Ouch! I assume that this is happening on the computer with 2 GB of RAM mentioned later in your post. It would be nice to send a complete bug report with WhisperBack when this happens, so we can look at the logs and see if there's something fishy: https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/bug_reporting/ > isnt tor browser supposed to behave identical in 2.12 and rc1? Ideally yes, but in practice probably not: Tails 2.12 has Tor Browser 6.x (based on Firefox 45), while Tails 3.0~rc1 has Tor Browser 7.0 (based on Firefox 52). So it inevitably will change behavior, sometimes for the best, sometimes in bad ways. > is rc1 more power hungry in ram/processor leaving little to tor > browser on a 2 gb machine? issue is only marginally less on > 4 gb machine. Yes, Tails 3.x is known to eat more RAM than the 2.x series. > - please bring back natural scrolling off as in 2.12, Well, either way someone will be unhappy with the defaults. See the reasoning that lead us to enable natural scrolling: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11969 https://tails.boum.org/contribute/meetings/201612/ > or make trackpad settings persistent. That's https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5979. > - please allow for persistent keyboard This is a very frequently requested feature, that's well tracked on our side: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5501; help is welcome :) _______________________________________________ tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
