close/minimize tab buttons missing
Hello!I've searched this forum and looked at the knowledge base, but I haven't found an answer to this - after upgrading to Opera 10.51, the buttons to close or minimize tabs are gone. This is not referring to hiding or showing the menu bar - if I show the menu bar, these buttons are not present. I find the option to enable the close button on the tab icons to be very difficult to use (I tend to have a large number of tabs open), plus if the close button is on the tab, it is then very difficult to click on the icon to minimize the tab.
J.
I agree, I miss being able to have the close tab button in the upper right corner. These days I mostly use keyboard shortcuts for most operations [ctrl-w to close a tab], or I have a close tab entry at the bottom of my context menu, but I still all too often miss that button.
Please bring it back.
Please bring it back.

I wonder why you couldn't find anything on this? There are dozens of recent threads.
I entered "minimize" in the search field at the top of the forum and this was the first thread in a long list of results.
This thread was the first result when I searched for "close."

I don't know why my search didn't find those topics either - perhaps I was over-specifying my search terms or something....
At any rate, I dragged the button to the tab bar, and will see how it works.
Thank you very much!

I normally use the ctrl-w shortcut. But if a page is set-up such that it is completely filled by flash content (NHL TV pages), the shortcut doesn't work (haven't tried the ctrl-F4 shortcut). Hence the desire for a proper close-tab button (solution provided in prior post).
