@leocg Same problem here, too. Some white parts of some websites are automatically rendered with forced dark mode, and the only way to read the text is to enable to force dark mode so the black text in black background becomes white text in black background. This is a massive bug, and I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible since it drastically hinders browsing experience.

Hello. Since last month or so with the Opera GX 67, I realized that I was unable to use Discord voice chat because Discord web on Opera GX was stuck saying "RTC Connecting" and wouldn't allow me to neither speak nor hear the other person. I used Discord web on Opera for years without problems, and with Opera GX since its inception. I tried everything (deleted and did a clean reinstall of all my audio drivers, reset/reinstalled Opera Gx and tested without any extensions installed, ...) to fix it, but none of that worked.

Then I thought of switching to normal Opera (68), and the issue was resolved. Just because of this issue I abstained from using Opera GX and deleted it. I had to put up with the ugly and dysfunctional theme of the Opera (dark theme, the only other option besides the light theme), because of which I was having trouble discerning which tab was my current tab among many open tabs (dark gray on black is a really bad idea).

Anyhow, yesterday I realized with joy that the Opera GX was finally updated to version 68 and installed it right away and uninstalled the normal Opera. But what do I see, the problem is still there. I still can't use Discord web and I had to download the Discord app which I never wanted to use in the first place. I did this because I really can't stand the normal Opera, but you guys seriously need to find what is causing this problem with the Discord web on Opera and fix it as soon as possible since this is a major issue which has been going around for a month.

Thank you.

This shouldn't be that much of a problem as long as no critical security issues or critical bugs present themselves, but Opera GX started crashing itself randomly and consistently after the last update, and no update is in sight.

I thought, with all the spotlight given to the GX by the Opera team, that GX would live on to be this glorious novel browser. Throwing a massive first birthday to the browser and then seemingly abandon it for months is just weird, extremely weird.

@burnout426 Thanks for the reply. It doesn't happen each time I highlight something (thankfully), and usually it happens when I quickly highlight different parts of a text, but it is so unpredictable that sometimes it happens right away. I now tried to reproduce it to no avail, but it still happens at least once or twice during my normal browser usage (I tend to highlight a bit more than the average user, I assume, especially when reading).

And when it happens, it freezes right away, so the browser gets stuck with "Search | Copy" bar on the highlighted text (My Flow is disabled on my browser). The buttons, as with the rest of the browser become completely unresponsive until I perform an Alt-Tab.

@LynXProdigy One day I'm able to view the stories, and the next day they are unavailable again, for weeks. Is this supposed to be a badly-executed A/B test?

@burnout426 Hey. After all this time this issue persisted across Opera and Opera GX, and I think I finally found out what is causing it. When I select more than one language from the spellcheck options (I always enabled Turkish, English and German simultaneously since I write on all three languages and spellcheck helps to prevent typos), I eventually get these freezes upon highlighting stuff. It doesn't cause freezing every time, but it happens often enough that it becomes an issue. Can you maybe try reproducing the error this way? Thank you.

Hello. Opera GX is my main browser since its inception and it's close to perfection when it comes to what I want from a web browser. Lately, however. Opera crashes frequently, killing all my open tabs, in-progress posts, everything, irretrievably. This persisted for more than 2 weeks, and I'm version 68.0.3618.206.

I wanted to upload the crash reports here, thinking Opera automatically saves them somewhere, but I was wrong.

To be sure that I haven't corrupted the browser somehow, I deleted it and also all the files relating to Opera from my drive and then reinstalled it, but the problem persisted.

I need urgent help on this, I'm basically forced to switch to another browser and I don't want to do that.

@burnout426 Well, for after what was the longest time the freeze happened even though I was only using 1 spellcheck, which debunks my theory. And now I'm back to thinking this happens because I have Search Pop-Up feature enabled and it makes more sense because that feature also gets activated on highlighting texts, so I have to think the cause is the search pop-up feature or a combination of that feature with something else.

This problem keeps disrupting my browsing experience as I lose track of the videos, posts, everything. I have never had such a grave error on any browser I've ever used roam rampantly without even an acknowledgment. I'm anxiously waiting for an update, which suspiciously is not here and it's the longest time since Opera GX received an update. Meanwhile, the main branch opera moved on to version 70 (soon to hit 71 while version 72 is in alpha stage) while GX is left at 68, so I'm putting all my eggs in hoping that GX version 70 arrives very soon and includes a fix for this issue so my browser stops crashing every 5 minutes.

