The behavior changes depending on the if "show tab bar" is enabled or disabled in Settings>Appearance>Layout.

With "Show tab bar" enabled, the video displays correctly, without the toolbar in full screen mode.

With "Show tab bar" disabled, the video displays incorrectly, with the toolbar obscurig the video in full screen mode.

@ARDEETHREE I've checked with show tab bar disabled and the toolbar appeared for a second and, then, went away.

@Throwawy97 If you didn't realize yet, I'm just an user. So all I can do is to check if the problem also happens on my side.

So far, I couldn't reproduce it yet.

@Throwawy97 Hopefully someone at Opera sees this and submits a bug report.

Opera techs already responded! I suppose they knew of this issue as they already have a bug fix which will be released in the next update....

Thank you for the detailed report and the screenshots — they make the issue very clear.

A fix has already been identified for the toolbar overlay issue in fullscreen video playback. It is being rolled out gradually, and the update should reach your device within the coming days. Once it is available, please update Opera to the latest version and let us know whether the toolbar overlay issue is resolved.

Regarding the unresponsive settings gear in fullscreen mode: this is a separate behaviour that has been observed across other Chromium-based browsers as well, including Chrome, Brave, and Edge, which suggests it originates from YouTube's player rather than Opera itself. In the meantime, exiting fullscreen to adjust quality or playback settings remains the available workaround.

In the meantime, you noted that enabling Show tab bar under Settings > Appearance > Layout causes the fullscreen video to display correctly without the overlaid toolbar — keeping that enabled is a viable workaround until the update arrives on your device.

Please do update once the new version is available and follow up here if either issue persists."

Nothing about showing tool bar for me.
I tried everything possible.
