<![CDATA[pop-out video not resizing]]>So, I used to be able to resize the pop-out video quite easily by dragging the corners of the player to my liking, but for the past two days I've not been able to do so. Once I pop-out a window it appeared really small and I couldn't do anything about it. I then proceeded to restore the original settings which did make the pop-out video a bit bigger but not as big as I'd like it to be. It's quite annoying because I'm trying to watch the World Cup as I'm working. Anyone else having the same problem? The arrows appears when you place the mouse on the borders of the player, but when you try to click and drag it does nothing. Quite frustrating...

I hope they can stabilise this feature as for me it is one of my key reasons for using Opera. Anyway, if it breaks again I know what to do, although it is a bit drastic.

Just keep clicking the pop out video quickly much like making it pause and play and you see the pop out video getting bigger. This only work when i want to make the pop out video bigger but still didn't find a workaround to make it smaller but atleast now i can make it bigger. Such a SHAME opera can't fix this bug for months.

Just do the steps again and you will be fine

Thanks. I resized the popout window to a rather large size. After that I am able to resize the popout window using resize handles.

In the Appdata/Roaming, there's a folder called "Opera Software" and inside of it is "Opera Stable". Then find the "Preferences" file and edit the string thingy called "window_placement_video_popout" then change the "height" and "left" that you want. This allows you not to lose your history, cookies, passwords and etc.

I hope this helps you

The three black borders happens here also on every stream.

I have no issues resizing the pop-out player as long as I hover over the border of the video rather than the video player.

This method of a clean profile worked at first, but after only half a day it went back to the video sizing being locked for me and the video being smaller. is yours still working?
