I think that's a "feature" now, since you can right-click (or is it middle click?) to close. It was discussed on the list a while back, I'll try to find the thread when I have time. > 3.

I have no idea about the colors or touchpad thing, I haven't run Linux in a couple years (and good riddance). Cheers, ~Benjamin

Two bugs in the Dillo GUI (both Mac and ubuntu)

by rf.opensource＠gmail.com

I've found a few obvious bugs in the current dillo_port1.3. They first two are present both in Linux (ubuntu 10.4) and Mac OS X (10.6.7). 1. There is no shortcut icon, the system uses a generic "exec" icon instead. 2. The X icon on the tab bar is missing, so the only way to close a tab is to press ctrl+w. 3. This might be a bug in the Linux version, albeit a minor one. When opening www.slashdot.org, Dillo in ubuntu uses a light brown background color. In the Mac version a grey background color is used. As reference, chrome uses grey too. 4. This one is more of a feature request. Like most Mac applications, the shortcuts should work with Command key instead of control key. (I know it's low priority, and I might give it a shot myself later on). General note: I think dillo (FLTK in general?) renders better / more beautifully in Mac than Ubuntu. The fonts are less jaggy (It seems the linux version is not using vector fonts at all?), and I can scroll both horizontally and vertically using touchpad gestures on Mac, while only vertical scrolling works in dillo under Linux. And at least for slashdot.orgthe colors are rendered more faithfully. P.S. I guess now we can officially claim in the dillo website that dillo 1.3 is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.6. I'll get my hands on a 10.5.8 machine next week and will try it there too. -Reza

Jorge, Good job identifying the problem. Based on the symptoms it looked too much like the bug is in Dillo. I just found out your patch ( http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2652+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+Q2652) and I'm impressed on how you found the issue. I should also add that now the rendering looks better than before. I'll install dillo on my linux box to cross compare now, but it's great that nasty bug is resolved. -Reza On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 12:52 AM, reza farivar <rf.opensource(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Woohoo!!! > > r.8771 fixes all problems! > > Thanks Jorge! > > On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 9:08 AM, Jorge Arellano Cid <jcid(a)dillo.org>wrote: > >> Hi Reza, >> >> On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 03:03:54PM -0500, reza farivar wrote: >> > [...] >> > Any suggestions what to look for next? >> >> Please try vanilla dillo with fltk-1.3 svn version r.8771. >> >> Or if you don't know how to get it from svn, patch your >> rc7 with this: >> >> http://fltk.org/newsgroups.php?s6029+gfltk.commit+v6048+T0 >> >> The FLTK devs are expecting our answer to close the issue. >> >> -- >> Cheers >> Jorge.- >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Dillo-dev mailing list >> Dillo-dev(a)dillo.org >> http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dillo-dev >> > >

I can open a page with META and charset in the HEAD ( http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAPstieglitz.htm) and it opens fine. I successfully see ">>>> a_Nav_repush <<<<" in the logs. With CSS support enabled, the same page with META (and a bit of CSS) does not load. Interestingly, loading it DOES NOT force a repush, even though it should since that page has <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> Note: seeing a ">>>> a_Nav_repush <<<<" in the logs is more of an indication that something good happened which opens the clog. So the question is, what happens during CSS parsing that forces a repush? Or looking at the problem the other way, why disabling the CSS support makes pages work without a repush, while having the CSS clogs them until something happens that a repush takes place? > > _______________________________________________ > Dillo-dev mailing list > Dillo-dev(a)dillo.org > http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dillo-dev >

Do you have any problems when repushes are triggered by meta tags changing the character encoding (Html_tag_open_meta() )?

It didn't work from the tools menu, but once I added load_stylesheets=NO parse_embedded_css=NO to dillorc and make clean;make again, it's now much much better! Aside from the first tab (see below), I never have any connections problems now. As I was guessing, the busy wait is still there ONLY for the first tab (whether entered from command line or in the browser). But now any second tab will get stuff working, and I never see a page not loading again. So for now I'm assuming this busy wait of the first tab is an orthogonal issue and leave it alone (for now I can launch dillo as $src/dillo www.yahoo.com www.google.com and they both load fine). So, it seems the bug stems somewhere in the stylesheets support, and perhaps the repush issue was pointing to this as well. Any suggestions what to look for next? > > > P.S.
