      an automatic update occured this morning including Opera browser among others.

      Now black boxes appear instead of the normal drop-drawn menus - real issue when you want to have access to your favorites.

        Are you using the 'nouveau' driver? If so, it's a bug related to that driver.

        As a workaround until we have a fix available for this, you could:

        • Disable hardware acceleration (in opera://settings, enable 'advanced settings', then disable 'hardware acceleration') OR
        • Use the 'nvidia' binary driver

          by disabling the hardware acceleration from Opera settings, the issue seems to be fix.

          Thanks for the workaround

            I had the same issue. By disabling the hardware acceleration it seems to be fixed.

            Thank you.
