Folks, I've been using dillo for a number of months now, and it has become my first choice browser--I switch to mozilla or opera only when I have to java, javascript, http/1.1 authentication, ssl and the like.
Of late dillo has started getting into a state where all progress stop in all open windows, and it sits on the CPU---keeping my load average at 1.0
Sometimes it recovers after a while, sometime I get fed up and close all windows at the WM manager level. Stopping all the active windows doesn't cure it, nor does closing them. I haven't tried using the `Exit Dillo' menu item, but I'll do so on the next occurrence.
This has been with the CVS version(s) over the last few weeks. Two systems, one running redhat 6.2 (I know, I know...), the other Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r1.
So, two questions:
-- Has anyone else observed this behavior?
Not sure if the problem is the same, but I have noticed this behaviour when I load a big page with an anchor (or is it a reference?) in the address, eg: http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html#kdelibs (WARNING: 853 Kb). It eventually finishes loading the page but it can take a HUGE amount of time (several minutes whereas the same page without '#kdelibs' only takes about 10 to 15 seconds). I do not think however that this particular problem is specific to Dillo as I have already seen Mozilla hung with the same test. HTH Fred
