Dragonfly error: active window id does not exist

I have been having issues with Dragonfly for a while (at least since 10.50 weeklies), which makes it pretty unusable. There's a topic in the Opera forums about it, but I haven't found anything similar here.

Summarized the issue is that some tabs can't be selected (and thus debugged) with Dragonfly. In the attached screenshot, I have two tabs (Opera forums and Dragonfly forum) open, but none of the can be selected in Dragonfly. Instead, I can choose Opera Unite Home, which I don't even want to see there (do I?).

Any ideas about what this is?

Hi scipio smile

there is obviously a confusion with that drop-down. It is not to select the tab, but to select the document of the selected tab, e.g. if the main document has (i)frames. To select the tab use the button with the Dragonfly icon on the top right corner.

No, not really. But currently there is a regression in getting the active window. Because that fails, Dragonfly selects the first available window. It's different in that it was not broken before, so people didn't have to look for the correct tab. Now they need to do that and that makes it obvious that this drop down is a bit confusing.

Which is already fixed in latest snapshots.
