      Description:
      After update to Opera 41 video pop-out started having following problems:

      • last size and position is not remembered, newly opened pop-out shows up much larger and partially off screen
      • pop-out aspect ratio is no longer locked (x,y dimensions of the window were locked to the actual video aspect ratio) which is much less convenient while resizing
      • using "Back" or "Reload" buttons on another tab causes pop-out to disappear (more than 50% of the time, however I do have ~25 different tabs open)

      Steps to reproduce:

      • open any YT video, activate and move/resize pop-out
      • open new tab with any website, click several following links in that tab, than use "Back" or "Reload" button, pop-out should disappear
      • go back to the tab with YT clip still playing, reopen pop-out, it will open with different dimensions than before

      Actual result: Listed above

      Expected result:

      • pop-out should not disappear
      • pop-out should remember last size and position
      • imo pop-out should have locked aspect ratio (although there might be an option to lock/unlock it in settings)

      OS:
      Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1
      Intel Core i5-3320M, 8GB RAM

      Version of Opera:
      41.0.2353.46

      Does anyone else noticed similar problems? I did the update today, can't remember my previous version and it might have been earlier than 40. However it worked much better before the update.

      Regards

        I have had all the same issues you describe. Turning off hardware acceleration for the popout may help. See these posts:

            Hi,

            Thank you for your replies. Disabling hardware acceleration fixed those problems.
