Seems like it happens when connecting to a Google site in the background

What Google site? If you don't know, have you checked your computer for malwares?

It is trying to connect with Google Accounts (I am not signed in, although it happens when signed in as well)

Running Malwarebytes, Spybot, and Windows Defender

And you are trying to use something that requires a Google account? Anyway, it shouldn't act like you are describing.

I have the same problem in version 41. It seems like Opera is logging into my Opera account after the screen becomes black (happens very quick and hard to see).

I can't see any direct connection. It occurs when only this page is open in the browser.

I have managed to save a screenshot of the issue, but unsure how to share this.

the screenshot is at: https://postimg.org/image/7f1305oz1/

In addition to the link in the title bar, it also changes to read Sign in - Google accounts

Do you use any extensions related to Google Calendar?

Bingo! I think you have nailed it. This extension was installed:
https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/google-calendar/

I do not think it ever functioned properly, as I never noticed anything in the browser that related to it. I disabled it, and the black screen has not appeared for 2 hours or so.

I guess one question that still exists is why it would cause the black screen effect?

Thanks, and I'll confirm after more testing.

I can confirm that disabling Google Calender will solve this issue
No black screen for 2 days now after diabling it...
