Yes, this is one of the strange UI decisions by the Opera team. One
way to deal with this is ctrl+f then quickly <right-click> on

change Placement to 'bottom'.

However, now you will notice one annoying behaviour: upon making any

bar will always pop-up at the bottom of all open tabs. Both are worthy
of bug reports.
