it would not surprise me if the delete signal comes from the watchdog process, or something similar, that thanks to a overworked cpu or something to not get the message that the button is released in time, and so deletes the window in question, thinking its process have hung.

Unresponsive applications make the device display a dialog asking if the faulty window should be killed and not kill any application without asking (it would be very bad user experience)

btw, I couldn't couldn't reproduce my problem with a clean Diablo install, so it's probably my device fault. I'll stick with my ugly workaround.

well, the long press is user initiated, or at least should normally be, so there is no need for a dialog.

bah, never mind. i should have checked the manual for the long press.

its basically there to close the window, without having to go via the menu or the corner X...

Tear's acting very odd. It's deleting my cookies on exit, and I haven't touched the option, which stays on false, even if I try settings it to true. It's no problem, I can easily restore to my backup of last week, but I thought you should be aware.

I like Tear a lot.
I play Warden Online (a free, browser based MMORPG) and it runs probably 50%+ faster in Tear .. which means more time for leveling and for monster killing

Have tried to install Tear every way on a n800 to no avail. I had no problem with my n810 using Qote's repository. Can someone please help.

If i am replying in a text entry field as i am doing now and i walk away setting the N810 down and then come back and pick it up the odds of me accidentally touching a link on the edge of the screen are pretty high (say 50%) which sends me somewhere else and erases everything i just spent time typing in, similar to what just happened 10 minutes ago; I used the dpad moving left within the text entry field and the whole tablet crashed. This is the second time i've written this reply. I'm just saying maybe there is a user adjustable setting that says, "don't accept single touch link launches until submit button has been touched."

Your request seems like an extreme longshot to me. OTOH, your problem would be solved by something else previously requested: swapping the responses you get from a short press and a long press on a link. (I would like that change myself, as I find it hard to coordinate a long press on a link for "Open in new window." If I wanted the regular link response, I could still use the short-press-context-menu, but just select plain "Open.")

Or your problem would be solved if tear had a toggle for turning off link responses altogether (which would also help with the problem of accidentally activating links while scrolling).

One of my least favorite things about my tablet is how the tap that I give to my screen to wake it up also activates whatever button or link or menu that unfortunately happens to be under that finger tap. But this is a problem with the tablet, not any particular app....

How are you trying to install it and what error messages are you getting?
