Search oddity on r13075 (plus at least 1 version prior)

2011-10-24 Thread Jess Hampshire
Hi

When I try and search for text on a web page, the dialogue box accepts 
the first letter and then disappears are searches for just that 
letter.

Does anyone else have this issue? (Iyonix on both 5.16 and 5.17)

It works correctly on the default homepage.

On the positive side, I successfully did my voter registration online 
with it.

Not here with r13075 and RISC OS 5.16.

With best wishes,

Exactly the same behaviour here, r13078.

4.02

Not here.

That happens here with r13078 and RISC OS 5.16.

Possible hint (or possibly displaying my ignorance as usual). All the 
test builds between 13071 and 13078 seem to be Amiga-specific, so I 
haven't downloaded them. However, 13077 says Disable Sprite support - 
DataTypes can't handle these, so could that be fouling something up 
for RISC OS?

With best wishes,

Peter.

It actually says:   

Disable Sprite support - DataTypes can handle these. 

which is rather different!  Sprites still load.

Yep, it's an Amiga-specific build change affecting the non-RISC OS Sprite
loader.  There is no impact on RISC OS whatsoever.

 Sprites still load.

They do on the Amiga build too, I've just switched over to using the
fallback decoder (DataTypes).  For those who are interested, DataTypes are
an OS plug-in system for various filetypes - the Sprite DataType uses the
same base code as NetSurf's non-RISC OS built-in support.  Basically I'm
saving a few kilobytes by taking it out of the main executable, as it is
not something which is commonly used here.
