NS Crashing on closing window
by Richard Porter
It seems to be repeatable to get NetSurf to crash with a Segmentation
fault by requesting a page and then closing the window while it is
fetching the page.

bug? triggered by deleting cookie?
by Jim Nagel
I have been trying without success to log into the Control Panel for
one of my web domains using Netsurf #1276 on Iyonix 5.18.
Advice from Neil Spellings (who hosts the domain) is that it's a
"session" matter and to delete the cookie. I did that, and soon
Netsurf crashed. Relaunched Netsurf, noted the long cookie list is
now down to just two items, deleted one, repeated the process, and
Netsurf promptly crashed again.
Log is here (since I have no luck in using Netsurf to report a bugs
via Sourceforge): www.archivemag.co.uk/JN/TEMP/NSLog130724.txt (only
35K after fresh relaunch).
Trying to relaunch Netsurf fails with an error (can't quote it because
it failed to record itself in Syslog) but a second attempt succeeds.
Peculiar.
Why, by the way, does deleting the cookie require two attempts? This
is from menu over the Netsurf window, "Utilities > Cookies > Show
cookies...", select the required item, do menu "Selection > Delete".
Check the list of cookies again, the item is either back or still
there, so repeat the whole menu business.
Still haven't got to my Control Panel. Besides deleting the cookie,
is there something else I need to do to resolve the "session"
difficulty?

Paypal Order status/Actions
by Christopher Dewhurst
Hi all,
In My Account on Paypal in the Order status/Actions column there are
(for items sold): Print postage label, Add tracking info, Mark as
sent, Issue refund.
(This is with Netsurf and Javascript disabled. Dev Cl #1298. Having JS
on just gives a blank page.)
Now, the postage label option I wouldn't use but I *do* use the Mark
as sent option. Is this Javascript-specific, since there is a button
underneath called "Go"? If so just wondered how easy or hard is it to
implement ?
thanks,
Chris.

Slow download
by Peter Slegg
I just went to have a look at the Netsurf repository.
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/desktop/textarea.c
The download pauses for about 10-15 seconds between each update
of the number of kb downloaded, there is only about 438k but it
took a while.
Also Netsurf grabbed over 50MB of memory and when it rendered the
page it said it took 1133.4s
I tried the less complex Highwire browser and it took less than
3s for the whole thing.
I expect finding the cause(s) could be difficult.

Sourceforge
by Richard Porter
What's happened to Sourceforge? It's virtually unusable now. The help
page tells me to click on "Submit new" but it's nowhere to be found on
the bugs page.
