Google patent search not displaying (stylesheet solution ?)

Google Patents has always worked fine in 11.60.

Now in the last 2 weeks or so, no results are displayed, eg:

https://www.google.com/search?tbm=pts&hl=en&source=hp&q=solar+tracker&gbv=2&oq=solar+tracker

Chrome works fine.

I'm rather hoping there is some workaround with a stylesheet.
Any ideas welcome.

Its a problem with Opera useragent and browser detection.

Unfortunately Google does not support out-of-date Opera 12 any more with most Google tools.

temporary* solution:

1. Open opera:config#UserPrefs|CustomUser-Agent
2. Add Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2236.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/28.0.1719.0 (Edition developer)Custom User-Agent as useragent
3. Confirm with Save button
4. Visit page

• you should reverse the setting to custom entry by going to step 1 and hit Standard button and confirm Save

Ooops, bad posting!

I meant: Add

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2236.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/28.0.1719.0 (Edition developer)

as useragent

It is sufficient to use Edit Site Preferences and go to the Network tab and Mask as IE.
