      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:
      https://ibb.co/kq0RWq8

      I tested in Chrome and Firefox, and had no such issue.

              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 🙂

                  @d216 They won't say nothing, most probably. In fact there is a high chance that it will just be marked as a duplicate.

                    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..

                                      @rollingpeanut would you be so kind to show some manual for this solution?

                                          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.

                                            @hammersutd1983 nope youre on time its still there. You know it is so much time has passed... For a long of those years... My country is now struggling against russian aggression. It is has passed over 2 years, even bug tracker ticket got. But for over 2 years this bug is living in opera on linux. You know... Even my company, I'm working for, it is has banned opera. I'm tired of waiting for this bug to be solved.
