<ul>
<li>Browser: Opera One 135.0.5973.66 (arm64)</li>
<li>Chromium version: 151.0.7922.176</li>
<li>OS: macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 (build 25F84), Apple Silicon M1 (MacBook Air)</li>
<li>Display setup: MacBook internal display + 1 external monitor</li>
<li>Setting involved: Settings &gt; Video &gt; Video detaching &gt;<br />
"Make detaching transparent"</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Trigger context:</p>
<ul>
<li>After resetting Opera (opera://settings/reset), Picture-in-Picture<br />
worked correctly.</li>
<li>After signing back into my Opera account and letting sync run,<br />
the "Make detaching transparent" setting was re-enabled<br />
(presumably restored via settings sync), and PiP stopped working.</li>
<li>A "Synchronization has encountered a problem" message also<br />
appeared during this episode. I have not confirmed a direct<br />
causal link, but it coincided with the setting being restored.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Steps to reproduce:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to Settings &gt; Video &gt; Video detaching</li>
<li>Enable "Make detaching transparent"</li>
<li>Open a video (reproduced on YouTube and Dailymotion)</li>
<li>Click the video's Picture-in-Picture button</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Observed result:</p>
<ul>
<li>The PiP button visually reacts (icon changes) and the video area<br />
on the page turns black, as if PiP were activating.</li>
<li>No floating window ever appears on screen.</li>
<li>No corresponding window shows up in Mission Control (F3) either —<br />
so the window is not simply mispositioned or off-screen, it is<br />
never created at all.</li>
<li>No error appears in the DevTools console when clicking the button.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Expected result:</p>
<ul>
<li>A floating, transparent PiP window should appear, exactly as it<br />
does when the "transparent" setting is disabled.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Workaround found:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Disable "Make detaching transparent"</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Click PiP → window appears normally</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Re-enable "Make detaching transparent" while the PiP window is<br />
already open → it becomes transparent without any issue</p>
<p dir="auto">This shows the transparent rendering itself works fine; the bug<br />
is specifically in creating a <em>new</em> PiP window while the<br />
transparent setting is already active.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Additional note: after a full reset (extensions disabled, settings<br />
cleared), PiP works correctly. The issue reappears after signing<br />
back in and letting account sync complete, suggesting sync restores<br />
this "transparent" setting to its enabled state.</p>
