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?

@rejuvenator, I have the same issue. This happens not only with youtube videos, but with any video content which is played in full screen mode. I noticed that thing long ago on the previous versions of Opera. May be it is not the Opera issue, but codecs or a Linux distribution.
P.S. Just test it in Chromium and Firefox. Everything works fine. There is no white strip at the top in full screen mode. I think that it's a Opera's bug.

Noticed the same thing. Seems to have appeared with the 67.0.3575.53 update a few days ago. Def an Opera bug.

@vanillapop I had this issue on Opera 66, and may be even on 65. I noticed it a long time ago, but didn't pay any attention to it. I thought that it was something wrong with my system. I'm on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon.

@pindos Actually, it's not even just on videos. It happens in full screen mode in general. Try going full screen (F11) on any page with a dark background. Highly irritating.

I'm on Manjaro 20.1 and Opera 70 and bug is still present. Dear devs, maybe its much faster to make that strip black in fullscreen?

Making it black doesn't fix the problem I'm mainly worried about - when I'm playing games, the site doesn't even register the mouse when it's at the top of the screen, which is Insanely annoying. The line I have is a single pixel thick, and I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.05

@michaeldn What about 73, the current stable version?

@leocg Yep v73 still has issue; setting youtube to dark mode does nothing but setting opera to dark mode changes the bar from white to black (or very dark grey) so it's not noticeable. I just don't like dark mode.

@michaeldn i dont like dark mode neither. By the way, white strip shows up on all online video in full screen, not only on YouTube.

This bug was introduced on version 66 and it's still present on 74. As other users said, it's not limited to full screen videos, but full screen in general.

How come a bug like this is making one year anniversary?
