Exactly so. My comment was neither a bug report nor 'arm wavy', just
noting a characteristic/behaviour of netSurf. 

I very much appreciate there are limited resources available for NetSurf
development, but I am really not in any position to judge whether
rendering a BMP file, or not, is of any real significance, thus my
comment. 

I am just glad that development seems to be going so well as it is, IMHO.

That's what I assumed.
