@bigkwii UPDATE:
Disabling the Vulkan flag at opera://flags/ seems to have fixed it.

I updated my drivers today (RTX 3060Ti) and soon after Opera GX started acting a little funky, amongst other oddities.

See pics, they're pretty self-explanatory.

Opera Menu:

Text highlight prompt:

Update: Yup, that seems to have fixed it. Go to opera://flags and set #use-angle to OpenGL or anything that's not undefined

One more thing: I went into opera://flags and noticed that my #use-angle flag was set to Default (Undefined). I set it to OpenGL now. Also, I set #enable-vulkan to Enabled because why not. I'll update after a few days of use to report if the bug is still happening.

@oogabalooga42 I did some digging around and it's allegedly a Chromium related bug, rather than being specifically a Opera GX thing. Opera GX, along with many other browsers are based on Chromium, so they inherit its bugs in some way. Which sucks, because if that's the case, it means there's not much the GX devs can do.

Though this is mostly just speculation on my part, I haven't tested with other Chromium based browsers. I'm just going by what I've read online.

I've been having this problem at random for a few days now. White squares or boxes flash over the screen before disappearing.

I haven't been able to get a screenshot of it in action since this glitch only lasts for a few frames, so here's a recreation of what it looks like:

I've noticed this tends to happen more often on Youtube, and disabling hardware acceleration seems to prevent this from happening.

In case this is hardware related, my specs are:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X @ 4.5GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
RAM: 16GB @ 3200 MHz
And I have a 165Hz monitor.

I recently set my memory clock to XMP. Could that have something to do with it?

I'm also using a custom made Mod with a video background, but I haven't encountered this bug on the Speed Dial.

@leocg Yup, that jumps to 100% too

@leocg Yes, Youtube's volume also snaps to 100%

This seems to happen when using the pop-up's volume slider. It seems to snap back to a previous volume setting it had for some reason. But I'm not sure. It's hard to troubleshoot this because it really seems to happen at random.

I usually have a video open with picture-in-picture and my 2nd monitor while I work or am playing a game, as background noise for the most part, so I usually lower the video's volume by quite a bit.

Recently, I've noticed that at random, the volume snaps to 100%. I've tried to replicate it manually, but it really seems to happen at random. Although I've noticed that it happens more often when playing games.

I have a feeling this isn't a bug pertaining to Opera GX itself, but rather something else going on with my pc or youtube. In any case, If anybody has encountered this same issue, I would really appreciate if you would let me know.

This isn't life or death. Using wine for it is an option after all, although hardly optimal. I just love Opera GX and was wondering if I should expect a Linux version some time in the future.

I understand that this would be quite the task, but there's certainly demand for it. Just consider for a moment that there's a good chunk of users that are willing to run it under wine, despite the performance issues and crashes that may cause, over using another browser.
