[Netsurf-develop] Hotlist dragging
by Gavin Wraith
Not only should Netsurf's Hotlist permit dragging URLs
out into other applications, it should also improve
dragging within its own window. At the moment dragging
does not initiate scrolling of the window when the dragged
object nears the top or bottom of the window. This makes it
impossible to use with largish hotlists. Actually, the whole
design of the hotlist editing is unsatisfactory, in my opinion.
First, it is like eating rice with a pin, and difficult to
effect the placing of objects where you want them to go.
Second it does not follow the far superior RISC OS desktop
paradigm. Simply using a directory for the hotlist, with the
leaf objects as URI files would be both easier to implement
and easier to use. The present system looks like some Windows
lash up. The whole beauty of RISC OS is its consistent
graphical metaphor for filing systems. If a hotlist is not a
filing system, what is? Let us use what we have instead of
reinventing the wheel.

[Netsurf-develop] Unicode font library
by Tony Mackley
Clicking on the !NetSurf icon does not produce a icon on the iconbar,
but gives the message:
The Unicode font library could not be
initialized.
Please report this to the developers.
How do I overcome this?
Regards,
Tony Mackley.

[Netsurf-develop] Netsurf 3 April - buttons!
by Keith Hopper
Hi,
Now that I have the latest version which handles xhtml fine - so far
as I can see at the moment, I thought to look at the current todo list and
note that for forms it appears that the input element work is completed -
but
type=button
does not appear to work! Is this a known problem?

[Netsurf-develop] text bleed
by keith dunlop
I am having a display problem with Netsurf.
I get text bleeding around where it should be.
I have made a screnn grab at http://www.rohc.org.uk/text_bleed.PNG
As you can see the text is spilling out everywhere.
Is this a website issue or a browser issue?
cheers,

[Netsurf-develop] Error "Could not resolve host" for all hosts
by David Joy
Hi,
Netsurf doesn't seem to be able to resolve any hosts on my system. When I
try and load any page online it thinks for about a minute before giving
up with an error. The problem has been present in all versions of Netsurf
I have tried, including the 28 March test build.
The error (in the browser window):
Sorry, Netsurf was unable to display this page
Could not resolve host: www.google.co.uk (Domain name not found)
The system is a StrongARM RiscPC running Risc OS 3.70, with a Unipod
100baseT network card on a home network accessing the internet through a
NAT router. !Internet says it is version 5.00. The primary name server in
the !Boot network configuration is set to the router, which runs a DNS
cache (192.168.0.1), but I have also tested with the !Boot network
configuation set to use my ISP's name server directly (212.159.13.49).
Resolution works correctly for all other applications (including Oregano
2). E.g.:
*ping -c1 www.google.co.uk
PING www.l.google.com (216.239.59.147): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 216.239.59.147: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=70 ms
As a workaround I have set up a squid proxy on a separate Linux host and
set the network proxy in Choices to its numeric IP address (using a
hostname doesn't work). The browser can then access any page correctly.
Is there any further information you might need?
Thanks for your help, and thanks for a great browser.
Regards,
David
