<![CDATA[Mysterious disappearing background window]]>Every time I start Opera (26.0 on Window 7 64-bit), a mysterious window opens in the background and immediately disappears. The Opera icon in the taskbar flashes as well. This also happens periodically while browsing as well. This only started happening during the last week or so. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks.

I'm running Opera with the --no-sandbox flag (see why here) and a command line window occasionally flashes briefly - the text in it says NOT SANDBOXED. It's only displayed for a very brief moment, I had to use screen recording software to be able to read it.

I tried disabling all extensions, didn't help.

The flashing window happened every time it refreshed. Thanks everyone. Nervous breakdown averted.

Every time I start Opera...

How do you start it? Last session? Fixed pages?
Extensions enabled?

But it all goes by in a small fraction of a second, so it's almost impossible to grasp any real details. Moreover, on my system, it only happens occasionally in a spot that I can observe (that is, if it's happening 'underneath' the apps normal opening window the rest of the time, there's no way for me to tell).
