      When i start Opera (15-20) with "Run as different user" command - Opera starts, but all pages are empty. "Refresh" doesn`t help.
      Is there any way to make it work? (Opera 12 had no problems with "Run as")

          Looks like it doesn`t depend on OS version. (I tried on Windows 7 x64, Windows 8 x64, Windows XP SP3)
          Would be great to have this bug fixed.

            It may help, if you can provide us with a screenshot (for "a blck window"). Here's how to take it, "To capture an active window":
            windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/take-screen-capture-print-screen#take-screen-capture-print-screen=windows-7

            (Works pretty much the same, in other Windows versions)

            Edit: Sorz about the double-post, I've reported THIS one - asking for it to be removed, tnx!

                  New version released and now there is a white window instead of black one. But pages are still empty.
                  Is this problem being solved?

                    I had the same problem since I was trying to use Opera from a different user (not the currently logged on Windows).
                    I solved the white page issue by using the command line argument '--no-sandbox'.

                      Thanks! Your method really helps.
                      I hope some day developers will pay attention to this problem...
