[Netsurf-develop] Global history funny
by Geoffrey Baxendale
Hi,
I don't remeber anyone else mentioning this so it may be a problem with
my system, but for quite a while now when I open "Global History" from
the icon bar or with ctrl/F7 the "today" title and icon overlap
"Yesterday" and clicking on the overlapped icon (or the +, which is in
the right place) doesn't work. Clicking on "yesterday" and everything
else does work.
Please can someone else try this and see if it is a bug or just me. :-)

[Netsurf-develop] Fragment links
by Richard Torrens (RiscOS)
Curiosity: why does Netsurf point to the full URL of a fragment link in
the same page?
I find this a little inconvenient as it results in the whole page being
re-loaded, with resulting time-delay.

[Netsurf-develop] SSL certificates
by John Williams
With my IPCop internet server/firewall, the latest version (today's) no
longer responds to the 'Accept' certificate button on the https control
page, but just sits there doing nothing after redrawing the dialogue.
I shall grapple, with the bug tracker thingy later when I have time, if
required, but thought I should alert people ASAP.
A good reason (another thread here - 'Download name') for keeping some
earlier versions to hand!

[Netsurf-develop] Choices->Themes
by Gavin Wraith
I suspect that this must be an old chestnut, but I have not
found any information about it yet.
Using Test Build 26 Feb 2007 00:45 on RO 5.13.
When I open the Choices->Themes window for the first time I get
a message about an illegal window handle. Subsequent opening
of the window works with no error message.

[Netsurf-develop] Guardian Unlimited website
by Chris Wraight
The contents tables (blue areas on the left and right) on the Guardian
website don't display in NetSurf as they do in other browsers. There's
extra space inserted between each item in the list of articles and
sections on the main page. URL is www.guardian.co.uk . The following
is a very truncated excerpt from the HTML which, if loaded into
NetSurf, illustrates the extra space issue:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="128">
<tr>
<td height="18" bgcolor="#CFDFEF">
<font face="Geneva,Arial,sans-serif" size="2">
<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/0,,362449,00.html"><b>UK
latest</b></a><br>
<img src="38c2bea4" height="1" width="120" alt=""><br>
<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/0,,362455,00.html"><b>W
orld latest</b></a><br>
<img src="38c2bea4" height="1" width="120" alt=""><br>
<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/guardian/todays_stories/0,,1349931,
00.html"><b>All Guardian headlines</b></a><br>
<img src="38c2bea4" height="1" width="120" alt=""><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The section headings are placed in a giant table cell, and line breaks
are used to list them vertically. Each section heading is interleaved
with a GIF spacer graphic. From looking at the code, it seems that the
<BR> after the spacer is causing NetSurf to add more space than the
website designers intended. The result is a table which is too tall
and has too much padding between text elements.
A very minor issue, as the page renders perfectly readably. But
submitted in case it's of interest or use.

Well, it's interesting to note you don't really feel a difference.
https://servicecentre.easyspace.com/ was causing some people problems,
could you try that?

Ooh! Yes! I have always done that ever since such an option was
available on any browser - so natural to me that I had forgotten. Thanks
for putting me right!

[Netsurf-develop] Fix to fetch-handle cache
by Daniel Silverstone
Hi,
The 12:00 (midday) build today (2007-02-22) carries a fix to the
fetch-handle cache to cause it to reuse handles properly.
I would appreciate it if someone could please give me a qualitative (or
if possible, quantitative) feel for how this affects performance on RO
(I only have the GTK build)
Also, if someone who is vaguely aware of how things work could have a
play with the fetcher tunables and tell me how they affect interactivity
and performance on RO with SSL and non-SSL workloads I'd appreciate it.
Unfortunately on a powerful Linux box, it's hard to tell the difference.

Curiously, with the same build here, it does not crash on the News tab.
