Hi @xpvb48, you can try the following: re-enable hardware acceleration, go to
opera:flags#force-color-profile, and select "sRGB" from the drop-down, then press "Relaunch now" button, and see if this helps.Thanks l33t4opera,
Tried that didn't work, same as before. I don't know if any of the other force-color-profile settings would help.
My Win 8, 64 Bit laptop uses Intel HD Graphics hardware with driver ver 9.17.10.3040 which I tried to update via the MS Update Driver button and it didn't find any newer. Perhaps I can get something direct from Intel Support. In the meanwhile the solution for my machine still seems to be to turn off hardware acceleration.

l33t4opera last edited by l33t4opera@joostmeij, @xpvb48 Maybe instead of completely disabling HW, you can try to launch the Opera with one of the following switches:
"\path\to\launcher.exe" --disable-direct-compositionor--disable-gpu-compositing, and if it helps, add appropriate switch at the end of the shortcut, which you use to run the Opera - of course as a workaround, until the time it will be fixed either in new version of the driver for your graphics card, or in the Chromium/Opera's code. -

Windows 10 64-bit with Opera 56.0.3051.36 64-bit, if I goto https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77067417, log in and click "post new message", I get the message editor. But, mine looks fine and the text field is all white. It doesn't have gray strips at the top and bottom.
Can you type anywhere in there? As in, is it just messed up look-wise? I can't tell from the pic.
What happens if you open a private window, and try things there? Do you have any extensions? If so, disable them to see if one is causing the problem.

I couldn't confirm with the time field at http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc or the search field at http://www.btmon.com/. The text does not get highlighted when I type or when I click in the field.
Opera 56.0.3051.36 64-bit on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Joined the forum today just to say I have this too and would really like to know how to disable as its quite annoying.This has only appeared in the past week or so. It doesn't appear to happen on all sites just a few. One of them happens to be our Helpdesk software at work. Its called webhelpdesk.

I've tried your suggestions l33t4opera, thanks.
--disable-direct-composition doesn't have any effect, whereas --disable-gpu-compositing does cure the problem
with hardware acceleration turned on.
I have found likely newer graphics drivers on the Intel support site and, after I make sure which are the correct ones, I'll try updating.

...trouble is, just found out with that flag setting I can't see videos on BBC News site. They play OK with straight hardware acceleration off. So that still remains the fix for now.

I've recently noticed that input fields or textareas on websites are not behaving as expected and they get this default Windows button sort of look. You can see what happens in the screenshots below.
The Opera version is 56.0.3051.36 and it's running on Windows 10. There are no plugins or any special addons installed in the browser and this behavior happens on any website. Since it looks kind of like a graphical glitch, it may be worth mentioning that the graphics card used is Intel HD Graphics 620. In Edge or Firefox, there is no such problem.
Do you know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Yeah, I'm having the same highlighting issues too on several other websites. The moderator itt has not been helpful at all, so I was disappointed when I found this thread. At least I'm not alone. I hope you resolve your issue soon - if you do, please share what you did! This highlight is an annoyance.

You can temporaraily disable hardware acceleration (or GPU compositing) - there seems to exist some incompatibility between Intel video and Opera. There are few other threads with similar problem; I'm waiting for fix either.
