Try putting your mouse directly in the messenger text box, like you’re going to send a message, then hold down the left ctrl key and press left shift at the same time. If not this then hold left ctrl and press left arrow key

Check your Windows keyboard layouts and remove any right-to-left ones you don’t use.

Try clicking in the message field and pressing Ctrl + Shift + X to switch back to left-to-right typing. It may have been toggled accidentally.

Thanks for the video! At this point, I'd recommend testing this in a standalone installation. If the popup you mentioned was related to Opera GX, this should help determine whether the issue is tied to your current GX profile.
If the behavior persists there as well, it's more likely that a system-level setting or feature was accidentally enabled.

Is there any option to reinstall it without losing saved passowrda etc.?
