In Linux (Ubuntu and Zorin OS), the picture-in-picture video window does not overlap other windows. They do not overlap. This applies to the stable, beta, and development versions of Opera.

Suggestion: the Mirage theme could allow changing the wallpaper. For me, this is the best theme, but I would like to be able to change the wallpaper.

@andrew84: Hi, thanks for reminding. We are checking this. The problem is, it doesn't happen for everyone so we need to find the common point as we weren't able to reproduce it.

@krteq Hi please take a look at our latest stable release - we made sure opera for KDE is working correctly :))

Google translate from polish:

I have the same problem (as the user @andrew84): a red flash when opening Opera and when maximizing the browser window.

Maybe it's related to the graphics adapter and driver?
I'm running Windows 11 25H2 (100% scaling) with an Intel 14600K processor and integrated Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770 without any issues.

I don't know.
But according to the posts (including reddit) it's rather OS dependent, seems like win 10 is affected.

Opera-QA-Team Opera @rancor6

@rancor6: Hi, we know the issue, it refers to Win10 only. The bug is awaiting fix.

Opera-QA-Team

Opera-QA-Team Opera @andrew84

@andrew84: Yes, I confirm, it seems like only Win10 is affected.

Two issues, probably not version-specific, but here we go...

TLDR: (1) 'singleton' intended to keep multiple Opera processes from co-running not working; (2) tons of defunct opera-autoupdat processes.

First issue:

(1) my currently running opera-developer is (was) 125.0.5720.0
(2) I allowed the system (Debian 'sid') to update opera-developer several times without actually restarting the process (so 125.0.5720.0 is still running, but something else is in the filesystem; a frequently-changing 'something else' as you issue more updates
(3) today I right-clicked on a URL in my terminal (actually the changelog for 126.0.5744.0, which is queued to be updated) -> Open -- this caused opera-developer 126.0.5742.0, the currently installed-on-filesystem version, to start a new window containing the same tabs as the currently (and still) open 125.0.5720.0 process.
(4) on examination, ~/.config/opera-developer/Singleton* exist and are dated ~10 minutes ago, i.e. when the 126.0.5742.0 process started. The 5742.0 process has SingletonSocket open for listening.
(5) two different directories exist in /tmp, with different SingletonSockets, each of which is open by one of the processes; but the symlink from ~/.config/opera-developer has been changed. I don't see how 'singletons' are 'single' when they rely on a replacable symlink which the program replaces automatically!

Second issue: there are some 600+ defunct 'opera-autoupdat' processes, children of the 125.0.5720.0 process; it seems to have started about 100/day on Dec 5-6-7-8-9-10 (starting with 5 on Dec 4). These might have started when 126.0.5734.0 was installed in place of 125.0.5727.1 (Dec 4 19:44). Unfortunately ps doesn't show exact start times of defunct processes from days ago.

In any case, the parent process of opera-autoupdat should be wait()ing those processes!

After posting that, I tried to get out of the situation. First I made a backup of ~/.config/opera-developer; then I closed the 126.0.5742.0 window. At that point the 125.0.5720.0 window went crazy, suddenly replacing every tab with a bunco of old Facebook tabs.

So I closed the 125.0.5720.0 window. Once I was sure no Opera processes were running, I completed the update to 126.0.5744.0, then started it, and of course it was a bunch of old Facebook tabs. Specifically, 14 of them, plus an 'Opera has been updated' tab. But when I tell it to close the window, it prompts me that 26 tabs are being closed(?!?).

Closed it. Moved aside ~/.config/opera-developer, replaced it with the backed-up copy. Started 126.0.5744.0 -- and it has my expected current set of tabs.

So, something very wrong with the singleton stuff; and, probably expected shenanigans when unintentionally running 2x simultaneous Opera processes out of the same config directory. Except the '15 tabs = 26' thing is weird.
