Hi all, The Browser widget does work as expected in the *64-bit* Linux versions we officially support. I have an Ubuntu 16.04 VM and I can confirm this.
**However**, several users have reported some strange problems on particular Linux distros (including Ubuntu 16.04), which although they seem unrelated to each other, they are actually related. One of those problems is the "something" dialog. Another problem is the non-functional Dictionary (note that the Dictionary uses the Browser widget). The common factor of all those problems seems to be locale-related. If you see those problems, the workaround is to launch LC from the terminal using this command: LC_ALL= LC_NUMERIC=C "path/to/livecode_executable" For anyone interested, see bug http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16848 and all the bugs that are mentioned there.
