I've not made time to nail down the full set of contributory
conditions, but I noticed an extra linebreak following a link
within a table.

L.D., Gregy and Pete informed me of problems with a set of
framed pages I'm making. They cause me no problems with other
browsers, nor Arachnes 1.64 and 1.66 which I'd used for testing,
but 1.69 (and I assume back to 1.67) are, ahem, bloody awful.
See:
http://www.wymondhamleics.free-online.co.uk/album/
(work in progress) Select a link and Arachne 1.67+ zaps back to
a corrupted version of the first frame just before the JPEG is
rendered. Click the link again and the frame should load OK.

BTW, it would be nice if Arachne could access image map data in
a second file, which is what is happening here, with the image
in the right-hand frame referencing co-ordinates in the left
frame.

Every version runs out of steam and locks up to varying degrees
after following a few messages on the BBs at http://www.iii.co.uk
where 25kB+ (not counting images) has to be retreived for even the
briefest of messages.

When will ’ be rendered as the generally accepted curly right
single quote? Most news and information sites use this entity, and
Arachne must look quirky to any new user. In any case, Ž should
be used for the "capital Z with caron" she's giving us. In the past,
Wiz and others have mentioned the common use of • for bullet
points, which Arachne serves up as something else.

Surely it would be best to implement required and feasible features
as they arise? So, we could get JavaScript support for some proportion
of the most common events; correct rendering of commonly-found 
entities like the ones mentioned above. Not the whole lot, but an
evolving functionality.

Any chance of Clarence's suggestion of an Adobe-style "grabber" for
dual-axis page scrolling?

I'm getting very used to the new slim toolbar, despite misgivings over
the "mouse marathon", and hoping for a mouseover title reveal without
realizing it was there all along. I've never liked the cycling thru
toolbars, and would like the old "medium" one back, with each assigned
to hotkeys.

Getting late...

Later,
