Many thanks for the response. Here, NS #2136 behaves correctly, however NS #2190 doesn't. I think that the problem has something to do with the font size. In Choices > Fonts, the default, and minimum, font sizes are both 12 pt. file:///NetSurf:/Resources/en/welcome.html opens at 100% scale but the fonts, apart from the headline, are displayed at 14 pt, however it seems that the locations of the active areas may have been determined assuming a display 12 pt. This results in the active areas being displaced to the left, and upwards. Both displacements are proportional to the distance from the top-left corner of the page. Increasing the display scale to 110% causes the fonts to be displayed at 12 pt and the active areas then match the link locations. Reverting to 100% scale causes the fonts to become smaller than 12 pt, but the active areas still match the link locations. Other pages are also affected, but a workaround seems to be to increase /decrease the display scale. Tony
