@d216 In case they don't fix it (which doesn't seem like they will), I recommend Vivaldi

Hello,
Not sure if it's Linux specific but when I watch Youtube videos at full screen, there is a very narrow with line on the top of the video (above the video name, across the whole screen).See example:

I see this issue is old and still wasn't resolved

I've submitted bug report to Opera's bug tracking system. BS-12308
Let's see what they'll say@rejuvenator Thanks for advice, maybe I'll try it in the near future

Same bug with Opera 77.0.4054.277 and Opera 78.0.4093.103 beta on Arch Linux running Wayland session of Gnome 40.2.0.
Chromium, Vivaldi and Firefox installed on the same system
do not have this bug. -

Hi,
I disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available" under Settings/Advanced/System and was able to get rid of that white strip I haven't checked yet if disabling hw acceleration causes slow performance when surfing.

What worked for me was simply going to display settings, change the resolution of your monitor to whichever option, and then hit revert. Hope this helps

This bug affects even Opera 83.0.4254.54 running natively on Wayland on Gnome and KDE Plasma. Is Opera developers aware of this old bug?

I know it's an old topic, but I found one reliable solution to those unwanted bits on the screen.. Add 'UBlock' to the extensions.. Right click the trouble spot, and create the block for it..

im not using linux, but i notice with opera every time I choose force dark themes on websites, this white strips appear on youtube videos and other web videos when they go into full screen, all i did was turn this option of and it sorted it for me.
Sorry if its late, but if it helps.
