<![CDATA[Why is there a white strip at the top of youtube video in full screen?]]>I've noticed a very thin strip (or stripe if you will) at the top of youtube videos in full screen. That only happens in Opera and not in other browsers. Any idea why that might be and what to do about it?

@sgunhouse Thank you, I found the button, a gray button top center of video screen with three stars, button turns blue when activated, when you hover over button another pops up on right hand side of that button which looks like a line through the center of a screen... Much appreciated... Thanks for taking the time to post the answer that's helped me with this white line through the videos I've been watching..

Must have your a watching fo very love to meet you too✌️😁

@inequitas
OK thanks.
It is located in the “video optimization” and can be switched off there. It's nice how Opera is desperately trying to get rid of long-term users. Everything was OK with Win-Edge :-c.

Very good condition

Personally I didn't think that even worked on Linux. However, there should also be a button over the video and clicking that should turn it off.

White vertical line follows position of curser until curser passes border of video frame then remains at which ever side the curser was last at. one occasion I used hmdi output to tv and when i moved the curser to second screen the white line jumped from the edge of the video frame to the center of video frame until curser was brought back on to the same monitor screen that the video was playing on..

Any ideas yet how to fix?

It is only Linux feature or bug. Other browsers (Chrome, Firefox) don't show this white strip.

I know this is for Linux, but it's also happening on Windows too.

You know it is so much time has passed... For a long of those years... My country is now struggling against russian aggression. It is has passed over 2 years, even bug tracker ticket got. But for over 2 years this bug is living in opera on linux. You know... Even my company, I'm working for, it is has banned opera. I'm tired of waiting for this bug to be solved.

Add 'UBlock' to the extensions.. Right click the trouble spot, and create the block for it..

I disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available" under Settings/Advanced/System and was able to get rid of that white strip 🙂 I haven't checked yet if disabling hw acceleration causes slow performance when surfing.

In fact there is a high chance that it will just be marked as a duplicate.
