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.

CSS height attribute
by Gavin Wraith
I found out how to get the effect I wanted both in NetSurf
and in Firefox by avoiding the "height" attribute. I put
everything inside a containing box and for the left- and
right-hand columns set the attributes "top" and "bottom" to 0.
Then their heights get sucked to that of the middle column.

height attribute in CSS
by Gavin Wraith
I have come across a difference between the way NetSurf 2.9 (on
an Iyonix) and Firefox 15 (on an XP notebook) treat the CSS
"height" attribute.
The way NetSurf does it gives the display I want, and I am trying
to figure out how to make Firefox do the same.
My webpages are to be in three columns, with the leftside and rightside
columns being narrow vertical graphics (that are links), with the content
in the middle column.
The relevant CSS contains the following:
#leftside, #rightside
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 70px;
height: 100%;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: 0% 0%;
text-decoration: none;
}
#leftside
{
left: 0;
background-image: url(images/background/lpage.png);
}
#rightside
{
right: 0;
background-image: url(images/background/rpage.png);
}
.content
{
position: relative;
width: auto;
left: 70px;
right: 70px;
padding-right: 100px;
}
The trouble is that Firefox seems to be interpreting "height: 100%;"
as 100% of the height of the graphics screen, so as soon as you
scroll Firefox's window it becomes apparent that the lefthand and
righthand columns are not extending to the bottom of the middle column.
Am I making an idiotic mistake somewhere and NetSurf is being more
forgiving than Firefox? Has anybody else encountered this?

Plaese help us to port NetSurf to Playstation 2
by Oleg Petrov
Hello NetSurf Development team.
I read info on your web-site about NetSurf and was very amazed that it can
work even on Atari computers. Also I read that it can be ported on older
platforms and that developers of NetSurf would be happy to contact such
people.
So I and my friends decided to port NetSurf to PlayStation 2.
We created thread on http://www.psx-scene.com
The address is here:
http://psx-scene.com/forums/f19/open-source-cross-platform-web-browser-ps...
Would be so nice to have NetSurf on PlayStation 2 as web-browser...
But we need help from your team, can you help us to port NetSurf to
PlayStation 2 ?
Can you also help us on ideas and other stuff how it properly done?
Could you get in contact with us? Please help us...

Unlikely to make any difference; that favicon is fetched due to the
web search provider functionality.
I was meaning to look at caching favicons within URLdb a while back -
I think there may be benefits to that (we can call up favicons for
treeviews for instance). They'd still need to be refreshed of course,
but I don't think the search provider needs to grab the absolute
latest favicon - the last time it was fetched would be fine.
That would solve this issue anyway. A disk cache would also solve it,
but I'm not sure if that would allow us to associate bookmarked or
history URLs with favicons?

Nope, that fetch is from fetching the favicon in the toolbar search box.
I don't think it's possible to avoid that. :(

Performance on Debian Linux
by Wendell P
Netsurf 2.9 Debian distribution on Debian Wheezy.
On my machine, Chrome and Firefox each take 3s to boot, while Netsurf
takes 6s. Is this typical or do you think there is something wrong?
Also, I sometimes get:
"Netsurf in running out of memory.
Please free some memory and try again."
How do you free some memory?

How to test and report instability?
by Wendell P
Netsurf 2.9 is very unstable on Debian Wheezy. If I stick to simple
text-only sites, I can usually browse to at least 5 sites before Netsurf
crashes, but going to Amazon crashes it immediately. I have been
watching the log, but all I can say is that Netsurf seems to be going
along fine until it reports "Segmentation fault".
What can I do to generate more useful debugging information?

Current version?
by John Williams
I have been stuck at r13571 for some time - which may well be the latest
version; we mustn't deny developers a break!
But now my cURL script for downloading the latest version seems to hang!
Any ideas, anyone?
