peculiar F3 crash saving an Archive web page
this crash is repeatable; i'm mystified: www.archivemag.co.uk, click on the URLs link in the left-hand menu, it loads, mouse over the main frame, F3 to save it -- Netsurf immediately quits leaving hourglass running. reload Netsurf, same sequence repeats. this is shortly after a reboot. a few minutes ago it crashed from the same F3 but froze the machine, hence the reboot. from the same menu, the Booklets or Prices frames save with no problem. curiouser, menu Page>Save does the job fine, whereas F3 crashes.

That is why RiscLua, for example, parses hard spaces as spaces, along with tabs and newlines. Inside strings and comments they are not translated. -- Gavin Wraith (ga...@wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/

The problem is with NetSurf replacing spaces with hard spaces. Easily solved using, for example, !ConvText using a script line of the form: [160]:[32] |This turns a hard space into a normal one - or you could use your favourite text editor to search and replace. It can be useful to have a display font which shows hard spaces differently to check. A bit annoying, tho', for displaying news and mail from lazy typers who catch the Alt key whilst typing spaces.
