If NetSurf is already running, selecting a link in an incoming message in Messenger works and NetSurf opens the web page. However, if NetSurf is not running (but Alias$URIOpen_... and Alias$URLOpen_... are set to run it), and I click on a link in a Messenger message there is a pause, then the border of a dialogue window is drawn (with no content) and the machine locks up. The mouse pointer still moves but Alt Break etc. can't break out of the lock-up.
If I start NetSurf from other applications, or my own Basic functions that look at Alias$URLOpen_... and do a Wimp_StartTask, it works OK. So it seems that whatever Messenger is doing to fire up NetSurf causes this problem. I thought I would ask if any other NetSurf users have seen the problem (then I'll probably report it to RComp). I'm running NS r4259 with Messenger 5.12 on VirtualRPC-SE -- Mike Hobbs
