noscroll

If you make the window bigger, you see more of the text.  But the 
scrollbars don't change in response. Once the window fills the whole 
screen, there's no way to view the remaining text.  The cursor keys or 
pagedown have no effect; nor does the scrollwheel.

Never seen this phenomenon before.  What's going on in the coding?

If it's something in the site's CSS, is there any way of tweaking it 
in Netsurf?

First noticed this using Netsurf #2789 on Armini 5.22; same behaviour 
now in Netsurf #2935 on Iyonix 5.18.

black background obscures most of page

2015-08-26 Thread Jim Nagel
Most of this page is obscured by a black background that overprints 
all but the first inch or two at the top of the page:
http://www.combehillwood.co.uk/polden-way/

This is using Netsurf #2935, the latest build, installed just now.
It was the same on #2789 (dated about June 9).

I'm curious to know what mechanism is at (mis)work here.  Is it 
something in the CSS maybe?  Or something in Javascript?  I did a 
full save of the page in order to inspect the CSS, but it's beyond 
me.  (One CSS file is nearly 700K.)

I reported a possibly similar problem last spring about a CNET page 
that Netsurf #2644 appeared to render initially; it then immediately 
obscured most of it with a vertical grey band.  Could that have been 
the same mechanism at work?
   Behaviour of that page is different now with #2935:  even less of 
the text is visible.

As I say, I'm curious about the mechanism.  If it's Javascript, I 
appreciate the vastness of the programming job.

 NetSurf CI builds from 2934 contain a fix.

Indeed it's back to three columns now.

My thanks to you - and it's a handy reminder to repeat my thanks to
the whole NS team for your continued sterling work.
