I noticed the following comment: "Last month of development left, next RC release will mark feature freeze."
So I have several comments. First, I noticed that the font displayed for mathematics in Wikipedia is probably too small. To demonstrate, go to Wikipedia for any page that displays equations or mathematics. For instance, load the page about "Special Relativity". Part way down the page is the beginning of the mathematics behind Special Relativity. All fonts in the equations appear too small to me.
Second, I would like to see a "Paste and Go" option in the search areas on the address bar and on the start page.
Third, when I start a session from a previously saved session, I have the option checked to load each page only when I focus on the next web page. This option can save on bandwidth. Here, this option works as expected. However, if I then open another previously saved session, all pages are loaded simultaneously. I think the option to load only when there is focus should apply as in the first case.
As an aside, I would like to see the "issues" link to comments be put in the "About" box that is at the top of the otter-browser.org page. This move would eliminate users from having to scroll to near the bottom of the page to show "issues". Also, a new user would immediately see the link and not possibly stumble upon it later.
Otter has now become my main browser. Please keep up the good work.
There appears to be a slight problem with the 32-bit version of Beta12 on Windows 7. Namely, some of the images do not display. Steps to reproduce: 1. Load the weather website -- www.weather.com. 2. Scoll down to where a lot of images are displayed. No images appear. Hope that this problem can be corrected. I would like to use the smaller 32-bit version. The 64-bit version does not appear to have this problem. Siincerely, Mathman12
I like using the previous session quite a bit. An annoying bug has now appeared. Namely, if the web page is enlarged with the zoom in option, the correct zoom level is not remembered for that web page when Otter is executed again using the previous session. Steps to reproduce: 1. Load a new web page (say, www.ask.com). 2. Enlarge the web page quite a bit using the zoom in option under the view menu. 3. While the view is thus enlarged, exit Otter. 4. Execute Otter again with the option to reuse the previous session. 5. Note that the web page is not enlarged like it was in step 3. In fact, the web page appears even larger. Using weekly 153, 64-bit, Windows 7 or 8. Maybe this bug can be corrected in a few weeks. Thank you for this browser. Sincerely, Mathman12

Using test-qtwebkit.exe, I can NOT reproduce the issue using test-qtwebkit.exe, that is, the page seems to load fine and terminates. However, errors and warnings are shown in the lower right corner.
As for using the context menu: When I right click on a non-actionable area in the page, the context menu shows that the reload button is correctly replaced with the stop loading button. However, left clicking on that stop button has NO effect -- the page is stuck in a never stop loading phase.
But these steps may reliably reproduce the problem. In Otter118 (QtWebKit 32 bit or 64 bit [tested on both]): 1. Include the arguments file in the otter executable folder with text --portable. 2. Make sure there is not a cache or profile subfolder present. In other words, like a completely fresh installation. 3. Execute otter-browser.exe and (on the blank address bar) input the web site https://weather.com/weather/today/l/62801:4:US 4. Wait for the second round of loading which may require clicking through some SSL errors. 5. After a minute or more, try clicking on the stop button.
Note in Otter118: The page does not stop loading. Expected result in Otter118: The page stops loading. Result in Otter98: The page eventually stops loading on its owns and the stop button naturally returns to reload. Result in Otter118 (QtWebEngine 32 bit or 64 bit): The page eventually stops loading on it owns and the stop button naturally returns to reload.
Tested on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1, Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, and Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
Others have noted this problem, namely: exley Reply #315 on: 2016-04-07, 11:09:41 (1460023781) "when page is loading, clicking on STOP doesn't stop loading page at all." py-thon Reply #320 on: 2016-04-08, 13:49:08 (1460119748) "Stop-button sometimes doesn't react at all."
I would use the QtWebEngine version but that version does not seem to remember the correct position or zoom setting from session to session. Each position is set to 0,0 and each zoom is set to 100.
Thank you for this browser. Please keep up the good work. I've been using Otter as my main browser for about 2 years now and have found it to be very good. However, on the address bar, the stop loading button (a red octagon with a white X that toggles with the green reload button) does not seem to work on long loading site such as https://weather.com/weather/today/l/62864:4:US The stop loading button seems to work correctly in weekly Otter 98, but not weekly 99 or higher. Hopefully, this problem can be readily fixed. Note: Windows 7 bin32. I have many more suggestions, bugs, and comments but (as this post is my first) will refrain for now. Sincerely, Mathman12
