It not that these sites don't get tested, its that after they're tested, and the browser not being condusive to real world application, the best that can be hoped for is wait until the bugs are fixed, test again, and if the browser is working then keep using it. If not... well then Konqueror usage will fall by the wayside. If the browser is unusuable and remains so because of neglect, then you will see fewer and fewer people using the browser. Don't you think? I've said this over and over and over again. Most users use computers. They are not QA technicians for developement houses, nor should anyone expect them to be so. A few of us take Open Source seriously and do our best to participate. But most people do not have the time or inclination. They just want the OS and applications that they use to work. If it doesn't they move on. Konqueror is rather quickly falling by the wayside which is terribly unfortunate. These are just the bugs that I've posted and continue to monitor, and there must quite a number more. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106367 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157440 (This one also will affect the Web Interface for Kollab). https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157481 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157483 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172534 Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
