Bug Out of date
What is the reasoning behind marking a bug out of date? Particularly when it is easily reproducible with the last test build by one click on the given URL. The bug in question was a serious one which caused NetSurf to use almost 100% of CPU, not just during rendering but after rendering had stopped, and even the window on that website had been closed. The only remedy being to kill the process. -- David J. Ruck email: dr...@druck.org.uk phone: +44(0)7974 108301

Shortcut for Save Location??
Steve, Is it possible for us to have a keyboard shortcut key for Page Save Location Ant URL / Acorn URI please. I don't know what other people think? but I am always saving URLs and it is quite frustratingly error-prone navigating the mouse to the 4th level. It would be nice if we could have a keyboard shortcut to either Ant URL or Acorn URI Is this an easy thing for you to do? I have no idea if it is or isn't myself... -- Cheers Roger Never use just one cooking pot when you can make do with all of them

My favoured option! Gets to the same end for the Ant URL for me! Handy for my URLtoIE proglet too! Best wishes, John

[Snip] Is there a reason why you don't drag or shiftdrag the URL from the address bar? I appreciate this is a keyboard shortcut involving the mouse (!) but it is better than navigating menus IMO. -- Tim Hill .. www.timil.com

It also takes a lot of processing time when you close the window. However I don't see the problem reported on the tracker.
