<![CDATA[Maximizing Opera window creates a white bar on the top]]>Every other time I maximize an Opera window it creates this weird white bar on top, to fix it I have to double click twice on the title bar. It's annoying because every time I move a window to another monitor it automatically get re-maximized which results in this white bar appearing. Is there a fix?

Screenshots with and without the white bar for comparison:

Glad that Opera can roll out a fix within their software to address the issue. Microsoft's patching tends to be a bit slower.

This seems to be a Microsoft bug and it seems we'll have to wait for them to roll out a fix.

Here's the only other place I've seen this issue discussed:

I'm a new Opera user (within the past month), so I can't really say whether or not it's an update that's causing it.

Software:

  • Opera - 53.0.2907.37
  • Windows 10 Pro - Version 1803

I did recently update from Windows version 1709 to 1803. I'm not 100% sure, but it feels like a new issue that I didn't see on the previous version. I know Microsoft made a lot of changes as far as graphics and scaling go, so perhaps that could be a source.
