Opera 10.51 crashes with experimental Google Maps features

With Google Maps, if you click "New" at the top of the page and enable "Drag 'n' Zoom" and "What's Around Here?" you should find that Google Maps will now constantly lockup Opera.

You may need to be signed into Google to enable these features, and if you are, you'll need to use another browser to disable the feature so you can access Google Maps again. I'm not sure if it's both features together that cause the fault, or if its just one or the other.

Note: I will log a bug for this after getting comments from the community so I'm know I'm not logging something that Opera would already be well aware of.

Thanks.

I was wondering why Google Maps was locking Opera up. Solution: Turn off Google lab "Drag 'n' Zoom" and "What's Around Here?"

Errm, doesn't the EXPERIMENTAL bit on the Google site give it away...

No. I would expect an expermental feature to perhaps not work properly. I would not expect an experimental feature to have the ability to crash a browser.
