Is it actually hanging, or just taking a long time to close down?
I timed mine last night, memory usage was about 1.5GB (on a 2GB MacBook!) and it took well over a minute before the dock icon cleared, with the Activity Monitor showing "Opera not responding" for most of that time.
And a lot of disk activity...

As I have posted on the other thread:
I have the same problem with both 32 and 64 versions.
Killing the PluginWrapper/PluginWrapper64 (kill -9 in the terminal) lets Opera finish normally.
I have let plenty of time to let the PluginWrapper close, as the first time I noticed this, I was using the 32 bit kernel, used the menu option to shutdown and went to bed. In the next day the computer was still on and Opera still "not responding".

I mentioned this before. Quitting normally after running a Youtube video invoking the Shockwave/flash plug in is often not possible. Running a video in full screen mode can be problematic after a while even with my 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo & 6GB RAM. The Browser & machine slows down dreadfully. This never happened in 11.64 & not in Safari now. Rather than roll back to 11.64 as I was going to do I just use Safari to take advantage of the keychain that Opera no longer supports. I check to see if a new version of Opera is released from time to time with the hope that I will be pleasantly surprised and presented with the Opera old! A fast browser that uses resources efficiently, provides innovative features and in the case of OS/x supports the MAC keychain. Placing your passwords on Opera's or anyone else's server is not a good alternative to keychain support. Keychain allows multiple applications to share the passwords & they are not on someone else's server.
As an experiment, could you please disable these two options, save, restart Opera and then see if you can trigger then problem again? (Reenable them afterwards as they can cause other problems.)
Disabled both 'Extra Idle Connections' and 'Open Idle Connections On Close'.
Everything got much slower. Lots of the old "Waiting for (#xx) connection...". Still hanging when closing. The Opera process still gets to the 'stuck' state on top and then never recovers...

I have the same problem here too, on a macbook running OSX 10.6.8
I run Opera from terminal, and close the terminal window now after apple+Q which does the trick, but would be nice to not have to do this. I don't have this problem on my iMac OSX 10.7 though.

I thought Opera was deeply frozen but after I quitted and went making my breakfast and came back to the pc, it was off. Seems like it just takes 2-5 minutes to shutdown.
Although this does not change the main problem: Opera is freezing / does not shutdown within 5 seconds which makes me force quit it.

It's been about a week or so that I've noticed that I no longer have the hang-up issue, and when I quite Opera with apple+Q Opera quites as expected, not obliging me to force-quite (closing the terminal onglet) like in the past... Anyone else observe this ? This on my macbook running 10.6.8
I do (Flash 11.4.402.265).
After having been in operation for a while, Opera often refuses to quit. Watching a flash video may be a cause for this behavior (I run the latest Flash version), but today it happened after spending time on Opera's forums and without any Flash involvement. The issue has been happening regularly since I upgraded to Opera 12.
I notice that there has been frequent mention of this problem in discussion threads, but there appears to be no fix from Opera. I'll probably have to stop using Opera as my default browser until this problem gets solved (Opera 12.012, on Mac OS X 10.6.8).

I wish to add my voice as having exactly the same issue running Opera 12.01 under OS 10.6.8. SInce the 12 "upgrade" the browser has gone from being stable/fast to loading web pages glacially, perpetual sudden shutdowns, revolving beachballs & force quits 9/10 times.
Every stability upgrade, I expect, well, more stability. Not happening.
and, yes, I have upgraded to Flash 11.4.402.265
Also, how do switch to 32-bit mode as this appears to be stable?
