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. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:ricp@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

User feedback requested (esp. RISC OS)

by Michael Drake

Hi, We have done quite a bit of development since we last issued test builds and we have also changed our autobuilding infrastructure completely. With these changes we are now building NetSurf builds with far more up-to-date versions of 3rd party libraries, and it is now quite trivial to keep them up-to-date. It would help us if people could test the new builds and let us know how you get on. CAUTION: SAVE ALL WORK BEFORE RUNNING THESE BUILDS We have at least one case of NetSurf freezing a RISC OS Iyonix such that it needs to be reset. New builds are available from: http://ci.netsurf-browser.org/ (Use the latest one available) If you try one of the new builds, please let us know: + which front end (e.g. RISC OS, Amiga, etc) + which version of the OS + whether there was a problem > what was happening when it went wrong + what the download file name of the NetSurf version you tried was Cheers, -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

Crashes on GMail

by Ma Xiaojun

I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5, NetSurf 2.9. http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/macosx/ It seems to be running smooth on a bunch sites. I'd like to use GMail, I don't mind it is just mobile view only. However, all the following addresses gave me a crash: www.gmail.com mail.google.com g.illinois.edu The last one is the Google Web App portal of University of Illinois.

Re: User feedback requested (esp. RISC OS)

by Gavin Wraith

front end: RISC OS OS version: 5.18 problem: freeze while scrolling through http://www.independent.co.uk/ download file: netsurf-2012-09-28_19-54-37/zip Note that POPstar was not running - so no clash with other fetchers. So far freezes seem to happen after just the slightest scrolling down the page; sometimes after quite lengthy and varied browsing, sometimes, as in this case, on the first page opened (so doubtful if any gc can have taken place). This apparent randomness gives me the hunch that it has something to do with buffers being allocated where they should not be, but maybe such a comment is unhelpful without any evidence. Sometimes pressing the reset button works - sometimes I have to toggle the on/off switch at the back. -- Gavin Wraith (gavin(a)wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/

can't get to ROOL site

by Jim Nagel

On the Netsurf 2.9 home page, clicking on the link to ROOL produces a cryptic error: Warning from Netsurf "error setting certificate verify locations:" (Nothing after the colon) No idea what this means. The guys at ROOL say their SSL certificate is unchanged and valid until the end of 2013. Besides, this link is calling http, not https. (Using an Iyonix here, OS 5.18.) What could the explification be? However, I can go to a page further in at the ROOL site, which I found from a Google search -- http://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads/module-zipfiles -- and from the "tab" panel there to other pages at ROOL. Curiously, Netsurf 2.9 on the RiscPC (OS 4.39) has no problem. -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk See you at London? www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk October 27

Changes at QVC

by Dave Symes

Oh dear, Fay is not a happy person at the moment, apparently QVC have re-designed their front page, and as she uses NetSurf (r13571) to view the stuff, suddenly she can't see menus and such like that a couple of days ago she could. I have to assume it's something to do with more javascript, but way outside my paygrade so to speak. Could someone with knowledge please have a quick look at... http://www.qvcuk.com It's mainly the menus down the lefthand side. Thanks Dave -- Dave Triffid

Multiple call for Iconv

by mail＠JohnWoodhouse.plus.com

Having installed Reporter for another unrelated reason, I have noticed that on every occasion a Netsurf window is opened, Netsurf calls for the Iconv module. e.g. : 16:08:19.82 [Appl/NetSurf] RMEnsure Iconv 0.04 RMload System:Modules.Iconv 16:08:19.82 [Appl/NetSurf] RMEnsure Iconv 0.04 Error 16_10F iconv support requires the Iconv module 0.04 or newer I have a copy of Iconv : ==> Help on keyword Iconv Module is: Iconv 0.11 (04 Jan 2011) in System:Modules, so I don't understand why it is constantly being called for - and a lot of times. The above is repeated 32 times each time a new window is opened! John -- ____ /__ __________________________ /____Mail from mail(a)JohnWoodhouse.plus.com
