Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-1267828-20190321151424

Hello, recently I have begun dealing with a bug on my end with wikia.

To start, I use Opera 58.0.3135.114 for my web browsing, and this only started after I reinstalled following a removal to have the system repaired.

Typically, like anyone, when I click an image, a window pops up that displays the image, the image name, a series of other images below it, and a few options, but this window is frequently freezing, making it impossible to use. I have to refresh the page just to be able to continue using the tab. My browser doesn't freeze, rather the tab window softlocks because it can't properly bring up the image viewer.

I did the following:


 * Testing this on Microsoft Edge, and it works there without any issues


 * Disabled my extensions that could interfere with the image loader


 * Removed the extensions entirely


 * Updated my Flash Player in case that was the problem


 * Closed and reopened Opera


 * Upgraded Opera


 * Did a recovery with Opera


 * Emptied my whole cache with "Clear Browsing Data"


 * Performed a reinstall from the uninstaller


 * Restarted my whole computer


 * Fully uninstalled Opera and reinstalled after downloading the installer using Microsoft Edge, then tried this again with a fresh install and no extensions

Nothing seems to fix this. I cannot get this to stop happening, but what's weird is that it isn't consistent. On the home page of a wiki, the image loader loads, on a blog post the image loader loads, but not a single page on any wiki I visit cooperates, softlocking the tab and forces me to reload it. I've even tried bypassing the cache with the reload and I get the same issue.

I don't want to switch to another browser if I can help it, and I know this is browser specific, so I was hoping maybe someone with better technical knowledge than I could tell me why this is happening, if I can stop it, or if I should report it to staff via Special:Contact to inform them of a bug affecting only Opera.

P.S. To make sure I'm clear, this isn't related to one wiki. Every wiki does this with my browser.
