      Hi,

      When watching YouTube in normal windowed mode, the video player randomly loses keyboard focus while I use the Left and Right Arrow keys to rewind or fast-forward. When this happens, the focus jumps to Opera's address bar, so the arrow keys stop controlling the video.

      The issue does not happen in fullscreen mode and only happens in Opera. I tested other browsers and they work correctly.

      I have already tried:

      • Opera Private/Incognito mode
      • Disabling all extensions
      • Disabling Video Pop-out / Automatic Picture-in-Picture
      • Restarting Opera
      • Clicking the video player again before using the arrow keys

      The problem still happens consistently.

      Opera version: 133.0.5932.85

      Has anyone experienced this or found a solution?

        Update:

        I have confirmed that this issue is not limited to YouTube. Opera can also randomly move the keyboard focus from other websites to the address bar.

        I have also reproduced the problem in a completely clean portable installation of Opera, using a new profile with default settings, no imported data, no account and no extensions installed.

        It happens less frequently in the portable version, but it still occurs. Therefore, the issue does not appear to be caused by my regular profile, extensions or custom settings.
