What I'm finding a bit weird, behavior wise:
When I select an url from the drop-down button of the address bar,
the url isn't resolved immediately but you need to click into the
address bar field again.

Maybe this can be changed?

Thanks for the quick fix!

Thanks for the quick test

Strange, a second click should not be needed. The behavior should be similar to Edge or IE.
Could you give more details on your Forkle and OS versions?
Did you start getting this issue with a specific Forkle build?

Windows Server 2012 R2 U4

This behavior was already there when I used 0.64.0.327
and I updated today to 0.65.0.418 and it's still the same.
Can't say if it existed before 0.64.0.327, though...

I'm using the non-security restricted version by renaming
forkle to forkle_nsc if this matters...

Just thought you'd might like to know that someone (not me) mentioned it on Reddit today:

https://www.reddit.com/r/software/comme ... e_browser/

I browse the "r/software" subreddit every day, which is why I saw it, and recognized the name (Forkle).

Hmm, hard to say, it might be a bug specific to Windows Server 2012...
Is there any chance you can test it on a different machine/OS?

Thanks! Nice to know - even though it seems the post didn't get much attention

It's only one day old.

@firace

Interesting. It works fine under Windows 7 x64 SP4 and Windows Server 2019 RS5
and... after creating a new VM with Windows 8.1 (the normal consumer edition of
Server 2012), even there.

So it really seems to be a problem just with Server 2012...

I've added this to my issue list, in case I get a chance to play with a Server 2012 system at some point.

Thanks for the thorough testing

It's not quite ready for primetime anyway
Even the application name could still change.

Would appreciate if some people could test the below WebGL Ocean demo in Forkle:

https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_shaders_ocean.html

Thanks for mentioning your OS version, if your system has a GPU, and if the demo runs smoothly.

(60FPS, smooth animation, CPU usage < 15%, RAM < 100MB)

Thanks for mentioning your OS version, if your system has a GPU, and if the demo runs smoothly.

Server 2012 R2 U4
GPU = NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
Intel Core i5 3570K, 3.4 GHz

The demo runs smooth at 60 fps,
~10% CPU, ~32MB ram

Tested with Forkle 0.65.0.418

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, version 1809
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz 64 bit
GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

60 FPS, smooth animation, CPU usage ~ 11 %, RAM usage ~ 76 MB


Problem:
I wanted to get back to this forum page that contains the link by pressing [Alt]+[<-].
That did not work, so I was "captured" on the ocean demo page. The same already happened to me before when I viewed PDF files on the internet with Forkle. This is a serious flaw.

Translating selected text by pressing Ctrl + Shift + T is a very good idea. Thanks for that!

However, when I'm trying to translate English text, I always get a translation from English to English.
This is an example of a URL that Forkle generates:

https://translate.google.com/#view=home ... t=captured

"tl" probably means "target language", doesn't it?
I think it would be more suitable in most cases if Forkle would check the language of the user's system ("de" in my case), and then use that as the target language.
