Graphical Glitches & Rendering Issues in Big Sur 11.0.1

Still having these issues and it seems to be getting worse with a lot of unresponsive and blank tabs. Especially worse in fullscreen mode.

Anyone find any solutions or is it a Big Sur issue with Opera?

Same here. Macbook pro 16 2019 (Big Sur, i9, 8gb Radeon Pro 5500M).

Every now and then the display of the webpage freezes and I only see white. Opera does not freeze altogether; I can still change tabs etc.

The problem got Really worse when I connected an external monitor, opted for screen mirroring, and connected to a BigBlueButton meeting. It was basically unusable then; I had to switch to Safari for this.

Apparently this has been fixed in the newest developer version. Can anyone test it?

Interesting. Do you know approximately how long will this developer version take to roll out?

The developer version (74.0.3890.0) does appear to address the blank bookmark issue on my iMac (4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7) | Big Sur 11.01 machine. Thanks for the heads up @nintendork07.

It seems to be working for me as well. Without a collection of bookmarks, it's difficult to test for the occasional breakdown of pop-down menus, but the occasional problem with Speed Dial being slow to show up also seems to be gone.

One thing I do notice, however, even with the update, is that some tabs that are streaming content stop streaming the content once I leave the tab for another tab. That wasn't the case before. For example, in the past I could listen to what was happening in a streaming forum tab while I looked at other tabs. Now, the second I leave the streaming forum tab, the forum stops streaming. I really need the tabs to keep streaming. (It does keep streaming Youtube tabs, even when I leave them, so I don't know what the difference is between the streaming forum tab and a streaming Youtube tab.) It does let me go to another application, however, and it will keep streaming, so it is just the tab switch that causes the issue.

Switching tabs causes a strange glitch where the contents of the new tab get covered up with a view of contents of the old tab. Only after a while the view gets fixed and the proper tab content is displayed. Sometimes it also happens to be covered up by some graphical artifacts like white squares covering most of the viewport.
This is very annoying and makes me want to ditch Opera browser and use Chrome instead (which works fine).

Hello! I have a weird problem, after I switch from the start page to an already open tab, the tab displays a white screen (or black depending on the page design)

Same issue, already posted about here:

Fixed in developer version but they are sure taking their sweet time to backport it to the stable version

This is only occuring for me now in FULLSCREEN mode after the update, seems to be fixed in windowed mode. Bummer that I use fullscreen mode !!!

Here is some of the Opera://GPU error reports if any Opera team member stumbles upon it. I'm switching to Brave in the mean time until it's fixed in fullscreen mode.

The latest update 73.0.3856.257 seems to have fixed the issues I was experiencing. Tabs are not blank when I switch between them and tabs keep streaming, even when I move away from a streaming tab to another tab.

Same here, 73.0.3856.257 seems to work much better.

Many issues over here on Big Sur, none of the Operas are launching on my end, neither developer, stable nor gx

Is this what everyone is getting? I've been on Big Sur for a week and this morning is the first time this has happened. I'm not as "technical minded" as some of you are. Is there something that a novice techy can do to fix this?

Same problem as what everybody is experiencing. Any fixes? Very Frustrating!
