Sounds to me like the touchpad generates some sort of key sequence 
when you use it horizontally. If that is a case a keyboard shortcut might be 
activated in Opera. I guess you should have a look in the active keyboard 
file (same place in prefs, Advanced > Shortcuts). The "Application" and 
"Browser Window" sections are relevant in this case.

It is probably useful to use the program xev to see what kind of events 
the horizontal movements in the touchpad generate.
