White screen 'flashbang' when opening pages

alobpreis last edited byI added the pages you mentioned to the speed dial, and this is how it behaves here with a just-installed portable GX:

@alobpreis In your case it really works as it should.
Maybe Win version plays the role here too. I use Win 8.1 (which doesn't have a system dark theme). I had in 66 or 67 (I don't remember) the similar result as yours, but in 68 I see a white flash while opening SD tiles. -

@Pebbles1980 as you can see on his demo, when he clicks on a tile there is a small delay (loading circle is spinning) before page appears. In your case (and in my too) the page is trying to load instantly and the white flashbangs occurs.
I believe that during this short delay the flashbang happens too, but it happens somewhere in the background and not visible. -

Well I sure you can see how annoying it is for me, there must be a fix for it.

@Pebbles1980 Hi, the only fix I was able to find:
Go to opera://flags find "#enable-paint-holding" there. Switch the toggle to "Enabled" and it will partially solve the problem, not completely though... -

Thanks Challenger, Ill try that.
Hopefully there is a proper fix shortly. Would be nice to see a Dev here saying they know about it, and are working on a official fix! -

@andrew84 That's weird. In my case it was disabled and I've never touched it before.

@andrew84 That's weird. In my case it was disabled and I've never touched it before.
In both regular Opera and portable Opera GX I have that setting in Default [E], therefore enabled. Anyway, neither setting it to Enabled or Disabled avoided the flash I get when pressing Ctrl-F12 to open the settings.

I also tried GX portable and the result is the same. I have Win8.1x64 and this could be a reason, but both of you have Win10 and the results are different. So the issue is not OS dependent.

Has there been any solution for this? No other browser has this issue. Google Chrome, Brave, Edge Chromium, Firefox, all have found some workaround to this. @Pebbles1980 did you find a solution? This is very very annoying and genuinely hurting eyesight when working late into the night.

HI mate,
Funny you post this, as I looked again yesterday to find nothing. Its still unnecessarily annoying.Can we please have confirmation that a Developer is looking into this?

@Pebbles1980 I doubt it, considering this hasn't been fixed for so long now. And if it differs user to user like I read above, it's unlikely that this will have a higher priority in the bug fixing agenda. Will have to stick with Edge chromium it seems. I have been trying to shift to opera since the last 6 months or so. It's always this very issue that stops me from porting.

I found multiple posts on Opera forums regarding the white screen flashbang occurrence while loading URLs. There has been no response from the Developers ins pite of the high number of posts. Does somebody know if they are working on it or not?
Does anyone know if there is a workaround to fix this issue please? -

Hopefully they'll do something about it.
What if they have it white if your browser is light theme and a black screen if in dark theme. -

@benclendon I have my browser on dark theme and I use the dark reader extension as well to make my webpages dark. This is not a theme, more of a rendering issue it seems, because no other browser that I have used has this problem. Inspite of using the chromium engine.
