Here the latest (24.12.1) Adrenalin-driver fixed it too.

At least so far.

As a test (not a solution), does disabling the "Multithreaded UI Compositor" flag at the URL opera://flags/#ui-compositor-multithreaded make any difference?

Changing all flags to default doesnt't change the behavior.

It started probably with developer Chromium 130.
MS Edge with Chromium 130/131 doesn't do it.

There is a discussion in this blog about the issue:
https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2024/11/opera-115/

This user, who also has an AMD graphics card experiences that problem:
hectormaciasa1979
I hope it solves a new problem I'm experiencing with Opera at home, I'm getting a black screen all over the page and can't see anything, happens randomly even in YouTube, I didn't change anything in the options I swear!!
I don't know if it's a graphic driver thing, it's AMD (RX6600) because at work it's all fine (built in Intel graphics).
Also Opera 114 I didn't have any problem.
Windows 11.

Here is an another user with an AMD:

What version of Windows? Where and when does it happen? Any steps to try to reproduce the issue?

Graphics card drivers are up to date?
