<![CDATA[Colored background showing in text/search fields]]>Using each version of 56b (Win 10, 1803). I'm finding in many forms (but not most search fields) that the field highlights with a colored background as I type, or highlights the whole field if I click right after the last letter entered. It's typically blue but it depends on the site. To get rid of it while typing, I have to click in the text, but when I start typing again it comes back. And it stays that way, covering the whole of what I typed, often even if I delete the typed text. I'd post a screenshot, but they don't pick it up. I tried other browsers on the same sites and it's only happening with Opera. The only significant change I made around the same time as 56b first showed was updating to the latest Windows version from the previous one. Is there something in Opera, such as new a setting or new feature that's causing this, or could it be coming from a Windows setting somewhere? Besides being a distraction, on some sites it makes entering information a lot harder.

For example, it happened here (which is a search field): http://www.btmon.com/
Or here, when filling in one's choice of time: http://www.timezoneconverte...

So I turned hardware acceleration off, then checked and everything was fine. I turned it back on and surprisingly the problem is gone for now.
I'll reply if that changes.

This was fixed in earlier builds of 58. Opera just released 58 to the stable channel, so if you're up to date, you should no longer see this problem.

Can anyone else confirm this is now fixed for you in Opera 58?

This is not graphic cards problem! Opera developers lazy! I've been through this error for a year. I've reported it all the time. Still not fixed. Why is no problem in vivaldi, chrome and other browsers based on chromium? Because the opera developers are lazy!

Lately I noticed problem with Opera browser. On some pages I get graphic artifacts. For example on reddit comment field changes colors to different gray shades, then even change as I resize comment field. Also text typed in comment field on reddit have blue background. Problem is I'm not even sure if it's a problem with Opera or GPU or drivers. So here's how it looks:
Problem exists on RTX2070 I currently own (I even got first one replaced, because I thought those artifacts are a result of hardware failure), all available drivers for RTX cards (from 416.34 to 417.22), after reinstalling system, reinstalling drivers with DDU.
Problem don't exist on other browsers (Vivaldi, Chrome, Firefox), problem also don't exist on Opera when I use my old card (GTX560) with drivers 391.35 and older (391.35 is newest I can install for GTX560).
I can't confirm if it's driver problem as I can't install newest drivers for old GPU (and I don't have any problems there), I can't also install old drivers for current GPU. Furthermore problem is not existing on other browser, but at the other hand it didn't occur on Opera on first run (appeared after few hours on both new and old card).
So it may be that I'm very unlucky and somehow both my RTX cards started to die, but thing is problem occurs ONLY on Opera. No other browser, no benchmark or game causes any problems.

You're literally removing a functionality on entire browser level for something broken on one page. That's like cutting an arm off because of an infection instead of just consuming some antibiotics...

This was ON, changing to OFF and tapping 'Relaunch' button seems to have cleared the issue.

It looks like the issue started when Opera updated to Chromium 69.0.3452.0 and it was fixed in Opera (in Opera 58) when Opera updated to Chromium 71.0.3573.0. So far, it looks like a change in Chromium affected something in Opera only. Just not sure what change in Chromium was the culprit and why it only affect Opera.

Actually, that might not have anything to do with the issue.

Looking at the changelog, the only one that stands out is "DNA-70601 Input elements lost Opera style". Opera 58 still seems to not have the issue.
