Opera hangs on the last element

Opera hangs on the last element

Has anyone else seen this issue? Sometimes, Opera hangs at 35 of 36 elements or something like that. Usually happens on Wordpress, but I have seen it happening on several different sites. The page will usually scroll, but sometimes the links do not work until it is finished. I am running the latest snapshot and have it set to redraw after 2 seconds.

Not only does Sunbelt do it, Avira does it. Must be an Opera bug.

Still happens here. I have it hang at random times and web pages for up to 1 minute. Bad thing is while hung there is no escape from it except the 3 finger salute and reboot. This is not new to Opera and has been there sine the onset of 9 at least. Forces me to close opera and use IE or Chrome to view the page I need at the time. The next time it will bust right in OK

Since I updated to version 10, I have had NO hanging at all. Not even once. Thank you Opera. Running XP SP3.

Happen again last night. Hung on a news site for up to a minute, the Opera 10 crashed. Yes I sent the crash report and this time added my disgust with Opera ignoring this problem. When I first had this problem starting back with 9, people responded as if I was the only one. Now I wonder how many have just decide it isn't worth it and just moved to a browser that works. Sure it shows 2.8 million downloads, but if Opera don't start taking this problem serious many will become Chrome and Safari user and never return. Please Opera "Pimp my Ride"

In case you didn't notice, this thread is not about crashes.

And why are you concluding that Opera is ignoring anything when they added several fixes to this before 10.0 was released?

Also, ranting in a crash report isn't going to help. You are just going to get yourself ignored.

2.8 million? Opera 10 was downloaded 10 million times in the first week.

You need to stop pretending to speak on behalf of Opera.

Is this bug reported? We're not talking about crashes but an actual inability for Opera to completely load the page without switching off virus scanners & firewalls!

No where in my post did I pretend to speak for Opera, so you are just blowing smoke. The crash report I mentioned was sent after a 1 minute hang on last elements then crashed while waiting. You may be right about your count as I was seeing the 2.9 million members of the community listed
Now in my opinion you can go snack on your troll biscuit, beings you wasn't able to give aid

Hello,
I am on Ubuntu Hardy. Today I tried to upgrade Opera from version 9.64 to version 10.
I immediately had this problem with Opera 10 hanging on sites that were loading perfectly yesterday with Opera 9.64.
It drove me mad!
Guess what?.... I went back to version 9.64!
But Opera 10 seems great though.... I hope this is sorted out soon!
Best regards.

Yes, this bug was introduced in the first O10 beta. You have to go back to 9.64 or uninstall your firewall et al.

Another update. This only seems to happen (in 1810) if you have a load of tabs open. Try with only 1 or 2 open.

Fix for some people:
Install the QT3 version!

I stumbled about this in the developer blog. There seems to be an issue with the latest QT4 library (4.5.3). After I installed Opera with QT3 GUI it worked flawlessly again. The other solution would be to downgrade that package to version 4.5.2 or try an even later service release of QT4 like version 4.5.3-r1. (<- I'll try this next)

I don't know if any of this can be done on Windows. It would definitly be a bit messy finding the right DLL and replacing it with another version

Have fun!

could you provide a link to the mentioned blog posting please?

I was referring to http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2009/10/29/post-seminar-unite-build and another one (4 or 5 posts older).

But I have to correct my comment now. We seem to be talking about two different bugs here.
With QT3 this forum and a other pages are loaded correctly again. Previously the just stopped somewhere and the mousewheel started to act jerky. And this happened on 75% of all sites!
I didn't realize though that another problem still exists and that is the one this thread is all about *g*. It is this specific 'last element' bug that occurs only on a few websites. May I add 'greenpeace.de' to the list?

Darn. Just updated to 10.10 beta 1833 and the hanging is back I was so enjoying the hang-free surfing with the 10 Final release!

It started happening on the Fox News site. Anybody else having problems with 1833?

I don't have any problems with 1857 (the latest 10.10 build at this moment).

I sometimes have it as well, esp. as these forums here, and most of the time (when I notice) it looks like google-analytics is the culprit.
(b1857 on XP XP3)

http://my.opera.com/sitepatching/blog/2010/02/01/browser-js-for-10-5-the-giant-cleanup-2

UserJS patch removed - asahi.com never stops loading - one of Japan's most important news papers was inserting scripts both from timeouts and with document.write() and the mix confused Opera into a never-stops-loading state. We've had similar issues elsewhere - digg.com among other high-profile sites, so this core fix is much appreciated.

Removed DSK-246430 - digg.com NSL/no content - another of these "never stops loading due to peculiar script self-mutations" bugs

Finally! Can anyone test in latest build?

