DragonFly security issue

Is source code transmitted to Opera when inspecting an element with Opera DragonFly via 'Inspect element'?

I was not given any warning that source code would be transmitted and I am concerned that I may have caused a security breach.

The source code is transmitted to Opera when you open any web page, then the code is rendered by Opera to show the page layout.

No. I tested myself. The source code is not transmitted to Opera, only the interface is downloaded.

You can see yourself. Inspect an element, it will load the DragonFly, then, without closing Opera, inspect another webpage.. The webpage loads without being transmitted, so I do not believe the source code is transmitted.

If I am wrong, please let me know.
