OK, the problem is reproducible, at least. Thanks, Steve. I've reverted to r11851 for the time being. Dave

A bit more specifically, it stops working in r11877 having been OK in r11876. I'm afraid that's probably as far as I can usefully go without a very steep learning curve, though. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Show Saturday 16 April 2011 http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/ http://www.wakefieldshow.org.uk/

I can't even select any text from an ROOL forum posting, so I don't even get that far! I've just tried r11925, which still shows the problem. Dave

Well, I'll get that download, thanks Steve. And if it occurs again I'll make sure I note exactly which website it was and the logfile. I have a sneaky feeling it may be something to do with greek characters on the page, but they are showing as greek on my Netsurf. -- Cheers Roger A proton is for life, not just for Christmas

I can see how that might be broken, as the selection save dialogue prepare isn't (or wasn't, following my changes, until r11923) checking the correct values are in place before trying to do its stuff.

I've tried r11907 and r11922. Following up my own post: it's a problem in NS. r11851 on the BB selects text OK; r11907 and r11922 on the Iyonix don't. I may have to revert. I'd better put in a bug report too. Dave

The former It also sometimes freezes the RO mouse when I am on a website and I select a bit of text which is on the page by highlighting it in black, then Menu - Selection>Save. As soon as the 'Save' dialog is about to pop up (but doesn't actually pop up) the mouse pointer freezes and nothing seems able to un-freeze it. Next time it happens I'll get a log.

Do you mean that you accidentally click Menu over the browser window, and then accidentally traverse to Page->Export->Text, or that you have the Export Text dialogue open and accidentally click Menu over it? Neither of those seem to cause a problem on RISC OS 5.16, so without more info it's going to be hard to track down.
