(forwarded to users list in case anybody there can confirm or otherwise this bug on other platforms)
I'm getting these quite often when attempting to select text in text fields: assertion "s->root->gadget->caret_text_box != NULL" failed: file "desktop/selection.c", line 737 On some (very few, found one earlier today but have forgotten now what it was) sites the highlighting works perfectly, allowing me to edit, highlighting didn't drift off into text that wasn't in the box etc. However, on the majority of sites I encounter, highlighting in a text box appears to select nothing (you get the inverse video block but no text where the text was - text outside the text box however gets selected properly), pressing delete deletes the text that you think is selected. Sometimes when selecting, the assertion above appears. It appears to be that NetSurf is getting confused as to which box it is supposed to be doing the text selection in. This is backed up by the fact when I didn't get the problem, it was on a very simple site, whereas on forums (such as vBulletin based ones where this always happens) you get tables within tables with text fields in them. I had a quick go at writing a test case, but it appears that just nesting table and textareas isn't enough to exhibit the problem. As far as I can tell, the RISC OS version of NetSurf replaces the text fields with proper text editing gadgets, so this bug won't show up there. The other ports should be able to reproduce it though.
