Summary 0002740: Contents links in WIkipedia don't work
Revision 2020-03-15 14:54 by Harriet Bazley
Description Clicking on any link in a Wikipedia Contents section fails to work. There is no visible response; the page doesn't reload, and it doesn't scroll to the relevant heading.
If you Adjust-click to force the link to open in a new window, the window opens with a horizontally restricted work area and a blank section to the right (see attached image), with the page scrolled sideways hiding the area to the left of the main frame e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#Soviet_variants
 

N.B. If you edit the URL in such a page to remove the anchor and reload, the content then expands back to fill the full width of the page.

Additional Information Same behaviour seen in Netsurf v4358.
Interior links within a Web page appear to function as normal on other websites.

Possibly an issue with frame handling? All Wikipedia pages are now showing up with a frame scrollbar down the right-hand side, overlaying the edge of the content....
