NetSurf running out of memory
The page shown at www.bjordan.org.uk/test/index.html has started throwing up a "NetSurf is running out of memory" error since at least NetSurf 3.0 (Dev CI#471) and up to 492. In fairness the file is a data file named as .html and RISC OS file typed as HTML; it is prepared for use in a program which later adds it to a template file to produce a valid page. The file contains valid HTML and for many years I have been able to open it in NetSurf as part of the editing process. It opens as expected in NetSurf 2.9 and in the main Windows browsers and is available in a .zip file at www.bjordan.org.uk/test/test.zip -- Brian Jordan Virtual RPC-AdjustSA RISC OS 6.20

If the first two lines $zonkpage 1.35 $usetemplate:.tpl.level1/tpl are removed then it loads fine. These lines don't look like valid html to me. -- Chris Johnson

This is a report on the behaviour of recent test releases of NetSurf showing an inconsistency with what has gone before and with mainstream browsers. I would have expected a complaint about the content more than a warning about memory availability in this case. -- Brian Jordan

My apologies, I missed that message. -- Brian Jordan
Word wrapping
NetSurf is still inclined to split words or expressions over two lines where there is no white space or hyphen. For example this heading, Local clothes collection service helps raise £250,000 for Air Ambulance resulted in the pound sign being displayed at the end of one line and the figures on the line below. The wrap was caused by an image on the right. I'm using NS #488. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

It certainly has a habit of splitting lines at a tag, where the tag applies to only part of a continuous bit of text as well. Egs that spring to mind include sub/superscript in an expression or even some text italic text. The full stop ends up on the next line. -- Chris Johnson
