      @ashrayspin just following up on this. This method of a clean profile worked at first, but after only half a day it went back to the video sizing being locked for me and the video being smaller. is yours still working?

              Funny thing happened.. Opera updated and the video pop out is even smaller now. Please fix it. Thank you.

                  I do have the black borders on the left, right, and bottom of the video player.

                  I have no issues resizing the pop-out player as long as I hover over the border of the video rather than the video player.

                    For those with problems, try out with a Private Window / Clean profile.

                    The three black borders happens here also on every stream.

                          @sirlinx I found a way to fix it. In the Appdata/Roaming, there's a folder called "Opera Software" and inside of it is "Opera Stable". Then find the "Preferences" file and edit the string thingy called "window_placement_video_popout" then change the "height" and "left" that you want. This allows you not to lose your history, cookies, passwords and etc.

                          I hope this helps you

                            @kilro-0 This worked for me. Thanks. I resized the popout window to a rather large size. After that I am able to resize the popout window using resize handles.

                                I want to update you guys something, for some reason when you make the pop out video smaller where it can't make it more smaller, the pop out will again or begin to again shrink. Just do the steps again and you will be fine

                                  @kilro-0 do you mind explaining how do you edit the "preferences" file?
                                  and what kind of software should i use to open the file?
                                  thanks

                                      I solved this problem by going into the Settings, Advanced and then clicking on Restore settings to their original defaults

                                            I just found a better solution which for me with out restore setting. Just keep clicking the pop out video quickly much like making it pause and play and you see the pop out video getting bigger. This only work when i want to make the pop out video bigger but still didn't find a workaround to make it smaller but atleast now i can make it bigger. Such a SHAME opera can't fix this bug for months.
