Nervous tick
by Richard Porter
When Netsurf is displaying the following page and others on the same
site the pointer starts flickering 2 or 3 times a second between a
pointing hand and an hour glass.
http://www.therailengineer.com/2012/04/26/bs11000-working-together-achiev...
This only happens when the top part of the page is displayed. If you
scroll down it stops; if you scroll back up so that most of the image
is shown it starts again. If you're working in another window over the
top it stops. If you bring NetSurf to the top it resumes. What's going
on?
Currently using r13534.

Hotlist on RISCOS
by Gerald Dodson
I often have trouble re-arranging the Hotlist. In particular grouping
items into a directory. At the moment I have a new directory into which I
have been trying to place a number of items not currently in a directory.

Bug tracker misbehaving.
by Peter Young
I've just wasted quite a bit of time trying and failing to report a
bug using RISC OS NetSurf #749; yes, I did remember to disable
JavaScript! The attempt to upload the report produced an obscure error
message in a NetSurf page, and I regret I forgot to record this. The
report has duly been sent via Windows Firefox.
A happy New Year to the developers, whose efforts are greatly
appreciated.
With best wishes,
Peter.

RISC OS Javascript support
by Vincent Sanders
Thanks to Rob Kendrik, Chris Gransden and myself we now have NSPR and
Spidermonkey libraries building in the NetSurf toolchain[1]. The CI
system[1] has built the toolchain successfully and a copy of NetSurf
for RISC OS with Javascript enabled[3].
I would be grateful if any interested users could test this build.
The javascript support is still *very* limited and the performance is
unlikely to be awe inspiring, please do not expect a great
experience. I still have a *lot* of interfaces remaining to implement
and we are a small development team lacking an active RISC OS
maintainer.
*** Please Note ***
All the usual caveats of using a CI build apply, additionally, this is
the first successful *experimental* build with these libraries. I have
been personally unable to test on RISC OS. It might fail in all sorts
of interesting (Chinese proverb style) ways and I cannot offer support
if it does.

Fetching NetSurf
by Frank de Bruijn
Last October, John Williams created Fetch_NS, a tool to check for and
fetch the latest development build of NetSurf for RISC OS. I added a
couple of features and put it on my website (with John's consent), but I
seem to have forgotten to announce it...
As the development builds of NetSurf now come in two versions - with or
without JavaScript support - I added functionality to choose between the
two (no fancy GUI or anything like that - just setting a variable in an
Obey script). Go to http://aconet.org/tools#fetchns to download.
Please do not respond to this message on this list!
===================================================
This is just an announcement for the benefit of NetSurf users who want
an easy way to check for, download and install the latest development
version. Discussions about Fetch_NS should be held elsewhere. Please use
comp.sys.acorn.apps or archive-online for that.
Regards,
Frank

Running #744 (json) on RO 6.20, I see the problem described by Dave.
NetSurf's config file contains enable_javascript:1 but, when loaded,
NetSurf Choices... > Content shows 'Disable JavaScript' ticked, and
http://javatester.org/javascript.html reports that 'JavaScript IS NOT
WORKING in your web browser'. After unticking 'Disable JavaScript', the
'not working' warning at http://javatester.org/javascript.html has gone
so, presumably, JavaScript is then working - not that this is apparent,
on other websites.
