[Opera-Linux] Opera Dropdown Breaks Textfields

[Leo Przybylski]

I will try that. I do use scim, but most apps work fine. Also, I use skype  
which is built with QT as well. Someone suggested further back in the  
thread that it may be a QT issue, and that may be the case because this  
happens in skype. Actually, skype is the only other app where this happens.
