Default domain on VRPC

2007-09-11 Thread Mike Hobbs
NetSurf is working well on VirtualRPC-SA except for one annoying aspect. DNS lookups fail unless the full server URL is used. So http://wiki/ says not found whilst http://wiki.ant.co.uk/ is fine. Now, VRPC of course uses the WindowsXP network stack and that has ant.co.uk defined as a default domain

Status display sometimes too small

2007-11-05 Thread Mike Hobbs
When the pointer is moved over links the URI is displayed in the status icon but some links are incredibly long. Would it not be better to display the URI (and/or descriptive text) in a pop-up bubble? An alternative improvement might be gained by moving the horizontal scroll bar onto a separate ro

Lock-up starting NetSurf from Messenger link

2008-08-05 Thread Mike Hobbs
K. So it seems that whatever Messenger is doing to fire up NetSurf causes this problem. I thought I would ask if any other NetSurf users have seen the problem (then I'll probably report it to RComp). I'm running NS r4259 with Messenger 5.12 on VirtualRPC-SE -- Mike Hobbs

microsoft-generated html - 'parsing document failed'

2008-10-30 Thread Mike Hobbs
I frequently get sent html that has been generated by MS Word, Excel or Access and when NetSurf tries to load it the error "parsing document failed" occurs (using r5369 Sep 18 and earlier versions). OK, I know stuff generated by Microsoft software is likely to be a nightmare for anything other tha

similar to a DrawPlus problem I've had for years where the menu widths expand to full screen width, then if I shut down various other applications it will sometimes recover. It would suggest applications trampling on memory that doesn't belong to them. Could it be the same with this NetSurf issue? -- Mike Hobbs

cookie association with specific windows?

like the cookie-stored login status is associated only with the window that was used for successful login. Is this expected? Do other people see similar behaviour? Should I file a bug report? I'm currently using the 2.7 release on VRPC-SA but this affects earlier releases and development builds. -- Mike Hobbs
