 The behaviour of writable icons in NetSurf's RISC OS front end is handled
 by the OS. Therefore these writable icons support this behaviour if you
 run NetSurf on a version of the OS that supports it (ROL OS since
 Select 3), or you run some module that provides similar functionality on
 other versions of RISC OS.

Many thanks for your answer Michael

What you write doesn't make any sense to me, since what you write does 
not explain why it DOES work for the 'URL input' writeable icon, but 
DOESN'T work for the 'Search Google' wtriteable icon, ON THE SAME 
COMPUTER ??

Assuming by the former you mean the URL bar in NetSurf's toolbar, then
it's a WIMP writable icon. It's behaviour is not NetSurf's jurisdiction.
The latter is a form element within a web page and does not use the
RISC OS WIMP. It is entirely implemented by NetSurf.

Ah. Thanks Michael. Now I understand.

Double-clicking on text in the Google writeable icon

2008-09-12 Thread Roger Darlington

Double-clicking the mouse button over text in the Google writeable 
icon does not select the text so that the next letter I write in it 
deletes the previous text.

This does work for the URL writeable icon, but not for the Google 
search writeable icon.

Is it supposed to?
