Got the same problem on Mint 19.3 (Cinnamon).

By the way, it also seems that menu appears with animation now. Was it present in previous versions?

So, does anybody in Opera's dev team is aware of this bug?

@leocg Seems so in 79.0.4128.0.

New build for Mac and Windows - 79.0.4128.0 ;-)

Some changes, fixes and improvements:
- DNA-94506 [Linux] menu border has a thick black edge with hardware acceleration on.

I'm on Linux at 78.0.4093.147.
I guess I'll just need to wait for for 79.0.4128.0 to hit stable.
And/or turn off accleration for the time being.

Re: Menus with black borders

Ubuntu 20.04 Gnome
Opera 78.0.4093.112

After the update, there are also stripes. However, if you turn off hardware acceleration, the stripes disappear.
Bug

I'm not sure what you mean by stripes.

If you are talking about the horizontal lines in the menu, those are not part of the bug -- they are menu item separators. They are there even if hardware acceleration is turned of (well at least for me anyway) .

Try to run Opera with --use-gl=desktop flag, you won't lose hardware acceleration, but black borders gone. It works on my Mint 19.3

I have the same issue, I've also tried turning off hardware accel but the settings were already off or disabled by default.
Running with NVIDIA drivers (just updated those too) but no change.
Compositor is picom.

@zweieuro There is no need to change something in Opera's flags. You have to disable "Use hardware acceleration when available" option in Menu-Settings. Another way you can try to launch Opera with --use-gl=desktop key, as it was mentioned above.

@dejwid Yup I can confirm that this works [Debian 10/Buster] (opera --use-gl=desktop), no black borders and hardware acceleration still works.

It looks like (after viewing opera://gpu/) that --use-gl=desktop disables Google ANGLE and uses the system version of GL.
