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.

Going back to the previous page by pressing [Alt]+[<-] now works with that ocean demo page.

It still does not work with the PDF files on the internet that I tested, e.g. with this one:
https://math.dartmouth.edu/~doyle/docs/ ... scan/3.pdf

Maybe it has something got to do with the fact that I have installed the "PDF-XChange Editor" on my system, and as far as I can see, the PDF pages are displayed by a plugin of that program. However, the PDF content is shown inside of the Forkle window. Going back from that PDF file is no problem e.g. with MS Edge or Firefox.

Little John wrote: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.

Little John wrote:When after the start of Forkle I change its window size with the mouse and then press [F1], Forkle again changes the window size automatically. Something similar happens after clicking "About Forkle" on the menu. The user has a reason for choosing a particular window position and size, so something like that shouldn't happen.

Little John wrote: I still detected two glitches, sorry.

a) I ran

Code: Select all

forkle.exe https://www.purebasic.fr/english/

then pressed [F1] and then [Esc]. Now just pressing [F1] again does NOT show the help, but I have to press [F1] twice. It's similar with clicking at the "Quick start" menu entry.

b) The page that is shown after clicking "About Forkle" in the main menu looks somewhat strange in many cases, because resizing the main Forkle window doesn't have an effect on the "gadget" containing the license information. So if the main window is rather big, there are big white margins, and if the main window is rather small, the license information is not completely visible, and the big "Forkle" name can be on top of the text of the license information.

Includes a few bugfixes in the error handling and page rendering areas.

Just curious, I'd love to know if some people are still using this browser?
