Is this an option that I have to set somewhere in my user profile? Because it doesn't seem to be getting focus after loading...

No, you don't have to change anything in your profile.
It looks like Opera is a bit more sensitive about this than other browsers and it might be a race condition between the way it handles the editor loading and the rest of the page (but that's just a theory).
I suggest temporarily turning off animated images (F12, untick "Enable Animated Images"), reply to this thread and force a page reload with shift + F5 to ensure you bypass your cache. All being well, you should see the focus go to the editor but if not then there could be something else amiss. Of course, you can re-enable animated images and just reply to threads as normal once you've tried this.
(Just to clarify - I've used that version of Opera to reply to this thread and then edit my post afterwards and in both cases it worked - but it's a fresh install of Opera and I don't have any plugins installed that might slow it down)

Animated images didn't seem to do much. It still doesn't get focus.
The editor box is kind of slow for me, it takes about 5 seconds to fully load the edit page.
I don't have any extensions enabled, and don't have many plugins (just the usual stuff like Flash.)

I hate to say it but it's possibly down to your internet connection. Using Opera here if I enable dragonfly (ctrl + shift + I) and look at the network log it takes less than 2s to load the reply page including the editor and the focus changes correctly to the editor. I know you probably don't want to change your browser but is it possible for you to try an alternative (e.g. Chrome) and see if the problem still persists or whether it's something specific to Opera?

Made this post in Firefox, and the editor never got focus automatically either.
However, the fully featured editor shows up immediately here, instead of it first appearing as a text input box, only to be replaced a moment later by the full editor.

You know what, forget that minor inconvenience.
If you start to write a post, hit the go back button, and then go forward again, the entire post is gone.
Incredibly annoying if you just went back to view something in the thread (e.g. inline attached images, which don't show in the reply preview), only to go forward again and have lost your post.
The old editor never had such problems.

Now I'm definitely puzzled. I've just done exactly that in Opera and pressing back and then forward again brings me back to this message with all the text intact. If I deliberately try to lose it by pressing refresh then I get the "Restore Autosaved content" option in the bottom left of the editor which will bring everything back since the last auto save (every 60 seconds).
Pressing back in other browsers (e.g. Chrome) gives a pop-up warning that you're going to lose content by navigating away but even if you override that you can still restore the auto saved content.

Works fine for me in Opera 12.0.2 too. In fact it works better than in Firefox (16.0.2) where I get a popup warning ("This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved. [Leave Page] [Stay on Page]") and then loose the content if I leave the page.

That's strange. So what on earth is wrong with my Opera here?

I can't see other people's profiles. Is it normal? If I remember correctly, I could see them ~5 years ago. :p (Congratulations for this persistent forum, by the way. ;))
