MousAxess
by Richard Torrens (lists)
Is anyone else here using MouseAxess with NetSurf?
I hav found Netsurf very inclined to crash. It feels like it's caused bey
switch bounce, usually from the menu button. But removing MouseAxess seems
to stop it.
I have not found any other programs which crash like this...

Google Images search not working
by John Rickman Iyonix
For the past several years I have used NetSurf for finding images on
the web via Google Images search.
Google puts up a page of images for the search term. Then a click on
an image used to bring up a web page with an option to see the impage
full size. This no longer seems to work with NetSurf.
The way that Google presents the image page has changed. It is still
usable with Chrome on Linux.
Can anyone confirm this change and better still suggest how I can
continue to use NetSurf for image searching?
John

Cursor doesn' follow typing
by palama＠inwind.it
Hi,
I am a newcomer to the list and have a problem with netsurf which I am unable
to solve.
I'm trying to use netsurf on a i386 Debian Jessie box.
If I start netsurf with the default homepage www.google.com and type a string
of 7 "a"s in the search field,
the cursor in the field moves slower than the right end of the string. After 7
"a" the cursor is between the 6th and the 6th "a" instead of being at the
right
of the 7th "a" as it should be. It seems that the routine that moves the
cursor
underestimates the space occupied by the string by a factor of 6/7.
Do you have any suggestion to solve the problem?
Best,
Palama

url field
by Peter Slegg
I noticed a couple of oddities that may just be the Atari version.
1. I opened an incomplete url and got a "bad url" error. So I
closed the Netsurf window and tried to open another.
Instead of an empty window I got the bad url error again. I had to
exit and restart Netsurf.
2. I tried to append some characters onto the url field but
instead of the extra characters being added the url was replaced
with the pasted item.
Using version 1718 but I know these have been around for a while.
Regards,
Peter

dates of !Boot and !System within download
by Jim Nagel
I have just downloaded the current development version,
NetSurf-gcc-json-1718/zip and am in the throes of installing it on
several machines here.
Datestamps on the !Boot and !System folders and all their contents
were lost again sometime before 2014-02-04 (possibly before
2013-04-25, which is the previous time I logged this). It's
apparently difficult for the autobuilder(?) to maintain true
datestamps on these files.
Suggestion to the Netsurf team:
Please, could you include an extra "Readme-date" file in the download
zipfile that would simply state in plain text the date of the last
actual change and words to the effect that "If you have updated !Boot
and !System since this date, there is no need to do it this time."
It would save the chore of going to every machine and repepetititively
performing the merge-boot and merge-system rigamarole when it isn't
necessary. (The rest of the job of updating the !Netsurf application
on all stations can be done over the network.) Thanks.
Here are actual internal dates of modules in today's download. The
most recent update was in fact more than a year ago.
In the !System.310.Modules directory:
CryptRandom 0.13 (01 Jun 2012) © Theo Markettos theo(a)markettos.org.uk
Iconv 0.12 (20 Jan 2013)
SharedUnixLibrary 1.10 (10 Apr 2006) (C) UnixLib Developers, 2001-2006
Tinct 0.14 (25 Apr 2009) [fr]
In the !System.310.Modules.Network directory:
AcornURI 1.04 (20 May 2006) © Christian Ludlam
The !Boot in today's download contains !Boot.Resources.!Unicode, which
is an application containing 78 files (encodings and other stuff).
All of them are stamped 2014-02-04, and unfortunately none of them
have internal dates.

Netsurf and the Mantis bug tracker
by Brian Jordan
Yesterday I successfully submitted a bug report, but only at the second
attempt because of what I suspect is a failing in Netsurf.
I carefully completed the form on the Mantis site and submitted it,
Mantis responded with an page indicating that the information I had
supplied about the CI build was incorrect and that I should use my
browser's back button to return to the form and correct the error. This I
did only to be presented with a totally blank page from which to submit
my report. Fortunately I had had the foresight to compose the report in
Zap so didn't have the frustration of typing it all again so I completed
the form and ensured the build information was correct and it was
successfully submitted.
I felt this apparent failing should be added to the bug tracker and, in
the interest of reporting the issue accurately, decided to recreate the
problem. I therefore wrote a report, leaving the CI build information
blank, and submitted it expecting the failure message to be displayed so
that I could perhaps enhance the report with more detail. Nope! The
report was accepted.
I could try repeating the process with variations on the build
information until I got a failure but fear that I might submit a string
of meaningless reports in the process with the result of irritating the
developers and making a total **** of myself.
I'm not sure what to do now other than suggest that, if you are sending a
bug report using NetSurf, you compose it in a text editor nd save it
before you hit the submit report button.
