Thanks for help CraigPD.

Unfortunately this option is disable mouse gesture menu. I'd like to disable mouse cursor when its on text and i-beam cursor is unactive.

Like standard mouse cursor while on text.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Hadn't noticed the change until now & no idea how to revert.

I just downgrade to 11.52. There is no solution for disable this option.

Thanks for Opera engineers to ruin this lovely browser. I don't know If Dice or Opera is the king of destroying their software with upgrades.

Well, someone created a UserScript for people who want the old cursor behavior.

To make Opera use the script go to http://files.myopera.com/earth01/files/user.css , press Ctrl + S and save the file into C:\Program Files\Opera\styles\ folder. Close and re-open Opera.
Windows 7 SP1 x86 edition and Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Works surprisingly well. Not a script though, but a style, and instead of using it as user.css (normally used and reserved for user mode), renaming it to browser.css might be better (applying the cursor style also to author mode)

I don't like the text selecting cursor.. Opera is going down.... lately.. sad thanks for the script. But most users need this feature integrated in option menu ! sad

What's amusing it that before this change was made threads would pop up semi-often asking for the I-beam to be used (makes selecting text more accurate.)

The only thing about it that annoys me is that it doesn't revert to the regular cursor if you bring up the context menu while over some text.

??? It does. The context menu always uses the regular arrow cursor.
