Opera works great for me in all respects but one, and that is leaving
comments on YouTube videos. The field to type a comment doesn't show in
any current version of Opera. I CAN, however, "Reply" to comments others
have left. I have searched the forums, tried everything suggested in the
posts, like allowing third party cookies, but nothing works. I have to
start another browser to leave comments on videos.

Opera is the ONLY browser with this issue. The comment field shows fine
in all the others. I have basically the same add-ons in all my browsers
(Edge, the new Chromium Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Brave), and
even with them disabled in Opera, the problem persists.

Which version are you using? I can open "Leave a public
comment" on <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGVhesWfPMY> -
but I don't want to say anything about it. Would you
like to nominate another video where replying is a problem?

I have Opera Version:60.0.3255.151
System:Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)

I have both the latest Opera Stable and Beta installed. I completely
uninstalled, reinstalled, and re-added all my extensions earlier this
afternoon, and the "leave a public comment" field reappeared. Must have
been a glitch on both of the installs. :-)

Well, it's good that you found an easy way to fix it :-)

I wonder how long this problem existed for you - not that
I need to know, but the Opera developers might be
interested. <https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/>
"All my extensions", as well as running a beta version, sounds like a determined user? Or you really, really
like installing software. Which Opera rather spoils
by doing it for you.

The "change log" (from the blog) for Opera 60 says
it's existed since February, but careful poking
shows that it's been the "stable" version since
April 9th: earlier notes refer to "beta" or "developer"
or "practical joke" versions.
