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.

Actually, it was not going to this site directly that crashed NetSurf
but clicking the link from Ars Technica in Ars Editor's Picks.

The address of the page containing the link and a log file from when
it crashes, would be exceedingly helpful.
