This morning and with build 3252 it works as expected. Odd. Thanks for checking. Regards, Peter

I knew that they had to have 'proper' nomenclature. The angle brackets I'm mostly used to were usually made from 3/8in mild steel, or thereabouts. Brian

Also #3252. Fair point Brian. If you resize the image to 2/3 of the horizontal screen area (1080 monitor) then all the text can be seen. Richard
The Kingfisher by Corne van Oosterhout
I know that this is very much a technical newsgroup but I just could not fail to be impressed how well NetSurf renders the following, http://totallycoolpix.com/magazine/2016/01/the-kingfisher-by-corne-van-oosterhout some sort of photography!?! Brian

I'm afraid Brian - in this case the credit should be given to the photographer not our wonderful NetSurf Team. As soon as you enter the site with NetSurf 3.4 (Dev C1 #3252) there is a large amount of white space on the right-hand-side before you get to Corne's photography which I must confess is brilliant. Text overlaps the right-hand margin which makes it difficult to read. A couple of the pictures are quite extraordinary - it reveals the 'Nictitating' membrane that covers the eye to protect the bird when diving for fish. Superb :-)) Richard

Yes, but I disregarded the white space. > Text overlaps the right-hand margin which makes it difficult to read. Now that is odd because that isn't happening here.

Superb :-)) That is what I was drawn to, too. Yes, indeed. Superb 8-)) Brian
