A question about the nature of this list
Gentlemen,? Is it permissible to ask questions about odd dillo behavior on this list? ?I have a weird issue that I have not encountered before, and it is best "described" with a picture, but before I post anything, I want to ensure that it is ok to do so.? Regards, Rob Somers

I think it's OK (but don't quote me on it). I'm certainly intrigued. ~Benjamin

Yup.
I have a weird issue that I have not encountered before, and it is best "described" with a picture, but before I post anything, I want to ensure that it is ok to do so.
If you can provide a link to a picture for interested parties to follow, that'd work well. (Our convention is only to use attachments for smallish patches.)

Ok, here is what I am looking at: http://www3.sympatico.ca/rsquared/images/misc/dillo.png As you can see, there is a bunch of text that has sort of "scraped off" the page at the top and the bottom of the viewing area as I scroll up and down. ?When I first start the browser, the two areas I have highlighted are clean, but text kind of builds up there until you see the smudgy mess in the picture. ?I have never seen it before - I asked my wife if she has had that trouble with her computer, and she says no. ?I also showed another friend who uses dillo, and she hadn't seen it before either. ?Since I did a standard build, I am starting to wonder if it is maybe faulty hardware on my machine. ?But I wanted to show you all to see if you had seen this before I start checking elsewhere.

Almost certainly something wrong in fltk2 or dillo. The situations that I'm aware of that screw up rendering are: - configuring fltk with --enable-cairo - running on OSX Do either of these apply?

Well I did not explicitly do?--enable-cairo this time (or any other time I have built dillo), so I will say not. ? And I am running this on OpenSUSE Linux i386. For good measure, I went and built against a different version of fltk2, to see if I missed anything. ?Still the same trouble. ?My build process is outlined in a blog post I wrote so my friend could build it on her machine - it is ?found here (should any of you have the time to take a peek at how I built dillo) : http://totally-out-of-ideas.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-build-dillo-on-opens... Anyway, I don't want to take up too much of your time on something that I have most likely done incorrectly in the build process. ?I will keep fiddling with it, to see what I can figure out on my own.
