This I did only to be presented with a totally blank page from which to submit my report. Fortunately I had had the foresight to compose the report in Zap so didn't have the frustration of typing it all again so I completed the form and ensured the build information was correct and it was successfully submitted. I'm not sure that is a bug, but more a feature request. It is easily reproduced by searching for something using Google, and then pressing back after the search results are displayed. The previous page displays, but without the previous search term pre-filled. You would also have seen the same effect had you clicked back after submitting your bug report. Chris

I imagine people submitting bug reports will be using NetSurf is there a case for making the error trapping a little less harsh particularly as logfiles contain build information? Meanwhile I reiterate that it's a good idea to compose and save reports off-line to avoid this frustration. -- _ Brian Jordan Virtual RPC-AdjustSA on Windows 8.1 Pro RISC OS 6.20 _ --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
