      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

        to reproduce picture-2 issue, click twice on the Show Desktop (far bottom-right on system tray)
        that will minimize all Windows and restore them all. Then hover Opera taskbar icon

              @flic Still can't reproduce.

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

              What is the behavior in other browsers?

                I can confirm the bug in Opera 73 Portable on Win 8.1x64.
                But I can't reproduce it in 74 Beta and in 75 Dev.
