Apple's NetSurf like patentfiling
Hi, Apple has filed for a patent to enhance the Safari with a tree like diagram to display the history. This does remind me of a certain RISC OS browser ;-) see this link http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/09/25/apple_proposes_improvements_to_safari_browsing_experience.html Cheers, Jeroen

I doubt we could stop this going through. OTOH, I doubt Apple will attempt to stop NetSurf from adding such features should our userbase demand them.

Branch through zero error on A9
I get lots of fatal errors when using my A9 with Netsurf and they are repeatable. Trouble is, I'm not sure whether it's the A9, Netsurf or some other item. With only Netsurf on the iconbar (r5066 but does occur with other versions also) I get a looping Branch through zero at 023018A0 (sometimes 023148F0) and I have to reset the machine to get out of it. It occurs when I have accessed a site that uses SSL (i.e. a url starting with https). As soon as I click on some part of Netsurf (usually an input field but it could be resize icon etc.) I get this looping error. I don't know how to work out from the address given where the problem is occuring. ISTR someone saying that it could be the Cryptrand module (I have v0.12). Does this make sense? Has anyone else with an A9 experienced this? If anyone could help me to track this down and get it sorted I'd be grateful.

Wiki categories
I'm trying to edit a category page (i.e. A-Z) in Wikipedia but having clicked edit page, almost no content appears in the editing box so I don't know where to add the link etc. Does Netsurf allow editing of such pages? thanks, Andrew --

That's weird, as I've just downloaded the latest build (r5530) and it's still doing it. It appears to be a fixed width page so it doesn't make any difference if I make the NetSurf window much wider - it still overlaps all the text, making it unreadable. :-( Screenshot sent off-list, to see if what I see is in fact different.

All I can imagine (groping in the dark) is that it could be something to do with monitor settings. I'm on 1024 X 768 (the highest my monitor will do) and 16 million colours. Could that be likely?
