Just installed it and my only comment so far is that, when maximized, there is a non-clickable gap between the top of a top and the top of the screen. This is a big usability mistake so I hope they correct it at some point. Firefox does this too and it drives me insane. Chrome is the only one (that I use) that does it right.

Firefox on Windows doesn't have this issue. You can fix this issue for classic Opera (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=437971&...), but it seems that config manager for Opera Next doesn't work like old version (or maybe is completely removed?).

Operating system? You should file a bug against Firefox (and Opera, I suppose.)

This has been this way for the last few versions or rather since they changed the UI in version 11 I think. This allows you do double click this array to return to window mode or "drag it down" from maximized which will return it to window mode (Windows).

What OS? I have Firefox for Windows and have no unclickable space between the top of the tabs and top of the screen. I've never experienced that before on any release I can remember.

Opera on Windows, sorry I should have made that clear.

You don't have that tiny (2px?) gap?

It's clickable for me and focuses the tab when clicked.

I do have that gap visually, but I can click on it to focus on that tab.

Not so. That space makes things much easier when dragging the browser window around (i.e. between multiple monitors). And the casual user really does not care.

It's been like this since at least Opera 10; don't count on them doing anything about it.

Firefox has the "correct" behavior for me, though the old Opera doesn't.
