I can't find a way to drag a URL to create a shortcut on my desktop from
Opera. Is there any?
I can't even figure out how I do that anyway, other than manually create a new
Internet link on the desktop and then paste the URL and rename the link.

tried clicking on the part of the address bar that says "Web", and
dragging it to the desktop. That seemed to work.

Seems to be a regression in the very last build of Opera Next. I checked one
of the previous builds (1213) and it worked (drag and drop the address bar
onto the desktop to create a URL link).
