@burnout426 Thanks for the reply. It doesn't happen each time I highlight something (thankfully), and usually it happens when I quickly highlight different parts of a text, but it is so unpredictable that sometimes it happens right away. I now tried to reproduce it to no avail, but it still happens at least once or twice during my normal browser usage (I tend to highlight a bit more than the average user, I assume, especially when reading).

And when it happens, it freezes right away, so the browser gets stuck with "Search | Copy" bar on the highlighted text (My Flow is disabled on my browser). The buttons, as with the rest of the browser become completely unresponsive until I perform an Alt-Tab.

I have been using opera since version 60, and I find the search pop-up feature quite useful, since it allows me to search words or phrases, copy, and even make currency and time conversions with one click. However after version 62 when I highlight a text on a page (especially if I highlight in a quick succession), Opera freezes and I can only unfreeze the browser if I do an Alt-Tab and come back.

I couldn't find anything about this with a Google search, so I wanted to post here to see if maybe anyone else is having this problem and if there is a workaround other than disabling the Search Pop-Up feature. The fact that these freezings are gone on disabling this feature leads me to believe that it has something to do with a bug within this feature (I'm also using Grammarly addon that provides definitions when I double click a word, but I tried removing it and the freeze on highlighting persisted).

I hoped Opera GX would fix this, however this problem kept happening since its inception, and I couldn't find anything about this with a Google search, so I wanted to post here to see if maybe anyone else is having this problem and if there is a workaround other than disabling the Search Pop-Up feature.

@PeterBurton Yep, finally fixed it, thanks a lot!! Funny thing is, I always had that option enabled. Somehow it must have gone back to off with the update.

@PeterBurton Thanks for the reply. I'm also using version 63.0.3368.56078, and I still get nothing. I tried it with the other given search options on the bar, again nothing. Went into cookie storage and searched Google and deleted them all, but I still get no suggestion. It was working just fine before the latest updates.

My search results were also broken with that update, and the last 2 updates did nothing to fix it. In changelog the version 63.0.3368.55666 it was said to be fixed, but I still get no google search suggestions in any language in my address bar. Can someone suggest a workaround? Thanks.
