Re: bad formatting of news page

I find on the Netsurf bugtracker (Mantis) that back in Feb, Chris 
Young reported the same problem with web pages from his local paper in 
Bedford.  http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2426

The Bedford pages bear an uncanny resemblance to those from my 
Somerset local, so I'm guessing they use the same software to generate 
them.

Michael Drake, of the Netsurf team, replied this morning in the 
bugtracker thread, rather cryptically:
 This is: LibCSS needs to gain support for Media Queries.

Is it the same as this? http://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2426

It's interesting that Firefox 45.0.1 does display the the text okay, but
some of the site material down the Right hand side column is missing.

With both MS Internet Explorer and Google Chrome both the article and the
RH column material displays what appears to be correctly.
