Web Browser Discussion, Browser Talk - Slimjet Web Browser Online Forum

As we saw, there was an update for 1.2.7 (last night). When my browser notified me (using the yellow banner, not the small balloon), 2 things happen, both not good.

1. The yellow banner is partly hiding BEHIND the webpage that loaded. That small flash is part of a customized page from my.myway.com It obscures the choices or ability to update! Can that notification bar behavior be such that it is always on top?

2. Just for curiosity, I clicked the drop down update checking options (I think it says that!) and when clicking, Slimjet crashes every time.
Can anyone confirm (that may or may not have the same kind of issue with the notification bar being obscured) if clicking the drop-down crashes the browser?

Had to go back to 126 to check but confirmed, I wouldn't have noticed this as i tend use http://www.slimjet.com/en/whatisnew.php for updates because i have slimjet update settings set to never mainly so i know that its me that's doing the update so if there is any bugs i know its the update.

Thanks for verifying it though. Both issues (partially blocked and crashes)?

Normally I don't click the drop down, but since I could not see the update button, as it was hidden, I just tried for curiosity. Normally I just go to the product website but this at least tells me there is an update!

The crashes, Soz should have mentioned that.

The crash will be fixed in the next update.
The partial block thing is probably caused by some racing condition. I can't reproduce it at the moment. But I will keep checking.

Does the notification bar already have an "Always on top" status? If not, maybe that resolves it.

That "Jeff's Page" is just a flash thing. I'll see if I can remove it, but its ok to find these small things! I was able to change it to a picture (unfortunately, no customizing but ok). If you find something or want to try something relating to the "partially hidden notification bar" and have me test, let me know....

Installed 1.2.8 and realized will have to wait for 1.2.9 to verify its fixed!

resolved!
