<![CDATA[Unintended Strobing Videos]]>For some reason, whenever I play a video, anywhere, borders and other areas begin flashing, constantly! What the hell is up with that? And it's been going on for quite some time, many months, just as passwords not being saved. Why is it so hard for Opera to even do basic functions?

It's still sitting on the bottom right of this window, and I've opened and closed Opera several times already. What do I have to do to get rid of it, whatever it is?

And any idea about the flashing/strobing issue? Oops, for a minute I thought it wasn't happening anymore, but soon as the YouTube page fully loaded, the strobing began. That's another infuriating aspect, of videos just auto-playing whenever I re-open Opera, they'll begin long before the page full loads, and so there's not even a pause button or stop button for me to kill the video! So I have to wait until it loads, but of course, it'll play right from jump... makes no sense....

If it doesn't allow this, why doesn't it say what to do, and why does it leave this red circle with a black eye shaped image on it, sitting on the page???

You can upload it somewhere and paste the link to it here.

Great...
