Looking at the Hotlist files posted by Richard Torrens, the entry which caused the truncation was (on one line): <li><a href="http://www.vivastreet.co.uk/east-anglia";> ••▷ East Anglia Free ads, East Anglia classifieds, East Anglia FREE CLASSIFIED ADS, 450,000+ free classifieds in the UK</a></li> A possible temporary workaround would be to edit each title, in the Hotlist window, to remove 'unusual' characters - in this case ••▷ - before quitting NetSurf (so saving the file).
