@leocg: There is no guarantee that this problem will not appear with new versions of Opera in the future, so it is advisable to replace it with a non-animated indicator. This is my suggestion. I hope Opera Developers will hear my request.

@firuz-u7 That won't be necessary. While the audio indicator animation exposes the issue, it's not the cause. The cause is deeper but being taken care of. Sit tight.

Bookmarked internal pages show 'chrome' in the address (in tooltip too when hovering), not 'opera'.

@andrew84 Yeah, there are inconsistencies like that all over the place. But, the issues are not very high priority.

new build 66.0.3515.2
Edit:

• What have you done with video pop-out!? It disables a video in the main window, but the popup doesn't have controls (volume, next video, no video caption)

Another Gif recreates the issue "here".

It seems that in 66.0.3515.2 the default Chromium's Picture-in-picture is used. You continue to kill own features instead of improving them. Unpinned sidebar, Quick Access, Video pop-out.. what will be next... the search pop-up?

@andrew84 Two new Opera's flags:
- #new-component-update-mechanism (this one seems to be added in 66.0.3508.0, but there was not build for Linux for this version.
Enables a more modern implementation of Component Update.

- #workspaces
Allows organizing tabs into workspaces.

Both are disabled by default, so it looks like a work in progress.

@andrew84 It's the original page address, someone probably forgot to change it.

I even tried to disable this feature in the settings, but it still works. This is really a feature from chromium and the window size is limited.

@l33t4opera: do they refer to the video pop-out?
And if there is a flag that enables the old popup?
Their 'work in progress' can last years, I was planning to upgrade to 66 version soon when bugs are fixed and 66 goes to Stable. And now this disappointment again.

@andrew84 The flag is Enable Surface Layer for Video Pop-out or something like that.

@leocg it is enabled by default

@andrew84 I don't think so, but you can check if disabling the opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers changes something in your case.

@l33t4opera Thx, disabling this flag enables the old popup but the old popup is still broken (video freezes). And won't be ever fixed as I understand now.

@andrew84 Not a problem ;-) Here on Linux it doesn't freeze I can replay the videos without much problems in VP9 and H.264 on YouTube.

Now the video began to slow down and hang on the site vk.com despite the fact that the load on the processor is normal.
If you hover your mouse over a tab, the video starts playing normally!

@temkem Yep, disabling it should bring the old video pop-out back.

If they want to replace the original popup with Chromium's one, they should fix the original popup first (like it was done in Beta), then restyle the Chromium's popup to look similar to original one (with volume contols) and release it.

@andrew84 I guess that exactly because of the implementation of the Chromium solution, they probably will not fix the video pop-out.
