<![CDATA[Opera 32 on Ubuntu bookmarks page rendering broken]]>This odd rendering, an apparent echoing of the top-left portion of the browser, only effects the Show All Bookmarks page. Possibly relatedly, the bookmarks popup menu appears empty (though can be clicked if you make good guesses about the locations of things inside it). This was not the case with Opera 31, and this is effecting all users on this system.

You can get more detailed information and see an image of the page rendering at my blog:

If this is not an Opera bug (but in the driver) then why is other software not having the problem?

edit this file:

sudo vi /usr/share/applications/opera.desktop

replace the first "Exec" line with this:
Exec=env LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 opera --ignore-gpu-blacklist %U

reopen opera and the problem is solved

I again have hardware acceleration enabled and I am able to interact with both the bookmarks page and the bookmarking menu in non-private windows. (I am now running 33.0.1990.43 in Ubuntu and elsewhere.)

If, and only if, you have time could you elaborate on how to use those patches? I saw one at 40 and one at 45 and somebody further commented that they worked. I'd be interested in testing this but, frankly, I have no idea. So, if you don't have time then don't let me interrupt you - I might be able to figure it out on my own or Google might have an answer. :doh:

This bug report also contains a patch that fixes the issue.

(Private windows remain unaffected by this problem.)

An update came out today and I was hoping it may address this, but no luck...

You should install the proprietary driver from your graphics card manufacturer and use that one instead of the default open-source (x.org).

AMD no more support graphic cards below hd5000 for linux.

Does disabling "Use hardware acceleration when available" in Settings help? You'll need to enable Advanced settings (bottom of the Browser page) to see it, then it'll be right above that.

It helps but make YouTube sucks when HD resolution used.

Is there a command I can use to get that easily?

Behavior is essentially the same though: private windows do not exhibit the problem. I did notice that any window on start can render in this broken manner. A restart of the application has fixed this both times it has happened.

How can I get rid of this problem but still using Gpu-compositing?

You should install the proprietary driver from your graphics card manufacturer and use that one instead of the default open-source (x.org).

If you're using Ubuntu, you can probably easily change the driver by opening "Software and Updates" -> "Additional Drivers".

As Opera is based on Chromium as well, it suffers from some GPU rendering problems, which caused the defective rendering in the Bookmarks menu, and when opening some extensions' menu (like adblock).

The solution is to launch Opera (or Chrome), with the following command, which disables the problematic DRI3, and reverts to the old one:

LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 opera --ignore-gpu-blacklist

Hope I saved someone a few days of Trichotillomania 🙂

Is there a setting I can use (perhaps under flags/) to make this permanent? I mean, at least until they fix this bug of course.
