Opera Next 12.00 pre-alpha not loading page with javascript enabled

Hi,

Over the years I had several issues with pages not loading (load timer running indefinetly) in Opera when Javascript was enabled, Opera 12 seems to resolve these so far.

But today I met this new variant:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/nasa-satellite-debris-might-hit-us/2011/09/23/gIQA5VmiqK_story.html

For me, this page briefly loads, but then gets replaced by just a white page when JS is enabled, and it works fine when JS is off (F12 menu).

Could someone who has Next installed please verify this, to make sure its not just me? Thanks.
If you can't avoid typing rm -rf / when you don't mean it, don't use shell.

Some more info:

The white page kills off the context menu for me, and page -> developer tools -> source does nothing. In Dragonfly, I can see the page structure initially load, and then it gets replaced by:

<html>
<head/>
<body>
<div id="trc_related_container" class="trc_related_container"/>
</body>
</html>

And thats all there is sad

Known issue, not related to 12 in that regard (occurs in 11.51 also) ... I'd check with Ragnarok, I suspect the HTML5 parser would fix it.

Thanks a lot for the answer, much appreciated. I installed 11.50 labs, Build 24581 which includes the Ragnarok parser (sorry if thats outdated, didn't find any 11.51 or 12 with a quick Google search). Ragnarok didn't help, but since its a known issue thats fine, I have a workarround and I guess its going to be addressed.

There was a later build, but it doesn't work there either.

Edit: I deleted the stuff I posted here today and instead put a more concise write-up in http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1139052.

The original problem of pages not loading was related to an old version of a hosts file which blocks known ad servers (just in case anyone looks at this thread with the same problem).
