Presumably Netsurf flushes the buffer when it returns to look at the scroll wheel? That doesn't help either. It's particularly annoying with Edit when you have a cpu-intensive process running in background. Edit jumps one line every time it gets in. With NetSurf it's the opposite. I try turning the scroll wheel very slowly and nothing happens, then slightly faster and it jumps more than a page. BTW: there seems to be a change recently.

UserPassword is entered in the User box, |i is ignored. I've noticed that recently I've had to log into my forum every session. Previously I stayed logged in using a cookie. The forum scripts haven't changed. Could this be something in NetSurf or could it be caused by some security change on the server. Most of my hosting problems are traced to mod-security settings. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a user experience - I just want stuff that works.
ctrl-arrow keys in Ro
Something went wrong with Netsurf's implementation of the Ctrl-arrow keys in Acornland quite some while ago. The standard Acorn behaviour in almost all other apps is that Ctrl supercharges the arrow keys to take you all the way in that direction. In other words, Ctrl-up scrolls you all the way to the top of a window, Ctrl-right all the way to the right, etc. (I presume this is in the Style Guide.) Try it. Shrink any Netsurf page (with its bottom-right gadget) to a small size so that it needs scrolling. In Netsurf #616, and in 2.9 -- Ctrl-up works as expected Ctrl-down does nothing Ctrl-left takes you all the way RIGHT Ctrl-right takes you all the way LEFT In 2.8, 2.7 -- Ctrl-down does nothing; other three work. In 2.5 -- all Ctrl-arrow keys work as expected. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk || See you at SW show? www.riscos-SWshow.co.uk February 23
