). i think i remember you mention you are on linux, it's possible it's a standard option there, judging by the edit they propose.
i did find another way to get the window out : you can drag the tab into the title bar, this gives you a new opera window with the popup floating inside it, and if you maximise the popup it fills up that window. i suppose this is a reasonable compromise.
nonetheless, it's really annoying that you have to go through so much trouble for this and it seems like really poor ergonomy : logically, if i click "open new window" it must be because i want
a new window. what is the point of opening a new window which is stuck inside the current viewport ??? i don't understand why opera made this the default behavior, and makes the process for getting an actual new window so convoluted.
thanks for the explanation though, i'm glad that at least now i know how to do it, even it took me many posts, three screenshots, and an opera "how to" site.
