Issue 2339 (case sensitivity has no effect)
by Dave Higton
I've come up with a solution that I think may be good enough. I'd
welcome a review and any suggestions for better ways.
The result of this change is that toggling case sensitivity has an
immediate effect, although it also resets the search to the start
of the list of targets. Since the list may well have changed, I
guess that's an OK consequence.
I also have some questions:
1) Are the first two additions necessary or desirable?
2) Do other platforms have the same problem?

Issue 2339 (case sensitivity has no effect)
by Dave Higton
I've just done some experiments which, I think, get us closer to
understanding the problem.
I've uploaded a new version of the test file "index.html" which now
puts the words onto separate lines, so that "Show all" shows better
the matching targets.
Search for "Ca", set "Show all" and toggle case sensitivity. The
highlights don't change. Make a change to the search target string,
though, and the matches are immediately updated.
I changed the code in ro_gui_search_click() so as to search for " "
immediately before searching for the real target. Now the highlights
are updated immediately the case sensitivity is toggled.
This suggests to me that the search term is being cached, and the
search command does nothing if the search term does not change. But
it /must/ search again if the flags are changed.
I can't see where the ultimate function is because it's called
"search(...)" which is too generic a name to search for.
I've updated Mantis with my findings.
Hth,
Dave

This seems odd Chris.
Instead of stopping consumption of arguments on the first non-configuration
argument, it instead ends up swallowing the entire commandline rendering the
rest of commandline processing worthless.
Could you either fix this so that you get your desired behaviour while not
breaking processing for the rest of us; or else revert the change?
Previously the expectation was:
nsexecutable [nsoption arguments] [frontend specific arguments] [url to launch with]
Now we have:
nsexecutable [nsoption arguments] [anything else is ignored blithely]
Thanks,
Daniel.

Suggestion for priority of work
by Dave Higton
One of the things that NetSurf users most miss, it seems to me, is to
be able to configure small appliances via their web pages that rely
heavily on Javascript. Examples are wifi clients and other network-
related stuff. We keep seeing threads on newsgroups and mailing
lists that always have to say "but you'll need Linux or Windows to
set it up".
How much work would be involved in supporting them, and is there other
work that has a higher priority?
As you see, it's a naive question.
Dave

Bug 2388
by Dave Higton
My fix for issue 2388 was rejected, apparently without looking at
what I submitted. I /did/ submit the text source files for the
templates.
Please have another look!

Bug tracker blocked
by Dave Lawton
Hi all,
I would like to try and contribute but ...
The site
http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/
is blocked at my workplace by Websense as being
in a Static category: Proxy Avoidance.
Is there anything that can be done to alleviate
this please ?
I do believe that Websense is a third-party product
which does regular updates.
TIA

Vincent's initial comment (note #0000768) stated that this issue only
affected the RISC OS front end, and indeed when I checked the GTK version the
options are phrased the other way round.
The issue of poor wording of dialogues, in particular double negatives, is
called out on page 66 of the Style Guide: "use the same sense for all options
within a dialogue".
Note, my patch didn't change any of the defaults, merely brought them into
line with the other front ends.
If you're choosing to not apply this to the RISC OS front end, then surely
the ticket should be reopened and applied to the non RISC OS front ends so
that they are phrased with double negatives; otherwise the logic for closing
this one is flawed,
Sprow.
