Pages automatically reloading

Pages automatically reloading

Seemingly randomly, certain websites will rapidly refresh on their own - originally I thought it was a userscript issue because it worked the first time by switching them off, but I recently got it again and this turning on/off userscripts did nothing. When these websites (eg. www.google.com.au did it to me once) refresh rapidly, I can't use search boxes or scroll around the page because I only get a third of a second before the page refreshes and all the text boxes are wiped, and the page position reset.

I checked to see if the "Reload every" option was selected in the context menu, but it is surely switched off - I don't know what to do, but I'm guessing it would be an absolute disaster trying to debug this because there appears to be no pattern (that I can see) as to when it happens.

Could it be a faulty keyboard? Perhaps the cat walked over your keyboard? Modify the shortcut for "reload" and see if it still occurs.

Nope, I checked the keyboard - besides, if that were the case then anything I write in the text boxes during the fraction of a second before it reloads would be all garbled from the false input.

It never happens while I'm on a particular page and it starts doing it on its own, it only does it when I load a page from the address bar or history. If I close that tab and access a different website there are usually no issues - it always only affects one website. If I close the tab and open the website I'm having troubles with in a different tab, I start having the same problem in that tab as well (until I go to a different address). If I completely close Opera and open a fresh instance, it usually fixes it, but sometimes it doesn't (so I have to just not use that page).

As I said, I've had this problem with google.com.au (and all the other google locations), and one or two others as well. I also notice that so far, the problem has only occurred on search engines - I'm yet to see it happen on a different type of website (I can't comprehend the significance of this, because most pages have a search engine embedded in the page somewhere, but I'm yet to have a problem with those).

Edit: I should've said this in the first place, but I'm using Opera 10.51 Build 3315. I started having these problems when I upgraded from 10.10 to 10.51 (I never had 10.50 because I never saw the update notification). I am using Windows Vista Business Edition 32-bit on a Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 and I have all Windows Updates installed.

I have these problem too, mainly in Google websites.

Doing a search in google, the result page will reload 7,8 times before stopping and let me browse.
Its really strange but this doesn't happen in any other machine I use or in Linux.

the problem exists in all Opera 10.5x series as I remember on Windows 7 with a Dell notebook.

if someone suggest me something to try, configure or report I will do it.

I had a similar issue with Yahoo browser mail classic. Someone suggested that I edit site preferences and disable automatic redirection, which worked for that particular issue. You might try that.
On an offending page rt-click and choose "Edit Site Preferences", then go to the "Network" tab and uncheck "Enable automatic redirection".
