update Manager. But that was for 116.0.5366.127. The Update Manager later alerted me to the availability of 117.0.5408.32, which I downloaded. There was then "An error occurred while checking for updates" when checking opera://about/ and no notification on the "O", before restarting the browser. Debian release.

@marinaz909 thank you. The scrollbar is better suited to my needs by disabling the Opera One scrollbar in opera://flags.

When a page search has been completed and the search term deleted, its first letter is retained when commencing a subsequent search.

Keyword searching through Aria's response history would be very welcome.

I would prefer greater contrast for the scrollbar "thumb" with the dark theme.

Twice, now, I've found mouse gestures not working, getting the right-click dialog for the page, instead.
Normal behaviour is restored after restarting the browser. I use the Debian build.

@daria19 there's only a problem with 24 workspaces.

I reported a bug with editing workspace names.
Prompted by burnout426's "Let's party!" comment, I was going to reply that I would if I could edit the name of my workspace with the giftbox icon.
With Opera 116, the session manager extensions I use no longer coped with all workspaces, just the one from which their icon is clicked.
That does, however, allow each workspace session to be saved, individually. Restoring hundreds of tabs into one workspace and then sorting them across others can be quite a task, so I see the new behaviour as beneficial.
So, I thought I'd try saving and restoring a single workspace session, giving me the chance to delete the workspace and then recreate it, with the desired name.
The editing workspace names bug appeared after I'd reported a problem with creating more than 10 or 12 workspaces. I "went the whole hog" and created all 24 allowable. Not all are populated so I deleted one, also planning to delete others, so I could get to the ones I wanted to rename and not have them restored to the bottom position in the sidebar.
Long story short, deleting just one of the 24 workspaces allowed normal editing of the others to be restored.
I use the Debian build.
