@chillykarma I can now confirm it occasionally happens even with the tab in focus and I have also noticed on other sites now.

Youtube pausing at random when playing in background or opening new tab.Opera for Windows
This is an odd behavior that started a couple weeks ago and I cannot manage to replicate consistently: youtube randomly pauses itself when I have it playing in background, also it randomly pauses when I open a new tab, be it a bookmark or a search in new tab (both via the search popup, right click drop down menu and drag&drop to tab bar).
Private mode seems to not present the issue, though that doesn't necessarily mean it's not there, it simply didn't happen while I was testing it: sometimes I'll go a whole day without it happening, other times it will happen on an hourly basis or thereabouts.This only happens on youtube, nowhere else that plays video of any kind.
Things I've tried to no avail:
- Clearing all history, cache and cookies
- Fresh install
- Disabling all extensions (I only use ublock anyway, with native opera adblocker off)
- Disabling the "remind me to take a pause" feaure in the youtube settings.
Any ideas?

Please let us disable tab hover cards completelySuggestions and feature requests
It's good that fast tab tooltip has now become optional but please, expand that option to disabling tab hover cards completely: they are hugely distracting and completely redundant. At least have a flag for it for advanced users.
(In case someone reading might not know what they are: they are that huge white popup that appears when you hover on an open tab for a second while on a desktop Opera browser.)
Thanks.

RE: Opera 86 developerBlogs
@leocg: ok it's only in opera developer, I was looking for it on the standard browser. Even with it off the tooltips are still huge though. They reach lower than the bookmarks bar. It's incredibly distracting.

RE: Opera 86 developerBlogs
@leocg: Could you tell me how to find it, because I can't. If you're talking about the #fast-tab-tooltip setting in opera://flags, then no it's been removed.

RE: Opera 86 developerBlogs
Let people toggle off the fast tabs tooltip option, it's a mess: don't force it on users.

Video popout fullscreen toggleSuggestions and feature requests
It would be great to have a button on the video popout window that makes it fill the screen as a borderless window when pressed. That way if I'm watching something (say a livestream) I could easily switch to and from fullscreen when something else needs attention and still keep the video on top.
Thanks for reading.

Video popout fullscreen toggleSuggestions and feature requests
Video popout is currently one of the best multitasking features of any browser. It would be nice to be able to right click anywhere on the popout window to toggle fit-to-screen fullscreen on and off, without having to switch to the original tab to do so.
It would also be good to rework the popout border to make resizing the window less fiddly.
Thanks

A few suggestionsSuggestions and feature requests
I don't know if long posts or multiple suggestions per thread are allowed on this board. Apologies if they are not. Here are a few suggestions for minor improvements to a great browser.
First of all, a few suggestions for the video popout function:
-
Tweak the video popup window to make pausing (clicking anywhere on the video) and closing (clicking on the easier: sometimes the video popout is dragged around when trying to close.
-
Allow closing the video popout window by pressing ESC when in focus. Allow spacebar play/pause hotkey.
-
Add a fullscreen toggle button/hotkey and a proper volume slider to the video popout window.
And here are a few general suggestions:
-
Allow to drag and drop a bookmark into a folder in the bookmark bar, directly onto the folder icon instead of having to drop it into the list of content of the folder
-
Allow for mousewheel scrolling in the bookmark bar side popup when many bookmarks exist
-
Allow interface customization to remove unwanted elements from the toolbars.
Thank you for your time and effort and an excellent product.
