fltk2 snapshot update
Hi, at fltk.org there is a new fltk2 snaphot (r6132) available. It contains a bugfix for the weird green artifacts in the FileChooser. I think we should update the download instructions. BTW, shouldn't we point users directly to fltk.org for downloading fltk2? Otherwise people might think that dillo2 needs a modified version of fltk2. Cheers, Johannes

Thanks, I just upgraded. A nice change: the build now completes successfully without X windows running (it used to build the library but fail to build some of the apps, which was annoying).
It contains a bugfix for the weird green artifacts in the FileChooser.
By the way, when I was refactoring the form parsing code recently I saw those same artifacts on my form test page. They came and went as I changed the code: sometimes they didn't appear at all, sometimes a reload would get rid of them, sometimes I had to go back and forward in the navigation history to get rid of them. Since I was not touching any widget code I assumed I was triggering some sporadic bug in Dillo or FLTK. Let's see if the new FLTK behaves any better!

+1

+1 . We shouldn't let anything discourage people from trying dillo2, so anything that suggests they might need to patch other software is a bad idea. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Along these lines, I've been wondering whether it might be a good idea to list the required and optional libraries on the CVS page.

This may well have been the same bug. UpBox was accessing uninitialized memory. Please let me know, if that problem still exists on your test page. Regards, Johannes

Unfortunately the bug had disappeared again just before I upgraded FLTK so I can't tell if it made any difference. I'll keep an eye out for it. When I've finished the form code split and refactoring I plan to valgrind dillo2 again. Regards, Jeremy Henty

And after a small refactoring it's back (albeit without the unpleasant green, so I guess that's something)! When I've cleared my other ToDos I'll valgrind it. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Done. As the latest FLTK2 has worked OK for us the last months. -- Cheers Jorge.-
