<![CDATA[Why is Opera constantly highlighted in Taskbar?]]>Hi. I noticed that sometimes my GX gets in a mood where it is highlighted in the taskbar all the time:

There are no downloads going, nothing at all on the ctrl-J screen. If I fire up another instance, the new instance isn't doing it:

The new instance acts normally. Even when I'm active on the new instance, the original is in the bright highlighted mode.

Any ideas as to why that happens?

I don't have any downloads and I didn't see anything that stuck out in extensions. I've disabled all extensions except three I really need so I'll have to see if it does it again. Thanks.

Look at your Downloads panel and see if anything there says it failed; if not, then check Extensions to see if one indicates a problem.

Which menu, Opera GX's I assume? I don't see anything:
