On RISC OS 5.27 (19-Apr-10) on a Titanium I see the issue with 3.8 #5472, and also with #4321, the oldest 3.8 I have. NetSurf 3.7 is better. -- David Pitt

That website appears to be generated by WordPress. Buckets of CSS and gallons of JQuery. I find the only way to deal with such pages in NetSurf is to export them as text. -- Tim Hill Find an event to attend at: http://timil.com/riscos/calendar/ Mimemap and other stuff: http://timil.com/riscos/

Well, as Peter says, if it's still happening in the latest development version, it's probably a bug, or maybe a piece of CSS or Javascript that isn't yet implemented. It displays the same with Javascript on or off. -- Brian Howlett - "A man with a briefcase can steal more money than any man with a gun" - Don Henley

3.8 breaks text on left on some sites
I upgraded to NetSurf 3.8 on NetBSD 8.0 and find that for some websites text is getting cut on the left hand side. A sample website: https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/lasith-malinga-ousted-dimuth-karunaratne-to-lead-sri-lanka-world-cup-5681042/ I reverted to 3.7 and do not find this problem there. Curious whether this happens to other users also. Is there a setting/workaround or shall I file a bug report? Mayuresh