I have been using opera since version 60, and I find the search pop-up feature quite useful, since it allows me to search words or phrases, copy, and even make currency and time conversions with one click. However after version 62 when I highlight a text on a page (especially if I highlight in a quick succession), Opera freezes and I can only unfreeze the browser if I do an Alt-Tab and come back.

I couldn't find anything about this with a Google search, so I wanted to post here to see if maybe anyone else is having this problem and if there is a workaround other than disabling the Search Pop-Up feature. The fact that these freezings are gone on disabling this feature leads me to believe that it has something to do with a bug within this feature (I'm also using Grammarly addon that provides definitions when I double click a word, but I tried removing it and the freeze on highlighting persisted).

Even after today's 71.0.3770.323 update, this fullscreen colour problem still persists for me. Anyone else having this issue?

For reference:

This is the color I thought I'm okay with seeing before each and every page loads.

Hello. Since GX was updated to v71, it started to pick up the accent color of my desktop wallpaper and show it until the webpage loads instead of showing a normal, black GX background. This only happens when I enable the "Show wallpaper" option in start screen settings and select my desktop as the source. Since this accent color takes up the whole page while loading the website, it becomes cumbersome to see it each time before a page is loaded. Seeing that this isn't fixed after many updates to v71, I had to resort to finding a desktop wallpaper that has a softer accent color so GX picked that. Does this count as a bug and will it be fixed?

@leocg This happened just once now. What sucks is that sync also deleted the history on my phone. I really depend on that history on my phone since I hate typing out complete addresses with a virtual keyboard or having to Google for website addresses. I don't know what would I do had I not already saved the copies of my history files.

@sgunhouse So the answer to my question is that Opera will delete much of the history by itself to reduce the size of its history files? I have been using GX since its inception (for more than a year) and I always try to make copies of my history files before formatting my PC, but this happened for the first time. So maybe I'm not aware of this feature. I thought this must have been a bug.

@sgunhouse How come my saved history files included at least months of browsing data? I mean what are you trying to say with "three days is fairly typical"? Everybody knows Opera can save much more than 3 days' of history. Coming from a moderator, I'm really surprised by this answer.

Hello. Since I have a great liking for the Opera GX on desktop, I am deeply integrated within the Opera ecosystem now and I also use Opera mobile on my Android phone with sync. Yesterday I realised that my mobile app didn't show the results it used to show with the 1-2 letters I entered. I didn't think anything of it until I saw that my desktop browsing history was gone, save for the last 3 days, and it also deleted the history on my mobile device.

Luckily, since I format my PC from time to time, I already had the recent copies of the 3 history files (History, History Provider Cache, and History-journal) that Opera uses within the AppData/Roaming/Opera folder, so I just restored my copies, and the history on my phone was also restored. I just wanted to point out that this happens and it would probably suck for people who have been using Opera for years and are intent on keeping their browsing histories.

@leocg It worked. Thanks a lot! I wish the Opera team would be more transparent about features like this, i.e. telling us that they disabled the flag by default but we can always change it back.

But hey, I'm really grateful we're getting innovative and experimental new features like this from Opera. The new player function on the V73 also looks really neat, looking forward to it!

Hello. It's great to see that GX is flourishing once again with constant updates. However, there was a new feature that went unmentioned in the changelogs but was actually useful. I didn't save any screenshots of it, but it basically worked like this:

Whenever I clip an image with the Windows 10 Snipping tool, for example, when I open the built-in WhatsApp and try to attach a photo to a chat, a black GX box would pop-up immediately and show me a thumbnail of the last image I clipped with the snipping tool, allowing me to paste it immediately without having to deal with the file browser. There was of course another button present to switch back to the file explorer, so this feature was there mostly to save time.

Another application of this feature was with files downloaded with the Opera GX. So, again, when I go to the built-in WhatsApp and try to attach a document, this black box would pop up, suggesting me the last file I downloaded with the browser so I can easily attach it to my message with just one click, without having to deal with possibly multiple file explorer windows.

I really liked this feature and I would love for it to return and get refined. If anyone is curious about it, I believe you can download the 71.0.3770.138 version from get.geo.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera_gx/ and give it a go.

Thank you.

@RealIwaaan Oh my god, I was starting to think I somehow messed up my browser since it asks me to log in each time to many sites it never asked since I had already checked the "remember me" box. Such a relief to see this post! But it's weird to see that it was Opera GX-independent for you. I wonder where should we be looking for the culprit?

P.S. my issues started soon after formatting my PC to fix some other issues, so I don't think a format would fix this for you.
