Mosaic Known Bugs

Note: This page only lists bugs. Missing features are probably listed in the to-do page. Note: This page is not terribly up to date. We'll try to track bugs better in the future.

Bugs we still have to work on

12 Jun 94 Menu Multi-select may not work right... try "Delay image loads" and "load to local disk". MUI problem?
22 Jan 94 For some reason Mosaic appears as a commodity. If you are adventurous enough to tell it to close its interface (hide) it crashes. (mjw){mf?}
URLs with a space in them get truncated at the space. (mwm) (n.b. URLs aren't allowed to have spaces in them according to the RFC - Michael)
Put small space after italic text if it is followed by non-italic text. [Steve] {mf}
13 Jan 1994 V1.1release Crash opportunity during global history save to full disk. Make sure that write failure is correctly handled in this case. [Aaron] {mf}
Support for screen modes without using MUI screenmode requester (?) [Aaron] {mf}
Ocasionally get text instead of pictures (may be a server side mime type error) [Aaron] {mjw}
Some type of unsupported animation - maybe mpegs - I have to add mpeg play to external players, and put it in the support dir. [Aaron] {mjw}
Doesn't support forms [Aaron and others] {mdf}

Non IFF audio files weren't working. This was due to change to mime. They are fixed now (e.g. http://www.mtv.com/qotd (what banal quotes)) actually some of them still don't work. Perhaps amisox is unreliable? - fix by getting new rexx: archive. {mjw}
Enforcer hits when fetching from ftp: URLs {mjw}
attempts to execute /bin/rm on interrupted transfers. Now uses delete :-) {mjw}
