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.

Normally disabled, but I wonder if it is related?
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.

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

Small update. 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.

@burnout426 It's still weird Opera was unable to find this out for entire version 56. And it'll apparently be around till Opera 58 comes out far in the future. A bit annoying.

@rejzor Yeah, it's weird. The change that fixes the issue should be in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/71.0.3569.0..71.0.3573.0?pretty=fuller&n=10000. Maybe someone can narrow it down.

The change that caused this issue should be somewhere in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/68.0.3440.106..69.0.3452.0?pretty=fuller&n=10000. Maybe someone can narrow that down too.

Is this ever going to get fixed? Where are the boffins at Opera? Seems like I've had about 8 updates since the problem started including the one today and still the problem persists
