@leocg when the resize cursor appears on the pop-out video and you try to resize it; it doesn't do anything....also every time i want to use this feature, the standard size of the pop-out video becomes smaller...Here is an gif explaining the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g21cm8f1gvdeujw/opera.gif?dl=0

@ashrayspin Here I can resize the video pop-out without problems.

Did you check with a clean profile?

@leocg what do you guys mean by a clean profile? I've logged off and on from everything, closed all my tabs (had quite a few open), cleared my history and cookies, reset my configurations and ultimately un-installed and installed it again, the problem continues for me.

@leocg hey thanks for the feedback. I'm not really savvy with this stuff, I went there and it took me to a folder named 'Opera Stable,' should I just rename the whole folder to something else or is it a file inside this folder that I need to rename? I looked for a 'profile' folder or file inside this directory but could not find any. Also, does it matter what I rename it to? Sorry for all the questions, I really do appreciate any feedback.

@leocg nevermind, I changed the name for 'Opera Stable' and it worked. Thanks again for all the help!

@ashrayspin just following up on this. 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?

I do have the black borders on the left, right, and bottom of the video player.

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.

Win10 x64
Opera 54.0.2952.54

For those with problems, try out with a Private Window / Clean profile.

The three black borders happens here also on every stream.

@sirlinx I found a way to fix it. 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
