Well, I don't like it. Actually, there are a lot of Opera defaults
that I don't like, but I was able to change them. This one it seems
cannot be changed.

It's convienient for sitting back in the chair with my wireless mouse.
Otherwise, I also do much prefer the keyboard.

Another Opera gripe: I cannot see where the scrollbar is! It is almost
the exact same colour as it's background. I didn't see any obvious way
of changing this, either.