Update: changes are not yet public. Wait for couple days.

this problem also exist in 10.10 stable release. i encouter that when loading www.hotmail.com

This problem occurrs in every version of Opera 10 for me. If i disable my HOSTS file it works fine. I refuse to stop blocking ad and other content when any other browser in cluding earlier versions of Opera, work just fine with it. I really wish they'd get on this. Instead of spending time adding features, make sure that it actually works first.

Does Opera 10.5 Beta work better for you?

I have not tried any betas. I don't have time to test them and report probolems. I'm only interested in working final versions.

Here it seems to work with 10.5 beta. I haven't had any hangs the past few days.

10.5 is faster, but still getting the slow, last element to load delay. It's great work from Opera, and I am sure that they have been working like mad on this and other issues. I've never known anything to be ignored, as was suggested above.

Now generally using 10.5 3248, XP Pro, SP3

I just downloaded and tried 10.50 Beta 3248. It's still hanging on elements. Same as in other versions. As in the other versions the status display always shows: "Completed request to..." while it is hanging and Homer is not showing that any access to any URL has been blocked.

*Sigh* - There are things that I like about this version too.

The most annoying bug in Opera. The 10.5 still hanging on elements. .

Still happening for me in Opera 10.51 final.

Confirmed. Please send a bug report.
Add "NSL" to the title of report.

Can't confirm. The site loaded fine - without any "hanging" - here.

Loaded fine for me too.

This "hang on the last element" bug hasn't appeared in Opera for months...
I can't confirm either...

NSL issue with http://www.oddee.com appears only if I set Progress Bar to Pop-up at bottom. I tested this on Mac and Win XP at work, behind a proxy. I got very consistent results.

But at home it happens only occasionally...

Had problems with http://www.oddee.com/item_97012.aspx hanging on last element, and a crash- report submitted.

Thanks for your insights FataL!
Reported as bug DSK-289997.

This is a common bug, not site specific. I experienced on the Desktop Team (static.myopera.com) a few days ago.

Anyway the block-external.js will help somewhat, because this problem tipically very common on sites with many image from external servers (for example many webstat and advertising service).

Seems first build of 10.52 (3333) fixed the issue with proxy
Tested on http://www.oddee.com

Didn't try it myself but the changelog says:

Fixed CORE-28533 (EnableOnDemandPlugin causes NSL (Never Stops Loading))

I hope that was it.

Just opened 10 tabs and 3 didn't fully load (10.52); often happens in 10.10 also. This site is often one of them!

Any explanation for this problem? I use Opera 10.51 Build 3315 on Windows XP and in my status bar a lot of the webpages are stuck displaying 'Completed request to <server name>' while still displaying the loading bar as if the page has not finished loading.

This is one of the problems I mentioned in my topic. Since the pages don't ever fully load, that often prevents access to embedded videos, hyperlinks, mouse wheel navigation, and page down/up functionality. You can click on the Stop button in the tab's window to stop the page load, but that may not be enough to make it possible to use some of the functionality listed on the web page:



Often times I have to reload the page several times before I can actually access links and videos on it. It is very annoying. I have this problem on many sites, but this seems to happen more often than not on many of the Huffington Post pages...

Okay, here's another example where Opera keeps hanging:

No problems here, the page loaded fine.

Do you have the progress bar setup to pop-up at the bottom?

The page loaded wonderfully quick. No problem whatsoever...
I have the feeling that "filtering certain advertisements domains" (via AD Block) has to do with it... Give it a try...

EDIT: Just in case, status bar has always been placed at bottom in my Opera's...

Yes.

You're right friguron!
When I deactivate content blocking the site load fine.
In case anyone wanna take a look.
This is my short urlfilter.ini: http://paste2.org/p/747825

It's happened to me a lot on this forum, where there are no advertisements.

Mmmm, the thing is that I meant the other way back !! As normally, crappy js files (oriented to ad tracking and website statistics (nedstat, google analytics, and such)) are the ones interfering... Whenever you cut them from loading, then everything gets smooth and sleek...
If you say that "deactivating urlfilter.ini engine", everything works better, then maybe we're tracing some other "more internal" bug, and then we're enjoying some kind of secondary symptom (never ending load, I mean).

For me, on that example page of yours, if I try to see which alive filters are ON, I do "right button", "content blocker", I press the "details button" on the upper right part of the screen, and I get this utter crap:

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/*
http://*google-analytics*/*
http://*doubleclick*/*

See which filters are alive when you detect the "never ending load" bug...

Are you "sugar" ? Performing the same actions I described on my previous post, but now here, on my.opera forums, we'll want to see which kind of interfering crap might be active, and boy, look what we have here, it's something MUCH WORSE than advertisements:

http://*google-analytics*/*

That's weird... now the site also loads perfectly with activated content filter.
The following filter is alive:
