Many thanks for the response. Here, NS #2136 behaves correctly, however NS #2190 doesn't. I think that the problem has something to do with the font size. In Choices > Fonts, the default, and minimum, font sizes are both 12 pt. file:///NetSurf:/Resources/en/welcome.html opens at 100% scale but the fonts, apart from the headline, are displayed at 14 pt, however it seems that the locations of the active areas may have been determined assuming a display 12 pt. This results in the active areas being displaced to the left, and upwards. Both displacements are proportional to the distance from the top-left corner of the page. Increasing the display scale to 110% causes the fonts to be displayed at 12 pt and the active areas then match the link locations. Reverting to 100% scale causes the fonts to become smaller than 12 pt, but the active areas still match the link locations. Other pages are also affected, but a workaround seems to be to increase /decrease the display scale. Tony

I played around with the Def Font sizes, including to match yours but it didn't make any difference, NS #2190 continued to work okay. Not much help I appreciate, but worth noting. BTW.

R-Pi B+ RISC OS problems
Netsurf won't run here: during loading it gives an error: "Memory exhausted whilst loading URL file." Memory isn't exhausted: I suspect there is another problem which is being wrongly errored. So where and what is the "URL file" so I can check it? This is with recent Netsurf and back quite a way. So I think it is a problem with the file - not with the memory! -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

I'm guessing you have your own scale setting configured? Visit about:testament and if you have "user" in the "Provenance" column for the scale setting, then you'll have some other value set. The default is 100%. Anyway, assuming that non-standard scale configurations are the problem, it should be fixed in the latest build. Cheers, -- Michael Drake http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
Maps
Since NetSurf doesn't have enough JavaScript support to use Google Maps, I've added a simple front end to the Google Static Maps API. You can have a go with this if you visit: about:maps in the latest NetSurf development build. -- Michael Drake http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

Now that is really useful. Many thanks. Searching for an explanation of the various parameters led me to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/ This has a black background, but can be read easily in NetSurf, by pressing ctrl-a to select all.

As you say, a most useful reference. Strangely I have no black background problems here with build 3.3 (Dev CI #2193) if JavaScript is disabled. If JS is enabled the page doesn't render at all. -- _ Brian Jordan Virtual RPC-AdjustSA on Windows 8.1 Pro RISC OS 6.20 _ --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
