      @proshor Same here.

      By the way, don't you see a red full screen flash after minimizing and restoring again Opera window?

                Opera One. It happens every time. I didn't try other themes except classic. This strip appears for less than 1 second and disappears. Exactly like that:

                  According to the reddit thread users also have the red screen like I do. I'm on Win 10.

                    I've just noticed! It really flashes when minimizing and restoring, but for a moment, I didn't pay attention before.
                    Quote: "I also see a whole-page red screen when I hit (Windows key)+D (to see my desktop)." That is: Win+d and then once again Win+d. There's s also a full red screen.

                        @andrew84, on Windows 10. I don't like Win 11.

                          Maybe Win 10 only specific issue.

                          I reported the bug yet a week ago in Developer thread but there was no feedback (most are on Win 11 as it seems). So the bug now in Stable.

                          *And I guess the red bar on start is the same invisible bar on speed dial page., the bar cuts tiles and prevents scrolling full down.

                              @proshor Have you tried a test standalone installation of Opera Developer? You can get it from the "Opera Developer" section at https://www.opera.com/download.

                              Also, what specific version of Windows? (Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 23H2/24H2/25H2)?

                              I can't reproduce the issue myself on Windows 11 23H2 with my hardware, so was wondering.
