@gunraidan A bug.
Workaround? Linux

For reference a reason why this is a big deal is because I use the LG CX as a monitor. It is an OLED and if pixels are stagnate too long it leads to burn-in.

Linux is a capable OS but I need Windows for the programs I use. I also know that this was a tongue and cheek reply, but Vivaldi really shouldn't be having such issues with the most popular operating system in the world. At least for PCs.

Same issue here. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing it It's annoying as heck.

I have the same problem and it is quite annoying.

My solution for now is to use another browser when I want to do full screen, but it's not very convenient. I hope this bug will be fixed soon.

@DoctorG Thank you!

Hello everyone, long term Vivaldi user here - can't say I've ever had an issue with the browser until now, it is very distracting - I've witnessed this bug in both Youtube and Crunchyroll.

Here is a screenshot : -

I used crunchyroll since it has drm which gives me a nice black window to illustrate the border in display.

If there's anyway I can help in having this bug solved, please let me know. Hope to see this resolved soon, thank you

Apparently you need to switch to a normal browser.

ModEdit: Removed profanities.

From what I traced on the forum, the problem was known on the snapshot of the new version for a month. After one RC version, a "stable" version was released with a bunch of other problems and annoying bugs.

I don't understand why such a rush and why a version with so many problems was released

@ourostra The fullscreen border is a nasty cosmetic issue, but not a serious bug.

This is a common practice when a developer tries to attract users at the initial stages. And then he switches from fixing bugs to implementing surveillance and collecting personal information to make money, while almost forgetting what a browser is for.

Whut!? Vivaldi devs are not such gangsters. They do not sell information and spy users!

I hope i misunderstood your strange opinion, or your translation was not correct.

@DoctorG I know that this is not some critical bug, but you have to admit that the last version was released probably a little too early. Even the new Task Panel had a rather trivial problem that should have been caught at the testing stage (or RC version).

And yes I know, Vivaldi is a small team (which does a great job) and bugs just happen, but I think some of the bugs or other inconveniences could have been avoided in the stable version if more time had been spent on more snapshots and fixing the bugs reported by users at this stage

So what would be a solution for the moment? Roll back to 5.4? How easy / safe is that?

Not recommended as downgrade will break browser data and cause weird effects. We can not help with broken data after downgrade.

Fix for VB-61259 In Progress, a dev assigned

DoctorG

Should have been fixed since 5.5.2805.38:

[Windows][Media] There is a small transparent border with rounded corners when in full-screen video (VB-92219)

@DoctorG I've updated to the latest version and can confirm the border issue has been resolved.

Thank you
