@xyzzy Try to find out what in your profile is causing the crashes.

Really?

Any useful suggestions? Like which ones to start with or link to some debug log generation instructions?

Found it - it's Enable video pop-out. As it's been working so far, I assume it's Opera issue.

@xyzzy It was a useful suggestion. You just copy one folder/file at a time to the new profile until you find out which one is causing the issue.
Usually it's better to start with 'preferences' and 'local state'.

@xyzzy Does it crash just when you try to use video pop-out?

@leocg I'm having the issue too, and it seems to happen as soon as opera so much as tries to load the video.
So no.

The crash is immediately after video attempts to start playing (automatically or after clicking some kind of Play button). There is no time to attempt to use the pop-out.

I truly believed that there is some kind of debug logging for Opera after all these years...

@hate9 And does the problem still happens with a clean profile?

@xyzzy If the problem doesn't happen with a clean profile then that setting is not the cause.

It is, because changing it solves the problem - simple logic.
It is not the only factor though, because with other profile it doesn't cause the problem - as can be inferred from earlier posts.

This is pretty standard situation when bug depends on multiple factors.

@xyzzy The setting is enabled by default, so if it was causing the issue then it would happen also with a clean profile.
There's probably a problem in the profile that is being triggered by enabling the video pop-out.

As per bug ticket update, this problem is fixed in a future version.
