Intel Celeron CPU 1000M - Driver v. 6.2.9200.16451
That narrows it down to the HD 2500 or HD 4000 for 3rd-gen Intel processors.
Looking for the last driver for those on the Intel website brings me to https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/97499/Graphics-for-3rd-Generation-Intel-Processors. The first one in the list is for Win 8.1 etc. If you view the release notes for it, it's version 10.18.10.5059. For the others, those are WinXP drivers and are 6.xxxx drivers. Makes me wonder if your 6.2 drivers (while working on Win 8.1), are the correct and latest drivers.
@derloopkat has Win 8.1 and HD 4xxxx Intel GPU too. Wonder if that matters.

@rejzor What specific Nvidia/Intel GPUs can you reproduce with? Can you reproduce with Vivaldi, Chromium and Chrome also or just Opera?

@derloopkat Have you tried ths newest driver from Intel?
When I try to update my Acer laptop using the Intel Assistant I get this error:
A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver & Support Assistant is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer."*
So I've got my serial number and checked Acer web site support. It seems I have the latests "customized" driver version provided by Acer.
Aspire E1-572, Model Name: E1-572, Windows 8.1 64bits

Yeah, the intel drivers are generic, but they might work better. You have to ignore that warning or uninstall your current drivers first to use the ones directly from Intel. They could work worse as said, but there's only one way to find out.

@tabmow I'm with you on this.
Just today Opera updated to Version:56.0.3051.52 and the text box issue other's have posted have shown up.
I'm on Win 10 x64 - 1803
newest driver for Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 416.34 - WHQL
Release Date Thu Oct 11, 2018Turning off hardware acceleration fixed it but what's up with this bug? It wasn't there in the previous version of Opera I had before hand. Can't say exactly what version it was though.

Using each version of 56b (Win 10, 1803).
So, it started with https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2018/08/opera-56-beta/ at least?
Can someone with this problem check with the first build of 56 to hit the developer channel? https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2018/07/opera-56-developer/
If it doesn't happen there, see https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-56/#b3003.0 and move up to the next 56 build to see if you can narrow it down to the first 56 build that has the problem.
If it does happen in that first 56 developer build, see https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-55/ and try the newest builds of 55 and work backwards till you don't have the issue anymore.

As in, it works fine in the last Windows build before which is 56.0.3051.31?
Can you download the installer for 56.0.3051.31, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", install and try in that Opera to make sure?

@derloopkat To get around that you need to go into the device manager, manually update the driver, choose "Have Disk", then point it to an extracted version of that driver. (Use 7-zip and right-click -> Extract the Intel driver update.) Once you replace the OEM specific driver with a generic intel one, you can install it properly immediately after. I did that to an old HP laptop a while back, and saw WEI scores jump from like 4.9 to 5.4. What a difference an up to date graphics driver makes.
That said, guess why I am here?
Flickering crazy selection crap (up to 4 different shades/colours jostling and jumping around in the background as I type) on:
Win10 x64 1803
GTX 1070
391.35I typically have at least two or three web browsers open at once, and also office software like LibreOffice.

@kramy Could you also try narrowing it down to the first build that has this issue on your system?

391.35Searching for the latest driver for the 1070, I get https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/139606/en-us, which is 416.81. Can you try that one just to see if there's any difference?

I'm testing on a Win10 x64 laptop with an Intel n4200 that has an HD 505 GPU and can confirm the issue,
As in, it works fine in the last Windows build before which is 56.0.3051.31?
The issue is still in that build too. I'm going to keep trying previous builds to see if I can find out when the issue started exactly. However, with Opera Developer build 58.0.3134.0, I can't reproduce the problem. So, maybe the issue is already fixed.

I can also confirm that the issue doesn't affect Chrome, Chromium and Vivaldi.

Issue still present following Opera 56.0.3051.99 update on my Win 8, 64 Bit using Intel built in graphics.
Solution still the same: Turn off hardware acceleration.

Is the color you're seeing reddish?
No. It's gray or blue.

Anything's possible, but doesn't seem related atm.

I can confirm that https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/changelog-for-56/#b3003.0 is the very first build that has the problem. 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.
