@nomansland good to know we all are seeing the same colours. It means the Opera devs are setting them with each update.

@nomansland I only stepped on finding a solution to this today because all my Speed Dial bookmarks had turned to purple after the Opera Stable update installed into my computer, and some shades of purple give me a headache.

Seems that the colours change each time Opera updates; almost as though the scheme resets. There must be a cache that is automatically wiped after Opera updates are applied. If there is a cache it would suggest we might be able to manually edit those button colours.

This is not very well documented. We can set a thumbnail image for each speed dial tab:

1. Click the tab,
2. Click the heart () in the address bar; this is the same heart that is clicked to add a bookmark,
3. Use the thumbnail carousel to select the thumbnail that is to be used to represent the bookmark in Speed Dial, then
4. Click 'Done'.

The Add to Bookmarks button (the heart) can be used to put any singular page tab into Speed Dial. I only realised this today after months and months of frustration from wondering why Opera didn't have the option available in the actions dialog displayed when a tab is right-clicked.

@sgunhouse Thank you.

It seems to be intermittent. I'm not sure what triggers the fault. A site's menu might work fine the first few pages then suddenly the secondary nav tabs become non clickable.

I work with a lot of websites where I have to test each one's UX so I get to see this fault frequently.

This might be a related issue. Some sites lose keyboard page scroll functionality midway through a session. Again, it is an intermittent bug. The up and down arrow keys will work great for a couple of pages within a site then suddenly cease to function in their up/down scroll capacity. Scroll bar functionality continues to work. Mouse wheel continues to work. Keyboard up/down arrow keys cease to function. Keyboard otherwise works fine.

@sgunhouse have been busy so only now able to reply. Check out this page: https://www.ampproject.org/

I am on that page now. I am not able to click secondary and tertiary items in the top menu.

Okay....

Your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows): See forum category.

Your version of Opera: See original post.

If the problem is with a page, a link to it: See original post: any page.

A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible. See original post.

Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue. See original post.

Expected behavior and actual one. See original post.

Plugins: Happens whether present or not. No plugins = same problem.

Since Opera 55 navigation menus in websites do not function correctly.

For example, find a menu with on-hover dropdown navbar items. If the pages under a main menu item tab display on-hover, Opera ignores clicks on the dropdown items. This is evident in all sites with on-hover menu dropdowns.

The problem is not present in Chrome or Firefox.

The problem happens in regular and private browsing modes.

There is a way to restore the title bar in Kubuntu so probably the same method applies to vanilla Ubuntu.

Try setting a Window Rule for Opera windows. In KDE we do this under System Settings > Window Rules and set 'No title bar and frame' to 'Force' and 'No'. That's how I got mine back.

There is a quick guide to restoring Opera the menu bar here.

@jamesisin when the title bar was taken away a menu icon was put at left of the open tabs. I seem to recall (not certain) there was once an option to enable/disable the menu button in previous versions of Opera. I can't find a flag for it now so my guess is it would be hidden in a config file that might need to be manually edited.

Without the title bar the only way to close popup windows is to right-click the task in the desktop task bar. Give us our title bar back! Had we wanted less choice we would have gone for Mac or Windows OSs.

Removing the app bar without asking first is a bit of a deal-breaker for this Linux user. I switched to Opera when Firefox started doing this kind of arrogant/inconsiderate stuff. Do I need to switch to Vivaldi or Brave as my default browser?
