I just compiled 2.8.6dev.11 with patch 11i for mingw (under cygwin). This is the first lynx I have compiled since dev.5. I noticed some changes in the display; I don't know if these are related to the other reports or not. The mingw port is compiled with PDCurses 2.6. Both dev.5 and dev.11 use the same curses library.
In dev.11, the cursor is to the right of the link for a non-text-input-field. This is with "show cursor" off. If "show cursor" is on, the cursor is to the left of the link. In dev.5 the cursor stays in the lower right hand corner of the screen, except when at a text input field.
I hadn't noticed this. Actually what I see is incorrect but different: I'm seeing the cursor at the end of the message line at the bottom,
rather than at the lower-right corner.
In dev.11, on the options page, long lines are wrapped. In dev.5 they were truncated. In dev.11, when one of the long wrapped fields is changed via the drop-down box, the wrapped part on the next line is not updated. For an example, see the line for "links and form fields are numbered".
Perhaps that's specific to PDCurses. Running with ncurses in a 20x65 xterm, I don't see that. (I do see the line above the message line cleared while the menu is visible, but restored when the menu is popped down - that's with expert mode). PDCurses' X11 port behaves properly too (but I'll make a note to test on win32).
When printing "lynx -version", I noted that it still prints a reference to moxienet for lynx ssl support. We should probably remove that. The code is in src/LYMain.c.
Lynx -version reports: Lynx Version 2.8.6dev.11 (05 Jan 2005) libwww-FM 2.14FM, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.7g-dev, pdcurses 2.601 Built on cygwin Mar 30 2005 19:01:37
The "-MM" - actually the "libwww-FM 2.14FM" is in the same category - we could simply remove both strings.
