Cursor Loading Flickering?

In my case it appears to be any extension related to blocking ads. After disabling all of them, there is no more flickering of the mouse pointer / cursor.
Tested the following:
- AdBlock
- AdBlocker Ultimate
- Adguard AdBlocker
- Ghostery

This is not adblocking issue... Disabling AdBlock didn't change anything...

Hi opera-or-vivaldi,
I don't think it has much to do with adblocking. The only extension I had blocking stuff was uMatrix and even after I removed it the cursor still flickered. Google Maps is downright unsuable. I have no extensions enabled right now and the flickering is still occuring.

Same here and actually thought my computer was broken - it was literally that bad. Constant cursor loading/flashing on and off on every site, to the point that it makes them unusable. If Opera is running and any tab is open it affects the entire machine, for example if you're using another program but have Opera minimised and tabs open. This is a very serious issue - though I'm somewhat reassured seeing all the comments here and thus realising it's an Opera specific fault.
Enabled Hardware Acceleration as per the advice in this thread and the problem seems resolved for now. An instant fix. Please however do sort this out in the next update. It's basically making the browser unusable.

Also worth noting that enabling Hardware Acceleration has speeded Opera up significantly. Bookmarks and tabs used to lag before, and now everything is moving lightning fast - I'd recommend switching it on if you're yet to do so.

Has anyone tried the latest Beta version to see if this issue gets corrected? I would try if I could be sure I would lose my stuff and could revert back to the release version should any issues pop up.

same here, maps like google map, openstreetmap, etc are completly unuseable (cursor flickering, very slow reacting, etc)
in this case with hardware accelaration OFF (because on a laptop it should safe some battery power is off, shouldnt it?) -

Well, that was the case, but now even without any extension it flickers even more than before.In regards to the video card - mine is in the top 20 on videocardbenchmark.net and still I'm getting many frames dropped and stuttering on YouTube, when Hardware Acceleration is enabled. Everything seems to perform better when Hardware Acceleration is disabled, except this flickering now.

Install it as portable, if possible. -

To users above, I recognise your problems. Check out my final contribution in the following thread which worked for me, albeit a temporary solution. Good luck.
