I agree. Opera sucks balls. Fuck off and die!

I'll consider this satire - especially given the "signature" - and as such it belongs in the Lounge.

Possibly this https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=461776

great! that really works! 😃

thx a lot!

as for the ominous reactangle: it always comes in the same size. which is why i still suppose it's a chrome issue - as though some widget's constructor is called and then the destructor immediately afterwards, not recognizing that some resources have been allocated: the area the widget "thinks" it would be occupying has been copied to memory, but isn't placed back on the screen. hence the black "nothing".

there is of course still another possibility, at least in theory. as i said in this thread i'm using hardware acceleration in opera-stable only, but not in the developer version, and in opera-developer the rectangle doesn't appear. but however esoterical this might be for an explanation, it doesn't explain why the effect appears in the manner it does.

just with the purpose of bringing this issue back to opera's attention (meaning that i'm still in hope someone actually cares about it):

(1) i removed the whole .config/opera-stable/ directory, only the files connected with my browsing history (cookies, history, stash, and so forth) i first moved out of the way. then i forced dpkg via mc to re-install opera-stable and opera to create its .config directory from scratch.

(2) i modified the opera://flags so that hardware acceleration is enabled.

(3) the problem persists. i get the audio, but a black rectangle where the video should be.

here's what the opera://gpu summary says:

the problem clearly starts at line 1909 in gles2_cmd_decoder.cc, because this is what the first error messages states:
[0119/051925:ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder.cc(1909)] : [.PPAPIContext]GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION : ScopedFrameBufferBinder::ctor: was unhandled

that's all i can do for you gays, short of dropping my pants. but for that i first might want to get to know you better. 😉

any suggestions on how i can circumvent things without disabling hardware acceleration?
