          I tried reproducing this at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/1pgf9gq/whenever_i_open_opera_a_weird_red_bar_shows_up_at/, but wasn't able to.

            Opera One. It happens every time. I didn't try other themes except classic. This strip appears for less than 1 second and disappears. Exactly like that:

            I don't see a red full screen flash after minimizing and restoring again Opera window.

              According to the reddit thread users also have the red screen like I do. I'm on Win 10.

                I've just noticed! It really flashes when minimizing and restoring, but for a moment, I didn't pay attention before.
                Quote: "I also see a whole-page red screen when I hit (Windows key)+D (to see my desktop)." That is: Win+d and then once again Win+d. There's s also a full red screen.

                    @andrew84, on Windows 10. I don't like Win 11.

                      Maybe Win 10 only specific issue.

                      I reported the bug yet a week ago in Developer thread but there was no feedback (most are on Win 11 as it seems). So the bug now in Stable.

                      *And I guess the red bar on start is the same invisible bar on speed dial page., the bar cuts tiles and prevents scrolling full down.

                          @proshor Have you tried a test standalone installation of Opera Developer? You can get it from the "Opera Developer" section at https://www.opera.com/download.

                          Also, what specific version of Windows? (Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 23H2/24H2/25H2)?

                          I can't reproduce the issue myself on Windows 11 23H2 with my hardware, so was wondering.
