If a user customizes the toolbar and turns off tabbed browsing, when something is downloaded, there's no way to go back to the main window.

You tell me how a user is supposed to get back.http://montgomery.cas.muohio.edu/images/modaloperastrandsusers.tiff

All you need to do is go on the Opera Website, create an account, and notify Support of your issue; again, I have put Opera through the wringer, and it comes back with flying colors.I use Opera for My EMail as well!I am delighted to be a member of the Opera Community; in being in contact with Opera Support, I am in a position to EMail Opera Support.
It would be most appreciated to take your complaints to Opera Support in Norwary. They can verify if such a bug exists.

You personally attacked me, and now you refuse to even acknowledge the screen shot that proves I'm right.Keep talking about bug reports and posting silly things like "if the bug exists". It's there in the screen shot. Unless you can say you tried turning off tabbed browsing and had no problems getting back to the main browser window after downloading something, you are wasting everyone's time with comments like that.

What nonsense. I tried to use the browser and gave up, because with a 1024x768 screen, I didn't want the tab bar on because I don't use tabs and don't want to waste the screen space.It does seem inexplicable that such a big issue remains in Opera 9, but unless it's been fixed in 9.1, which I seriously doubt (and will test today), it's a show-stopper for me.
Your silly assumptions about me are completely false.

It's not obvious, but if you press command-w you will close the current tab (even if the tab bar is hidden) and return to the Web page.Also, there is a preference to open windows instead of tabs that opens the download manager in a new window.

Thank you for that prefs solution!I searched the prefs several times in version 9.02 (or something similar) and didn't find anything that seemed relevant and gave 9.1's prefs a quick look-over. I guess I missed that pref. Still, the program shouldn't be so modal by default, so that when the tab bar is turned off, the functionality is broken.

I am 99.99% sure that by now if such a bug existed there would be an updated version; I have put this browser through every test and security, and it has not failed me once. You perhaps have a personal dislike as most posters do for software that is downloaadable. If you have proof, kindly EMail Opera with a copy of your "bug report" Let THEM decide if such a "bug" exists; if it does let THEM the opera staff write an updated version; it only requires proof from you to Opera.Reply to This
