You still need to merge the !Boot and !System directories. The point I was making was that the !Boot and !System directories that are shipped with NetSurf include NetSurf's dependencies. Since the latest iconv is a dependency it contains that too. You don't need to download iconv individually from the iconv web site in order to run NetSurf, because any version of NetSurf which requires it will include it in the archive.

Should 'Reading GIF failed' fail to display a GIF?

Perhaps you wanted me to say that the NetSurf GIF renderer has become more fussy and your GIF just isn't up to it! But I don't see how that helps.

I don't think so. Over typing has only been generally possible (as opposed to non standard behaviour in specific apps) since copy & paste in icons was introduced in Select 3 in 2003, 10 years after the style guide was written.

Yes you're quite right - Ctrl-End does the job.
