      My opera GX, When I put it in full screen on the YouTube or Twitter video, the entire page also remains after I press F, I have to take it out of full screen twice, Does anyone know what it could be?

        @zecalins What about using Esc or F11?

          @leocg I have been having the same issue. When a video is in fullscreen and I try to exit(either by pressing F, F11, or Esc), the browser itself stays fullscreen and I have to exit fullscreen again by either pressing F11 or using the right-click context menu.
          Visually:

          • I am in a video.
          • I exit fullscreen using either F, F11, or Esc
          • It exits properly for a moment(maybe 1/5 of a second)
          • The browser re-enters fullscreen with the prompt "Press [F11] to exit fullscreen."

            @mistly have you tried double clicking on the video to exit full screen? are you maybe able to scroll down from the fullscreen?

              @krillechill I dont think the method at which I exit fullscreen matters. The matter of fact is that when exiting once the browser re-enter fullscreen. I am allowed to exit fullscreen again, but that means I have to exit twice every time I leave a video.
              But whatever, I went down my list of possible video-altering extensions and found it do be caused by this extension: Volume Controller. It's quite silly that it'd be that one, but I haven't had issues since I removed it.
              The extension itself was quite buggy, but I kind of just dealt with it. I would've just used the top result volume controller extension but I was trying to find one that wasn't too obstructive. I now have the top result Volume Master. While it is obstructive it works as intended.

              If anyone else is having this issue, I would recommend disabling one extension at a time and checking if the issue persists.
