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.

Remember this password
by Gavin Wraith
Using Firefox on a Windows XP machine I sometimes encounter
websites where, when you have to provide a username and password,
these are automatically filled in for you. I do not know
whether this feature is provided just by the browser or by the
browser's interaction with a helper application in Windows.
Does NetSurf for RISC OS supply any hooks, wimp messages or
whatever, whereby such a feature could be provided using a
helper application? If not, then maybe some approximation could
be kludged using function keys.

Recent versions of Netsurf (currently on #1229) crash whenever I click
on a link on Darren Salt's BBC News Ticker (0.85).

Colours
by Gerald Dodson
Following the recent changes and my deletion of ..Choices the colours have
obviously changed - in the Hotlist in particular. I have looked at the
User document but not found any way of changing the colours. How can this
be done?

Choices change, or avoiding the all black
by Vincent Sanders
As this seems to be a stumbling block for so many and I can see
complaints from users upgrading stretching into my future.
The choices validation will (from CI build #1223), when the system
colour options are all configured to black, simply reset them back to
defaults.
This does mean that in future noone will be able to set all system
colours to black intentionaly, but as that seems a daft thing to do
anyway...

Hotlist display illegible
by Dave Higton
The hotlist display was OK up to CI1201. CI1212 and CI1219 display
the hotlist as black on black. RISC OS 5.18, Iyonix, 512 MiB.
Reverted to CI1201 and it's OK again.
I'll put in a bug report.

Website not rendering correctly
by Chris Newman
Hi,
The site for the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum at Singleton, West sussex
looks OK in Firefox on the PC but just displays a grey window in Netsurf.
With JS off, it starts to display a background image but soon gives up.
Probably has too much Javascript for NS to handle.
Just thought I'd mention it.

Options/Choices refactor
by Vincent Sanders
I have finally completed and merged my refactor of the NetSurf user
option code.
This means that user options files will now only contain the options
which differ from the defaults. This will alow us to alter the
defaults in future and have everyones choices actually update instead
of being overidden by old saved default values that might not be useful.
There may be a small but annoying side effect to this chnage in that
many people will have bad default settings saved in their Choices
files already which will now be faithfully applied even if they are
unwanted.
The principle place this will be observed is with system
colours. These are the colours exposed as specifically named css
properties [1] and can be seen on test pages [2]
NetSurf also uses these colour settings throughout the UI for several
platforms. Each platform sets its own defaults and the users
configuration is available to override these settings.
Up to this point the system colour configuration and setup has been
somewhat flawed and will probably have resulted in most users saved
Choices containing a set of overrides setting all these colours to
black! (0)
If you experience such behaviour with CI builds after #1212 please
edit your Choices file to remove all the entries beginning with
"sys_colour_" they should not reappear subsequently (unless you would
like black controls, labelled in black on a black background, with a
little black light that lights up black to let you know you have done
it.)
