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

There is no such thing. Do you mean Debian Testing? Sid? What version of NetSurf
are you using?

A patch :)
More seriously, is this the GTK front end, or the framebuffer? If the
later, which renderer? SDL? Frambuffer? X?

I don't know. I start netsurf which connects to the default homepage
http://www.netsurf-browser.com/welcome
and I am presented with a field I can write in with "Google searc" on the
right.
"Google searc" and not "Google search", another indication of netsurf
unerestimating the lenght of a string.
Is there any test I can perform to find out in which program (GTK frontend, framebufer or
other) is the problem generated?
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Palama
