JSON #817 uses high CPU when idle
I've just downloaded JSON #817 and given it a quick try around a few pages on the BBC News site - nothing strenuous. I noticed that the CPU temperature (BeagleBoard xM RO5.19 16/05/12) was staying around its upper range even after I had closed the browser window so I used TaskUsage to see what might be causing this and found Netsurf using around 80-85% of the CPU even without any browser windows open, just idle on the icon bar. I reverted to the last version I have to hand (#812) and went round the same pages and closed the window and the CPU usage by NetSurf dropped back to 0% as expected. I understand that being a test version there may be reasons for this, but thought I'd mention it in case it wasn't expected behaviour. -- Grahame Parish
Toolbar Customisation
I am trying to use Netsurf on a Raspberry Pi and I am having trouble understanding parts of the Netsurf User Guide. There, Under Toolbar Customisation, is this passage: 'To move the icons around , enable toolbar edit mode by clicking menu over the toolbar and choosing "Edit toolbar". This will open the toolbar editing panel.' I don't understand what is meant by 'clicking menu over the toolbar'. All I can see above the toolbar is the usual menu list of File Edit View Navigate and Help. I have tried a right click on the toolbar, but nothing happens. The other point I am having trouble with is when discussing Toolbar Icons the guide refers to 'Adjust Click' and 'Select Click'. I have not met these terms. Ken Ellis

The middle button, or often nowadays a scroll wheel, is the 'Menu' button, and it is this mouse button to which the above refers. > The other point I am having trouble with is when discussing Toolbar Icons > the guide refers to 'Adjust Click' and 'Select Click'. I have not met > these terms. Similarly, the left button is called 'Select' and the right button 'Adjust', and therefore the 'Click' referred to here is the clicking of the right and left mouse buttons respectively. Thus, from left to right, the three mouse buttons are: Select, Menu, Adjust, and their names usually start with a capital to avoid the obvious confusion and ambiguity which may be partly contributing to your problems and those of other newcomers to the OS. Hope this helps, John

Select is the left mouse button, and Adjust is the right mouse button. If you see "File" "Edit" "View" etc. then you probably aren't using RISC OS. -- Brian Howlett --- Every 4 seconds a woman has a baby. Our problem is to find this woman and stop her.

Good point, Jim lad, but if his help file mentions Select, Adjust and Menu, then that suggests that Ken is using RISC OS :-) With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter Young (zfc Ta) and family Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

I believe the GTK version (which I'm pretty sure is what is being used) does not have its own help file, but instead links to the NetSurf website. The documentation area of the NetSurf website is, as I'm sure you are aware, targetted at the RISC OS version of NetSurf. Perhaps the correct information to provide to Ken, is that the toolbar on the GTK version of NetSurf is not cutomisable. Chris
