10.52 - Search via Context Menu - new tab

i got a minor problem after installing Opera 10.52

In 10.51, whenever i used "search" function thru "context menu", it would open in new tab, but in 10.52, it opens in same current tab.

i liked it the old way - search via context menu opening in new tab

----------------
selecting a text -> right click ->search.

that would by default open a new tab & search whatever term in google.com
----------------

Where do i change this setting?

You can't, but you can press control+shift to search in a new tab.

That bug was fixed.

• Context menu search opening in a new tab, and not reusing current tab

It should open in the current tab if you have "reuse current tab" checked in preferences, tabs. If you don't like that behaviour, then uncheck the setting.

Funny, I've hated that it opened in a new tab for years! In the last version I thought it was intentionally changed and I loved it! Little did I know it was actually a bug when I read the changelog. Ugh. Then I see this. YES!

Quite useful, thanks for the tip.

The "new tab" was better for my job. Is there some possibility to switch it back ? The same for all other options in context menu. Ctrl+Shift is really very crazy combination.

Uncheck "reuse current tab" as suggested above.

It is not good solution for me. Because of when I click on my bookmarks or personal bar each one is opened in new tab.

P.S. Chrome and Firefox and IE have new tab. I cannot understand why Opera needs something special. What about do this as switchable option ?
