    Nah, i just read the message that it work only in right border...

    But i would really like to have scrolling area in the left border too... i am left handed and i have mostly used left border for scrolling.

    ok, i'll add options to select side and so on. i just need to keep compromise between size of scrolling area(s) and space left for eg. text selection on page

    What about having ability to switch finger scroll completely off ? Like in MidBrowser.. scroll works with whole screen or nowhere. Just throwing ideas

    For your information, scrolling, albeit with choppyness, has been working here with latest version.

    I also agree that there needs to ba a way to jump up and down a long page easily.

    I don't know if it is possible, but could a new menu entry be added to browser-ui? Like:

    Windows->
    Webpage->
    Edit->
    View->
    Navigation->
    Tools->
    Close->
    Webkit-> Start Webkit
    ......................Settings
    ......................About

    Where Start Webkit shuts down MicroB and loads Webkit and Settings let's you choose handedness, whether to use finger scrolling or traditional stylus scrolling, enable/disable certain things etc. and About, is well About

    Also, any chance of smooth kinetic scrolling? I'm probably dreaming...

    Just some brainstorming.

    One thing that annoys me about Microb is that when fingerscrolling I sometimes hit a button or link by accident (especially annoying since the other way of scrolling, with the dpad is broken too because it gets 'stuck') . Since I scroll more than I click on links I think it would be great if links and buttons would be activated only when double tapped or when some hardware key is pressed simultaneously. I don't know if this can be done at the rendering engine - level or that it is a Microb issue.

    supergadgetman, go to red pill mode, select to show all packages and from available packages install system software UNLOCKED package. found it? this will fix dependency errors.

    allnameswereout, and when moving finger from left to right? didn't you install any software for screen rotation or is there something else unusual with your system?
    Nothing of that kind.

    I think instead of scrolling it tries to select text.

    Going to http://www.wikipedia.org scrolling works. Although sometimes it selects text instead.

    Going to http://maps.google.com doesn't work. OS2008 website does not work either. Neither does Google Calendar.

    bumped into a couple of bugs so far:

    1. the page will jump to the bottom if one tries to scroll down right after page load. but one can counteract by using dpad or scroll upwards first.

    2. webkit cant make the wifi autoconnect. and will sit there spinning even if the connection is then manually activated.

    I just realized a couple hours ago that you can scroll normally by using the dpad. I really find this to be one of the BIGGEST improvements over microb. Using dpad to go to different links always annoyed me and was never really useful.

    I've also ran into the page jump bug. It's not a HUGE deal, just a little annoying.

    Another thing I ran into: I had three windows open, and the browser slowed down, and eventually crashed. The three pages were: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...724#post253724 , http://www.semsons.com/amabg108blgp.html , and http://www.retailmenot.com/view/semsons.com Overally, retailmenot.com seemed to kill the browser, but I haven't done testing to see if this was just webkit, or the tablet not having enough processing power in general.

    iirc, diablo (or one of the SSUs) removed the "jump to link" in microb for dpad scrolling...

    allnameswereout, now I understand why it doesn't work for you. If it selects text instead of scrolling then maybe you starting outside of scroll region. On OS2008 website it doesn't work because there's flash occupying all page width and I can't intercept click/move events there. Use dpad. maps.google.com adapt to your screen size, there's simply nothing to scroll. And finally google calendar.. hm.. it works for me. are you sure it doesn't?

    tso, thank you, will fix.

    TrueJournals, really? I was sad that can't make dpad work as in microb. I also think that dpad for scrolling is better, now I won't even try. Yes, there may be problems with stability when many pages opened, webkit now eats quite much memory. I'll try to optimize it when other problems fixed.

    Btw, tso, TrueJournals, do you have problems with finger scrolling? password fields work ok?
