Description
Win7 x64 Opera 12.02 (latest)
Bug: Stops executing jQuery. Applies for jQuery 1.8.0 and above. Does NOT apply for 1.7.1 and probably below.
I've made a crash demo page, pls. visit using Opera 12.02. This is how it is intended to be - scroll down the page and watch the Menu buttons on the left move. Uses 1.7.1: http://www.hamburger-webseiten.de/
This demo page shows an error when debugging with Opera Dragonfly. As a result the menu will not move at all or, if using the .min jquery, the menu will pop from left to right endlessly causing 100% CPU: http://www.hamburger-webseiten.de/test/opera-crash-demo/
The error occurs on jQuery line 5152.
If it's an Opera bug that the try isn't catched, pls let me know so I can report a bug to Opera. Thanks.

You can't quick-terminate a script tag using <script />, why did you do that for the broken case and not for the working one?
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

I'm sorry, I just found this does also apply for Firefox (15.0.1 / latest) Uuuh, and also for latest Chrome (21.0.1180.89 m) Yes, and also IE (9.0.8112.16421)
--> probably for any browser.
The menu on the original page using jQuery 1.7.1 works fine, the same page/same code just using 1.8.2 does not work...
