10.00 new tab button snafu'd

BeartoothTpBkR · External Since: Oct 26, 2009 Posts: 2

When I hit the New Tab button, I get a new (and smaller) window
instead. Dunno if it's relevant, but I haven't gotten to my bookmarking
for a while, and have about 66 tabs open, by hand count.

Maybe you've changed the setting for the size of new tabs? 'Tools >
Preferences > Advanced Tab > Additional tab options'

It said "remember past size"; I changed that to maximize --
hesitantly, because I always want some background to show all around any
window, to help me keep track of which machine I'm on -- and it made it
the size of the other tabs, not of the whole screen. That's exactly what
I normally use, and wanted back. Many thanks!

I think opera is still an MDI application (multiple "windows" inside the
application window). But the default setup makes it look like a tabbed
application instead. Maybe that makes using MDI terminology for the MDI
operations (maximize, minimize, restore, tile) slightly suboptimal...
