Selling touchscreens with poor sensitivity is akin to selling LCD screens with defective pixels - no one stands for that kind of thing these days! :)

As for the gutter space to the right of the scroll bar, when you maximise an application the gutter space disappers suggesting the wasted space in non-maximised view serves no real purpose and is not needed as compensation for hardware limitations. The gutter space visible in non-maximised view is simply down to bad theme/GUI design and no other reason, and should have been dealt with in OS 2005.

So it is encrypted just not what you want.

Nice improvements. How do you suppress the javascript warnings? Domimo Web Access works better except emails in the Inbox don't display. Any ideas?

How do I get it to recognize my bank's digital certificate which I installed via Control Panel?
Thanks

This is intriguing, and great news...and yet so far I'm not really seeing much benefit it me over Opera. So how do I uninstall MicroB without destroying Opera? The packages I see apparently depend on packages I don't see in the Application Manager. I'm assuming I'll have to move to "red pill" mode, but I'm still uncertain of the order in which to uninstall...

Anyone else having trouble accessing internet video via ORB (.ram)? I can play the Orb test file okay, but everything else gives me a playback error.

Let me know. This browser is fantastic...

In the main menu in the new browser there's an option to switch engines.
Just select Opera and then close the browser and reopen it and it will then use the old Opera browser.

Anyone else found the "bug" where the keyboard won't stay open if the browser is in full-screen mode with the toolbar hidden?
Time to go search through the bugs I guess...

A little more info... Orb streaming works with the Daily Motion videos, and with the video on my hard drive, but none of the other video sites will play...

It was working a couple days ago with the old browser and nothing else has changed in my setup.

Anyone else having the same bug I'm having?
When using the Mozilla engine in the new browser and the browser is in
full-screen mode with the toolbar hidden, tapping into a text entry field on
any web page in the browser results in the keyboard popping up for a second and
then going back into hidden state.
When browser is NOT in full screen mode the keyboard shows up fine when tapping
in a test entry field.
When browser is in full screen mode AND the toolbar is NOT hidden the keyboard
works just fine and stays up when tapping in a text entry field.

If you are, please add to the bug in the link above.
