Displays OK here on #1718, except that (after introductory section) 
the left of all text is lost off the edge of the page.  I can't tell 
how much is missing -- maybe half an inch?

Has that flaw been cured in later builds of Netsurf?

Interesting about the Wikipedia design arguments, though.  One of my 
Windoze-using pals always displays it full-screen -- and he has a wide 
screen -- and I wonder why, because I find such long lines of small 
text cruel to the eye.  Could be it's a different set of assumptions 
from RiscOS, where we are used to having lots of windows open at once, 
whereas Windoze users often have only one.

Hmm, I wanted just now to reopen that page for another look, to see 
how wide a window would result from the RiscOS toggle size button. 
(It's NOT the full width of screen.)  Went to Netsurf history, 
thinking that would be quicker than fetching from the net -- Netsurf 
crashed.

Displays OK, once you have scrolled past the black top section, in
NetSurf #1793.

I think the page toggles to almost the full 1920 pixels horizontally 
of my monitor.
