<![CDATA[Taskbar peek preview turns black when playing video]]>to reproduce:
1-start multiple New window (CTRL-N). lets say 3
2-on one window, start a youtube video like a music video
3-hover the mouse on the Opera icon on the taskbar. You should see video playing as it should
4-click on any other window that is not the video
5-hover again on the Opera icon on the taskbar. the video window is black and does not update

And, if you hover to the thumbnail peek preview, the video is completely black and not updating (picture-1)

Furthermore, sometimes all the peek preview on the Opera icon are completely blank (picture-2)
and same as picture-1, the entire web page is also blank as the taskbar icon when you hover the mouse on the window tab

But I can't reproduce it in 74 Beta and in 75 Dev.

See https://forums.opera.com/topic/43601/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-windows/1

What is the behavior in other browsers?
