<![CDATA[Opera GX icon on taskbar flashes when in full screen]]>Opera GX is broken for me in an annoying way

Whenever I try to play a game on fullscreen while having Opera GX open, it always leaves the taskbar on the screen for no reason, and then the Opera GX app icon starts flashing like I got a new notification on the discord app

I have reset all my settings, turned of all of my non-existant add-ons and my ad block and it still does this. I even have "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" active on my pc

Can someone please explain how to fix this? I'm personally guessing that this is a bug

Opera (GX) has been flashing red in the taskbar, and yes, even when my downloads list is empty and nothing is incomplete/errored. After a lot of testing, I feel that it is safe-ish to say I have found the problem.

When I alt-tab from a full screen game, and the alt tab page selector hovers on Opera GX, even if only for a second, Opera GX will flash red in the taskbar like there's no tomorrow. And yes, I have no failed downloads or errored downloads, and I'm on the latest build of Opera GX.

I am unsure if this is a problem specific to Opera GX, and not the Opera browser as a whole, but if anyone could help me that would be great. Maybe if somebody knows how to disable the taskbar flashing red for only this app, so I can keep other things flashing red too? Anyways, thanks for reading.
