      I have the same thing. The only extension I have installed is 1Password. I disabled it, restarted Opera, and the popup still appears.

      Has anyone successfully resolved this?

        This problem is still unsolved!

        It is extremly annoying, I already considered changing my default browser to Chrome because of that bug.
        I already uninstalled all my extensions and addons to have a clear Opera. Even tried deleting all settings and starting vom scratch but still it didn't work.

        Version: 20.0.1387.91
        Update-Stream: Stable
        Betriebssystem: Mac OS X 10.9.2 64-bit

          Temporary work-around:

          1. Go to System Preferences: Dictation and Speech
          2. Disable Used Enhanced Dictation

          The problem will no longer appear in new tabs (or any tab if you restart Opera).

          We will try to sort this out fast now that we know what it is. Sorry about the problems, guys.

            Tried the workaround, didn't do anything, sadly. Those popups are still here. Restarted Opera, even restarted my Mac.

            I use my OS X in german, maybe it's also a language issue?

              maxx102, could you try disabling dictation entirely?

                I turned off dictation and it finally went away after a restart. Is there any timeframe for when this will be eliminated? I don't use dictation everyday. It is a nice feature that I do use on occasion and just curious when I could turn it back on and still my beloved Opera browser.

                    Maybe reading a few of the comments that have already been posted could offer ideas to try, that may work or shed some light on what is causing this problem.

                      Hi, i have read the comments but i am not sure where to find Dictation and Speech and i have no extensions installed either.

                      Any clue?

                            We have contacted Apple Developer Relations and are waiting for a response. We hope to have this annoyance sorted out fast, but it has taken much longer than it should have.

                                This problem should be resolved in Opera 25. Click the application menu and choose About Opera to see what version you have or to upgrade.

                                Please let us know if you still have issues with this.

                                  I'm using Opera 25 and I still see that blank small window even after disabling dictation.

                                    There was a problem with the fix. New fix coming soon. (Surprisingly hard problem to solve.)
