      Hello, since today I'm not able to open a new tab clicking with the mouse wheel on the top bar anymore. Is there any option I should check? Or is it just a feature that has been disabled? Thanks!

        Also having this issue; if it's a bug, please fix it. If it's intentional, please put it back!

                    @burnout426 well, I hope it will be fixed soon, because for me it's very useful feature. Never noticed how convenient it was until now...

                        Seems to be working in LVL4 (core: 96.0.4693.59).

                        Edit: You need to enable opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip for it to work for now.

                          @leocg thank you, holy moly

                          What a ridiculous change.

                          God it feels good to be able to do this again

                          Did they do the same thing to the ability to drag highlighted items to the tab section to open new tabs as well?

                            @imoo1124 It's a bug, enabling the flag is just a workaround until they release a fix.

                              @leocg I see, that makes way more sense

                              in any case, thanks for posting the workaround

                                  I am using opera gx. In the past, when I clicked on the top of the window with the mouse wheel, it would open a new tab, but I can't open it anymore, how can I activate this setting again?

                                    @burhanseeen Known issue. For now you can enable opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip to get it back.

                                      Here's some useful steps that helped me get this feauture back:

                                      1. Open: opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip in a new tab;
                                      2. Go to where it says "Scrollable tab strip";
                                      3. On the drop down menu to the right of it, click "enabled";
                                      4. Hit the "reload button on the bottom right or if it doesn't show itself, RESTART your computer;
                                      5. Fire up OperaGX, try it out and see if it works.

                                      Enjoy your feature again like before!
