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?

It actually says: Disable Sprite support - DataTypes can handle these. which is rather different! Sprites still load. John

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. Chris

(Iyonix on both 5.16 and 5.17) Yes, but (as has just been pointed out to me this evening) only if the dialogue is opened via the menu. Press F4 and it stays on the screen as intended. That gives a pretty good clue as to where the problem lies, I think, so I'll look into it when I've got a few minutes. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/
