        This is normal since cinnamon, the window manager, adds its window border with its buttons, so opera no longer has these buttons.

          @sangheeta You want to say that if i will use mate the buttons will be on their places?
          You want to say problem is in cinnamon?
          The only application to have this problem is opera, so i don't think this is because of cinnamon, and strongly doubt it is "normal".

            And yes, it all depends on the window manager. Have you asked on a LinuxMint Cinnamon forum?

                    @emoxam , no, it's exactly maximized. No special tweaking. The same thing with Opera is in my test installation of Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon on VM that runs under Windows 10. One thing, I have a --start-maximized key in Opera shortcut. But I don't remember that I changed it by myself.

                      @pindos started opera --start-maximized from terminal - no buttons.
                      what version of opera do you use? i use
                      53.0.2907.68 because of h.264 and so on supporting (chromium must have the same version as opera build on)

                        @emoxam , I use 57.0.3098.116. I have no problems with video. To be more correct, they exist after update of Opera. But I manually replace codec. After that video works fine. To fix video issues look here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/30254/video-playback-issues
