      I can confirm this.

      Opera 45.0.2548.0, using XFCE on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. I don't use compiz, it is the composition of the own xfwm4, which can be adjusted using window manager settings. The black borders appears with composition disabled.

      With composition enabled:

      Alt text

      With composition disabled:

      Alt text

      The dark theme bug deserves another post, I believe.

      I have tested Opera 45.0.2548.0 on another system, this one with Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, LXDE, using openbox with no composition. It has the black borders too.

        I can confirm this bug. GNU/Linux 64 box with OpenBox window manager and no video compositing manager (not even installed, will not install a compositing manager).

            hey, the problem with the menu is another known bug, so we will be fixing it.

              I hope, the build 46.0.2573.0 is the fifth dev build with the regression bug…

              I downgrade again to 45.0.2539.0

                Please do something about it. I was on opera developer until it reached version 45 and compositing messed up the menus. Then I moved to opera beta which was on version 44. When opera beta was updated to version 45 and the compositing problem was not solved, I moved to opera stable whuch is on version 44 now.

                If the problem exists by the time version 45 reaches stable, I will move to another browser.

                Debian testing x64 with openbox and with no compositing.

                  Opera 45 has reached rc today and neither the compositing problem, nor the dark theme problem* are solved yet, so I guess I should start looking for a new browser...

                    Yes, I also believe that it will be time for me to change to Vivaldi. The Opera Devs ignore this bug and this is also in the current Opera-Beta (45.0.2552.634) inside the soon to change stable.

                    I have spent a long time (since Opera 6.06) with Opera, it's time to go.

                      I won't switch to vivaldi though. I really hate nodejs-based (or electron) apps. I may switch to qupzilla. It has switched to chromium engine since version 2, it has opera's 12.x speed dial, built in adblock and it looks quite promising 🙂

                        Opera 45 reached stable a few minutes ago and neither the dark theme bug, nor the compositing one was solved. Goodbye opera.

                                  I confirm the "ugly border" bug on LMDE 2 with Trinity DE R14.0.4 installed.

                                      opera://flags/ => Override software rendering list (enable it).

                                        Other method: opera://settings/ => Browser => System => disable "Use hardware acceleration when available".

                                          opera://flags/?search=overr#ignore-gpu-blacklist and the another preferences does not help.

                                          Only enable the compositing manager…

                                            Both methods solve the effect of "big ugly black border" in my system (Slackware 14.0, x86).
