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.

NetSurf on Virtual Acorn
by Alan & Sally
Hi All,
I have Virtual Acorn on my Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8. The RISC OS in VA is 4.39.
Netsurf 2.9 runs nicely on this set up but I have had no luck with any of the later
development versions. I have just downloaded 3.0 Dev #833 with the same result.
The problem is that all the recent versions don't connect to the internet. The
message I get is "Resolving timed out after 30000 milliseconds." The settings are
the same ones that 2.9 is using, so I am at a loss with what to do. Has any one got
a fix for this?
The development versions all run well on my Risc PC under OS 3.5. So the
problem seems to be specific to VA and the development versions on the Mac.
Regards, Alan

New textareas and text inputs
by Michael Drake
Hello,
Many of you have reported crashes and other problems with editing the
textareas and text inputs used for forms.
This functionality has been rewritten. Please test the latest build:
http://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/
What's changed?
---------------
The INPUT element type TEXT (as used for a search box)
The INPUT element type PASSWORD (as used for login)
The TEXTAREA element (as used for composing forum posts or e-mails)
What do you want me to do?
--------------------------
Please test it and check it works. Is its behaviour as you'd expect?
What's its current status?
--------------------------
Old functionality currently missing:
- Doesn't support shift+left/right to move caret word-by-word.
- Doesn't support selection adjustment (altering an existing
selection.)
Quirks:
- When you select text in a textarea, any text selections elsewhere
in the window don't get cleared.
- When you scroll a textarea, the caret can move outside the textarea.
New features:
- The textarea is auto scrolled as you drag a selection.
Cheers,
Michael

BBC News websites
by David H Wild
I see that we now have normal access to the BBC news websites. Whether this
is something done by the Netsurf team or someone at the BBC taking note of
complaints I am pleased to see it happen.

I am still having the same problem with bleeding edge development
versions, though 2.9 works well.
Does anyone have a resolution of this problem, or are there any
prospects of a resolution?

Failure to post bug report.
by Peter Young
I've been trying to post this to the bug tracker:
[quote]
NetSurf #942 and ARMini, RISC OS 5.19 (16 May 2012).
Trying to access http://www.document-records.com/ fails. It gets stuck
on "Fetching, Fetching, Processing"; no timeout after two minutes,
after which I got bored. This is with JavaScript either on or off. It
works on Windows Firefox
[unquote]
with a zipped logfile 10K in size. I get the dreaded "XSRF Attempt
detected" message. Please, what am I doing wrong?
With best wishes,
Peter.

Failure to follow on-page links
by Richard Porter
On this page and similar ones on the site
http://www.rdtev.de/aktuelles.html
the navigation links on the left work fine but the on-page links in
the lower right hand pane (which scrolls) do not work. The layout is
defined in the css file. There is no javascript. If you click on a
local link NS does a bit of processing but leaves the page unchanged.
There are name tags with both name and ID specified.
I suspect that NS can't cope with local links in a scrolling pane with
absolute positionning in CSS.

rendering of Wikipedia page
by Jim Nagel
I've wondered for a long time what it is about Wikipedia's layout
(or something) that makes its pages so slow to render in Netsurf,
compared to the time to render the same page in Firefox or Chrome.
(Netsurf #891 here at the moment, but the wondering goes back a lot
further; running on RiscPC or Iyonix. Firefox or Chrome on XP.)
This isn't a criticism, just a curious Q about technicalities
involved.
