| Summary | 0000637: Window iconize no longer works for osnews.com | ||||
| Description | This one is rather odd : 1. Clean <Wimp$ScrapDir>.WWW.NetSurf dir 2. Start NetSurf 27 Mar 2006 01:15 3. Open surf window and type osnews.com 4. Let it load all its data + relayout 5. Click on window iconize button -> window closes but no icon on the pinboard. Using other URLs like www.drobe.co.uk, etc works. What's so special about osnews.com ? ;-) Using RiscPC Adjust, ViewFinder. | ||||
| Additional Information | rjek added a note on Fri Jun 23 23:48:01 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=893271 I've added a workaround to NetSurf for this, for the people who aren't likely to be using or seeing Pinboard 1.01 anytime soon. It also appears to be tricky to reproduce on RISC OS 5, although there are stories and myths of similar things happening. My workaround doesn't check for RISC OS 5, but I doubt users will notice the odd occation where the text is truncated a little more zealously than usual. jtytgat added a note on Fri Jun 23 20:15:15 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=1420374 It is confirmed as an OS bug (so it is not a NetSurf bug) and apparently fixed in RISCOS Ltd's Pinboard v1.01. No need to let this remain open. rjek added a note on Wed Jun 21 22:24:43 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=893271 This does appear to be an OS bug. I have reproduced it with !Edit. Here's how: 1. Create a new Edit window. Save it as "iiiiiiiiiiiiiii" 2. Create another. Save it as "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" 3. Iconise both windows. The "m" one won't appear. I suspect this has something to do with the Pinboard truncating at a number of characters, rather than a number of pixels. This would also explain why it works just fine at different point sizes and different fonts, and why some sites work and others do not. Given this isn't a bug in NetSurf, I have reduced its priority to the lowest, incase Adrian can thing of some cunning work around. We might want to experiment to see precisely how many pixels, etc, causes it to fail, and make sure we truncate it for the Pinboard instead. jtytgat added a note on Wed Jun 21 21:43:13 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=1420374 The desktop font choice is indeed the clue we were looking for. I'm currently using Homerton.Bold at 12 point (aspect 100%) and then the bug is reproducable. 11 point and lower makes iconizing work like expected, 12 point and greater the iconizng no longer works so the trigger is somewhere between 11 and 12 point. Are we talking about a RISC OS bug ? pnyoung added a note on Wed Jun 21 09:42:19 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=1386864 This was aired on the Iyo mailing list a while back. It seems to be solved by changing or reducing the size of the desktop font. I had it with other sites, and it doesn't happen here with Homerton 11pt as the desktop font. Best wishes, Peter. jtytgat added a note on Sun Jun 18 19:41:10 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=1420374 Still reproducable with NetSurf build 15 Jun 2006 16:00. Doesn't this have to do with short length of the URL ? jtytgat added a note on Mon Apr 3 21:46:49 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=1420374 This problem got introduced somewhere between NetSurf build 16 Mar 2006 23:45 (= goes fine) and 27 Mar 2006 00:30 (= next build I took a copy off and there the iconisation of osnews.com does not happen). jtytgat added a note on Mon Apr 3 21:40:49 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=1420374 Still reproducable with 31 Mar 2006 10:45 build. I even removed my NetSurf choices directory. Tried 256/32K/16M modes. Always goes wrong with osnews.com (both with shift close-click or clicking on the iconize button), but not with drobe.co.uk or any other website I tried. I also tried to remove the pinboard backdrop (a jpeg file) but that didn't make a difference. It is not that there is an invisible iconized icon, it is simply not there because iconising other windows will not leave a gap for the supposely invisible icon. Very odd (and annoying). rjek added a note on Mon Apr 3 12:04:47 2006 Logged In: YES user_id=893271 I am unable to reproduce this on my RiscPC - the icon appears as a thumbnail of the page without issue (I followed your steps exactly, including emptying NetSurf's scrap directory. I am using CVS head, and I used Shift-Close, however. Can you try again with the latest version? There is one issue in that there are currently only "iconised" borders around the thumbnails on RISC OS 5, meaning that it's feasable that an icon might appear completely invisible.
