Well for what it's worth I like the current behaviour. I was slightly
surprised at first but it seems quite appropriate now that I have
become used to it.
The name in the savebox is only a suggested leaf name; you could just
as easily save the file with a completely different name or add an
DOS-style extension if you really want one. Personally I find they
make directory displays look cluttered.
By all means make the behaviour configurable, but please don't get rid
of this feature.

Of course you mean wibble/xyz

[Netsurf-develop] Filename extensions
by Richard Porter
Why is NetSurf chopping off filename extensions for saved files?
I know we don't need them to distinguish file types but it's a useful
convention. In any case files may be used on web sites or sent on to
people with inferior operating systems. I can't see any way of turning
this feature off, and it's a nuisance. I'm not sure what happens to
unrecognised file types but I hope the filename extensions are kept.

Hardly surprising; almost every div on that page (and there are lots) is
positioned absolutely (position: absolute) which NetSurf does not
currently support. It also makes crazy (and completely unnecessary) use of
the z-index property; again, something that NetSurf does not support.

I presume you're talking about Oregano 3? Certainly neither O1 or O2 have
sufficient CSS support to cope with that site; O2 does almost exactly the
same thing as NetSurf, in fact.

It's a known bug related to scaling of images; the inlined image on
your page has dimensions 341 x 500, but is scaled in the source to
174 x 256 for display.
The 'active portion' of the page is still 341 x 500, however,
as can be seen by watching the URL in the status bar as you move
the mouse over the scaled image and the area below and/or to
the right.
The links which are not 'obscured' by the /unscaled/ image still
function as expected.

[Netsurf-develop] Strange form behaviour
by Richard Porter
I've just been updating the air ambulance web site (restricted admin
suite so I can't give the url) using NetSurf and have encountered an
oddity. The site uses ASPs to process form data which it stores on an
ADO database.
I received news items as usual on an email message which I saved as a
text file and made a few edits. I then copied and pasted sections of
text into text fields and textarea fields on the form via the
clipboard (RISC OS 4.39). So far so good, but when I viewed or edited
the items I found there were random characters on the ends of the
lines. This invariably affected the text fields but there were some
extra characters on textareas too.
I continued working with Oregano 1 and there was no further problem. I
conclude that there's a bug somewhere in the paste handling in NS.
Typing text in was OK.
