      @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-composition or --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.

              @leocg all that does is reload this thread.

                It points to my previous post. Now you read it again and do what you forgot to do.

                  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.

                      @dan50 said in Gamefaqs.gamespot has messed up text boxes after last update.:

                      and other times when I am typing it is highlighting what I type in blue,

                      I see a thread on that at https://forums.opera.com/topic/28779/colored-background-showing-in-text-search-fields.

                          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. 0_1538748811464_2018-10-05 10_12_38-Window.png

                            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.

                                            So, I have a problem. On some websites (like LiveJournal and Dreamwidth), typing in a text box highlights in blue everything I type

                                            -see image-

                                            as well as the bottom of the text box. It also highlights certain things in gray when I hover over them.

                                            -see image-

                                            Some buttons (like a 'logout' button, for example) look like I've clicked them when I hover over them. Though, they don't get clicked. This only seems to happen on blogging sites that are not affiliated with one another.

                                            Things I've tried:
                                            Restarted my computer.
                                            Uninstalled Opera and Re-installed
                                            Uninstalled again, restarted again, re-installed again
                                            Re-set my settings

                                            Nothing works. I hate this update lol. And Please just help me in this thread. Don't link to any other posts unless there is a direct answer for this specific issue. I want real help here, I'm close to uninstalling Opera and leaving it that way
