Opera always in foreground

I just updated to Opera 36.0.2130.46 and this problem out of a sudden struck me. The opera window always stays in foreground
If I click on any running program in the task bar that program's window won't appear. Rather the Opera window remains in the foreground. I have to explicitly minimize Opera's window to see that other window. Very annoying!
I'm also used to switching between different windows with ALT+TAB. This now also don't work any more.
It seems as if Opera 36.0.2130.46 wants to be the only program you shall ever use - which is not what I want!

I just deinstalled Opera and then installed 36.0.2130.32 which then updated itself to 36.0.2130.46 ... now everything's fine again. As well ALT+TAB and also klicking on any icon in the taskbar works as expected. Very strange!

Same bug with opera 38.0.2220.29. The auto-hide taskbar won't gain focus when opera is running (opera always on top).
Win 7 64 bit.Can silent updates be turned off in opera?

To access the taskbar or start menu, I have to either minimize Opera, press the Windows key or press Alt-Tab to go to any other application that doesn't have this issue (going to another Opera window doesn't help, of course).Edit: I just found out that this starts happening after watching a video fullscreen, like Youtube!
You can temporarily fix this by either:
- Option 1: restore (de-maximize) Opera and maximize it again TWICE.
- Option 2: restore (de-maximize) Opera, move your mouse so the taskbar displays, and then maximize Opera again.
Now the issue is gone until I watch the next fullscreen video.

I just discovered that this doesn't happen in a private window. For this I thought it might be an extension getting in the way but not, without any extension the issue still occurs in the non-private window.

Thanks for the info and actually bumping this issue. I'm reporting this further internally.

No change in 39.0.2256.71. Three months since the update broke it and still not fixed.

Had this problem for months. Still happening on 40.0.2308.62
Don't know why I stick with this browser, been all down hill since 12.17. Still be using that version now if it didn't crash all the time.[Mod edit: off-topic part removed. Such kind of discussion has ended and you lost the timming.]

Still broken in stable version 41.0.2353.46. Hard to understand why a bug thats so annoying isn't being addressed.

I just realized this also happens in Chrome and Vivaldi! So it seems it may be a Blink engine thing.

Then its the HTML5 video rendering component of the engine. HTML5 videos in fullscreen are what trigger it here.
No change in version 41.0.2353.56 -

Still broken on 43.0.2442.991 (PGO). Doesn't look good for getting fixed. Eight months since it bugged, I'll post on its anniversary.
