Re: User feedback requested (esp. RISC OS)

front end: RISC OS
OS version: 5.18
problem: freeze while scrolling through

Note that POPstar was not running - so no clash with other
fetchers. So far freezes seem to happen after just
the slightest scrolling down the page; sometimes after
quite lengthy and varied browsing, sometimes, as in this
case, on the first page opened (so doubtful if any gc can
have taken place). This apparent randomness gives me the
hunch that it has something to do with buffers being
allocated where they should not be, but maybe such a comment
is unhelpful without any evidence.

Sometimes pressing the reset button works - sometimes I have
to toggle the on/off switch at the back.
