text selection and images
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Oct. 16, 2011

There seems to be a problem with images and text selection. When you select the text in foo bar <img src="foo" alt="img"> foo bar the second foo gets selected completely while the mouse is in the space after the <img>. The relevant code seems to be Textblock::sendSelectionEvent(), but I couldn't spot the error yet. Any ideas? Cheers, Johannes

Dillo Win32 Thoughts
by mailbox＠georgpotthast.de Oct. 15, 2011

I suggest to implement a configure option that causes the dpi functions to be linked with the main dillo code. The dpic then needs to be adapted to call these functions directly instead of forking a new process. This would greatly simplify porting Dillo to other platforms. I guess the Dillo developers have already done this for their development so they can step through the entire code with GDB. Georg

Dillo Win32 Thoughts

what I like about the Win32 version is the fact that it compiles to one standalone executable file. No dpi is used. Georg

Dillo Win32 Thoughts

I had the pleasure of trying out Dillo win32 and I must say I like it. (It starts a heck of alot faster then that bloated green lizard thing ... sorry, the name doesn't come to mind right now. ;-) Only one or two things. 1) When I first installed it. I was completely stumped as to how to use the bookmarks. I was trying to add a bookmark without going to the actual site first. One thing that could really eleviate all this, is by setting a few preset default bookmarks (ie. www.google.com, and other favorite search engines.) Notice, there's no "add bookmark" within the menu and you have to have the insight to right click on the displayed page to get this menu.) 2) Copy & paste work only within the displayed page and not within the url field. (Although I really miss middle button pasting in Windows.) 3) One thing I really dislike about Windows, there's no main package manager like the Linux distributions for updating all of your other win32 open source packages. Think most packages & drivers have been all implementing their own update check routine within their Help menus, etc. Now, they just have to get the idea of updating their own packages, such as Adobe Reader. Dillo win32, installs within a few seconds or so. Dillo starts within a few seconds too. Dillo win32 is functional as well.

Hi all. It seems that current digest authentication doesn't supportsA1 calculation. Is there any plan when this is implemented? Regards, furaisanjin

white-space patch
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Oct. 5, 2011

Oct. 5, 2011

Hi, attached is a preliminary patch for white-space: nowrap handling. It' supposed to fix the following issues: * Weird page width in combination with white-space:nowrap sequences (e.g. on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser. * Line breaks at tags (e.g. <b>D</b>illo should not break after the "D". (similar issue on http://fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.development+T) without breaking: * zero width space handling. * ideographic character handling. It's not ready for commit yet, as google results don't render deterministically the same way. Nevertheless please give it a try and report how it works for you. Cheers, Johannes
