| Summary | 0002343: Netsurf isn't saving JavaScript status | ||||||||
| Description | As of my most recent download (v2875) Netsurf no longer seems to be saving the JavaScript on/off state to its Choices file. Altering the state of the 'Hide advertisements icon, for example, alters the content of the file saved: selecting 'Disable JavaScript' only affects the current session and the status is not saved to disc on exit. The effect is that Netsurf repeatedly defaults without warning to JavaScript-enabled status, causing pages to hang.... | ||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Open configuration window. Select Content->Content blocking->Disable JavaScript Quit Netsurf. Reload. Icon is no longer selected. Inspection of <Choices$Write>.WWW.NetSurf.Choices shows no configuration line has been written to file. | ||||||||
| Additional Information | Netsurf v2875, RISC OS 5.21, ARMini. | ||||||||

Yep, this is currently the behaviour we expect. We're testing a new JS implementation and part of this involves forcing it on all the time. We'll turn it back to choices-controlled when we're back to feature parity. For now, you can simply turn JS off every time you load the browser instead. |
Harriet Bazley (reporter) 2015-08-11 13:18 |
This is a bit complicated for my mother, I'm afraid ("The browser isn't working!") The safest thing to do is probably to revert to an earlier version for the moment. |

Aye, sorry, but CI releases are not meant for non-technical users anyway, since it's quite hard to get good bug reports out of them :-) I hope to be in a position to disable the 'force-on' fairly soon, but it's a long slog back to feature parity with our JSAPI implementation. |

Oh, as an additional comment, I'd love some examples of pages which hang with JS on, so I can start to debug why :-) |

This is the last one we encountered: https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/70706/22069226/13/#138517133 |

The URL cited by Harriet does not hang with JS on, in CI#3046. If it appeared to do so before, this is probably another manifestation of the slow regex interpreter that was fixed recently. |

Harriet Bazley (reporter) 2015-11-03 00:26 |
Yes, this is the same bug that was fixed for that site as 2364/2366. |

Dave Higton (developer) 2016-02-04 22:08 |
This has been fixed as of quite a few versions ago, getting ready for another release. |
Vincent Sanders (administrator) 2016-02-16 14:06 |
Confirmed fixed in 3.4 release |
