Minimize, restore and close buttons have disappeared from Opera browser and most windows

Asked by Enrico Pumarosa

The minimize, restore and close buttons have disappeared in my Opera browser and most other windows I open. I have to right click on the bottom panel box for Opera to close, minimize and maximize the browser. I also have to do this with most program windows.

The buttons remain and are fully functional in Firefox and Chromium.

I had the icon already installed. I followed the rest of the instructions and right clicked Reload Window Manager.

Buttons appear to be back in browser and windows I've thus far opened.

Looks like the suggested fix has worked.

Thank you.
