What have I done? Trouble deleting mail

I don't know what I did but at some point today, I stopped being able to delete mail items properly. If I highlight a bunch of emails (or RSS feed notifications) and hit delete, only the one at the top gets deleted; to delete the whole lot, I have to press delete for each one (they still all remain highlighted while I'm deleting).

And for RSS notifications, if I use the keyboard shortcut to delete them permanently, instead it marks them as read, and if I right-click on them and choose 'delete permanently' from the context menu, nothing happens at all.

Using the shortcut to delete mail permanently works OK in that it deletes messages permanently, but only one at a time.

Anyone know how to to things back to the way they should be? I'm using the latest version of Opera on OSX.

Not sure on this one. Does anything work with delete action in the context menu or the menu you get when click on the side of the delete button on the mail toolbar?

If so, I''d ctrl+F12 -> advanced -> shortcuts and make sure you're using the default keyboard setup.

If not doesn't help, try Opera with a separate profile. If it works fine there, then, there's something messed up with your existing profile. If it still doesn't work fine, it must be somewhere else.

As it turns out, a restart fixed the problem. Weird. :?

Yes. If it happens again, take note of whether Opera's using a lot of memory.

How do you do that on a Mac?
