Are there currently any plans to fix the long-standing bug whereby the
small thumbnail images in the visual history window don't work on the
Iyonix?
The odd thing is that sometimes they work and sometimes all you get is a
blank window.
I thought that if you started off browsing from a local file and followed
links then there'd be no images, but it seems quite random whether you get
them or not.

Not unless it becomes clear what the cause is. All that's known at present
is that, in some circumstances, bitmap data in the on-disc cache can become
corrupt. Now, it's possible to ignore broken bitmaps and carry on plotting
but that's a bit pointless if the root cause of the issue is unknown. This
is not a RO5 or Iyonix specific issue.
Please add any more evidence you have to this bug report:

The more detail we have on an issue, the more likely it is that we'll be
able to track down the cause. This is particularly important in cases like
this one where the problem in question is not reliably repeatable.

Oh, that's interesting, because I've never seen the problem occur on the
Risc PC (RISC OS 6). Indeed, I've been experimenting just now, and the RPC
seems to display the history thumbnails correctly for each page, or new
page etc., including all my local pages which don't display on the Iyonix.
Please add any more evidence you have to this bug report:
Will do - but not managed to locate anything meaningful or objective yet.

I've had this too, recently I even had a history view where some pages
(in a row across the viewer) were shown, but others in lower rows were
not.

OK I'll bite.
What's the visual history window?
