Version 23.0.1522.60 appears to be the latest stable version for download, and this issue is present there. Could anyone please advise me on how to get the version with the fix?

I am suffering from the same problem in Opera 24 with Windows 8.1. Whenever I press the windows-button, the start menu, but obviously not the taskbar pops up.

It doesnt happen all the time, but at random moments.

Is there any way to fix this without having to resize the screen all the time? This issue is preventing me from working efficiently.

Same here. On Windows 7 x64, with Opera 24:

• Main window is always on top of other applications (in full-screen and also in windowed mode)
• In full-screen, I can't access my Windows auto-hidden taskbar.

And just as said Mesecur before me, it prevents me too from working efficiently, and I would add that it's a very big annoyance. I was defenitely happier back when Presto was still here...

Same problem.

Opera 26.0.1656.24. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

When is Opera going to fix this permanently? It is one of the reasons I can't recommend Opera to other people. It's annoying and it's amateurish. Just because there's a workaround doesn't mean that Opera can let this problem go unresolved. Most people don't look at forums for solutions. They move on to something that doesn't have the problem.

I have this problem with Opera 28.0.1750.48 Stable.

This is a known Chrome bug, which Chrome has failed to fix since forever, like they just give a ****. Since Opera is using the same engine, the bug is there too.

Sackese, never had any such problem in Chrome.
Though I don't use fullscreen, basically.

I use full screen due to being on a laptop. The way around this problem is to "maximize" the window dragging the edges to almost fit the screen, leaving about 1 mm around.

But that's not a solution. The task bar must have maximum priority to the screen, even if it's auto-hiding, as it is an essential part of the OS.
