I think the very first thing is to update the main dillo.org page so that visitors will know that dillo shows signs of life. I agree. We should update the front page and make it a bit more optimistic :-). +1
Also I'd like to see some infrastructure changes like a more advanced bug tracker / modify the existing one (user comments come to mind, and *please* get rid of the background image in the search results).
What is still missing for an official release apart from image maps? I like the way firefox is getting rid of more and more dialog boxes. Like the "find in page" command. In firefox the user enters the search string into a input field embedded in a bar emerging from the bottom of the screen.
This has several advantages: * avoid cluttering the desktop (this is even more important if the screen is very small [think mobile phones]) * avoid to cover the search result (this is possible if it isn't possible to scroll the windows content in a way that the search result is visible) * you always know which search box belongs to which browser window since the search bar is a part of that window (this gets even worse with tabs)
Somewhat related I would suggest to get rid of the location dialog (ctrl + l). As far as I can see it has offers nothing more than entering the address directly into the url bar, so whats the point? Make ctrl + l a shortcut that moves the cursor to the url bar instead.
On the other hand the dialogs allow to use dillo without panel (Ctrl-Space).
Flickering... there was a thread about fltk and double buffer something... there is no flickering when scrolling a page on my machine (there are some artifacts in the scrollbar, it looks like it is jumping around a little or changing its size) but if I move the whole window it flickers a lot.
Both are fltk bugs I think. I also see this with fltk test applications if I add clear_double_buffer(). We should submit bug reports for that.
And one more obscure bug I just noticed while playing around with the scrollbar: When I switch from one virtual desktop (my window manager is e17) to another with a dillo window on it and try to scroll the page it doesn't work. Most of the time it selects text on the page (it didn't when I recorded the movie, typical...). The problem goes away if I move or resize the window so I would guess that it has something to do with window coordinates / dimensions not being correct. I compiled dillo with fltk2 revision 6101.
I don't see this with dwm. Can you try whether fltk test applications show this behaviour too? Cheers, Johannes
