As you may know, Opera is a popular, open-source, cross-platform internet browser.
Opera 36 Beta (Build 36.0.2130.21) has been released, bringing the below changes:
- Scrolled position is reset after clicking/focusing the news page
- [Tools] Context menu in History/Tabs section doesn’t have proper content
- [News on SD] News images are not loaded when they get in view as a result of vertical resizing
- Fullscreen domain toolbar doesn’t appear on Windows

- Theme being previewed from addons lacks no-overlay style
- Issue with enabling/disabling advanced settings and config panel in the start page

- [news on SD] read articles are not marked as such in background tab
- Click-to-play setting isn’t respected without Turbo engaged
- Checkbox doesn’t reflect changing selected theme in theme selector component
- Extension icons should be excluded from content verification irrespective in whatever case they are used(not only in the same case as manifest.json)
