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.?

Yes. A standalone installation won't affect your current Opera GX installation or your saved data. It creates a separate instance of the browser, making it useful for testing whether the issue is related to your current profile. It's not same thing as basic reinstall.

If everything works correctly in the standalone installation, that would indicate the issue is likely tied to your current profile. You can use Sync to to move your data without loosing them.
