Ok, thx. Given how big the issue is, I'm sure devs are on it.

@leocg .. If this is so important (which I could agree on) why isn't there a link somewhere around the "New topic" button?

There is no reason for it.

Another week, another update, still not fixed. Honestly, how can interface problems like this not receive the highest priority?

Lol, it's even happening in the "I don't care about cookies" extension settings XD

And in Opera's own Bookmarks panel. If you try to rename a folder in there, it'll highlight the whole text XD I just find it funny that such bug goes unaddressed for days giving we well know it wasn't happening just 2 updates back. Hm.

Another week without a fix ... and not even any official acknowledgement.

Last time an app breaking thing happened I switched to Firefox for 2 months. If they plan on d**king around like this it might become a permanent thing.

Everyone that has this problem, please answer these questions (at least the first 4, but all would be nice):

• What version of Windows (version, edition, 32-bit/64-bit)?

• What version of Opera (including whether 64-bit or 32-bit)?

• What GPU do you have (Brand, Model, Driver version)?

• Does it happen in a standalone installation of Opera?

Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation" and install. Do not turn on Opera Sync or mess with the default settings. Test with the defaults.

• Does it happen in Chrome?

  • If it happens in Chrome, does the problem go away when you test in Canary?

• Does it happen in Vivaldi?

• Does it happen in Chromium?

• What page(s) (and what field(s) on the page) or UI text fields does this happen on?

What version of Windows (version, edition, 32-bit/64-bit)?

• Win 8 (6.2.9200), 64Bit

What version of Opera (including whether 64-bit or 32-bit)?

• v. 56.0.3051.52 32 Bit. Didn't realise there was a Win 64 Bit version, if there is, why don't I get it?

What GPU do you have (Brand, Model, Driver version)?

• Intel(R) HD Graphics, Resolution setting 1366 x 768, Driver version 9.17.10.3040 Haven't updated yet!

Does it happen in a standalone installation of Opera?

• Installed locally on PC for all users, always browse using ordinary User account

Disable hardware acceleration in settings for now.

Thanks. Changing settings worked for me. Previously I've tried changing Opera "flags" and didn't work.

Solution:
1 ) Go to opera://settings/
2 ) Disable "Use hardware acceleration when available"
3 ) Click on "Relaunch"

Since it is hardware-dependent, it can only be reproduced on similar hardware. My own system here (64-bit Windows 10, 64-bit Opera, AMD GPU) has no issues.

As far as what version of Opera you have - the network installer should detect what version of Windows (64-bit or 32) and download the corresponding version of Opera. If you look at Help > About Opera and the Browser Identification included "Win64, x64" then Opera is 64-bit. If it says WoW64 then it is a 32-bit Opera on 64-bit Windows. And of course if you have 32-bit Windows then you can't run 64-bit software at all so it will be a 32-bit Opera version.
