      Hello, I seem to have a problem. The cursor freezes every time I pause a YouTube video while I am mid watching it(not at the beginning) and on fullscreen and I have to click for the video to start playing, in order for the cursor to be usable again. Since I have some extensions and personal preferences registered on "Opera stable", I've tried it on the "Opera developer" version, right from the installation (without any extensions or tweaks) and it is doing the same thing. I've tried it on my Chrome browser to see if it is a problem from my system or from YouTube and it doesn't have the same problem. Can you help me? Thank you.

        @palx I Failed to mention that the mouse is a wireless M185 Logitech mouse. So from what I understand, it has something to do with the wireless mouse signal, when hardware acceleration in Opera starts...… For whoever has the same problem, after some research, I found out that if you close the "Use hardware acceleration when available" in the options menu, it resolves the problem...…..In the opera://gpu/ i see "Hardware Protected Video Decode: Unavailable" and 'Vulkan: Disabled" with red letters, does that have something to do with it? Does anybody have any idea, how to resolve the problem without having to disable "Use hardware acceleration when available"?

          @palx I see that if you go to "opera://flags/ " and enable "Override software rendering - list#ignore-gpu-blocklist" it resolves
          "Hardware Protected Video Decode" from "Unavailable" to "Hardware accelerated" but what does that really mean?
