Manually clicking, then right-clicking and choosing Frame->Reload should  
make the application work. This would have to be done every time the  
application is loaded.

We hope to make some UI to make this easier, and possibly settings to make  
it automatic in upcoming versions.

Using an older version of Opera will work meanwhile, though that is not a  
recommended solution.

If the parent document resides on the intranet, it can access both  
internet and intranet resources, unlike when it sits on the internet.  
Moving the parent document might be a solution.

Using a proxy will delegate the responsibility of knowing the difference  
between internal and external hosts to the proxy, meaning Opera's security  
feature will be disabled. We are not aware of any proxies that protect the  
users the same way Opera does, so there should not be any blocking.
