The problem doesn't seem to occur on everyone's installation (one of my boxes is fine, and Marcus's box is fine), but myself and another guy in #galeon (GIMPnet IRC) are having the exact same problem. Essentially, when you fill out a form and submit, the data isn't processed correctly. The processing script ends up with no data at all. I've reproduced this problem on both POST and GET forms, so it's not specifically related to method. Two websites that are known to cause problems for both of us are: http://boston.craigslist.org/nfa/ http://www.freebsdforums.com/forums/search.php Anyhow, we're both researching the problem now, and will discuss it with the Galeon team tomorrow morning. We both suspect it's a Javascript error, but we haven't proven anything definitively yet.=20 For now, I'd recommend perhaps holding off on upgrading. If we can prove this is a problem specifically in Galeon 1.3.8, a fixed version should follow quickly. If you DID upgrade to 1.3.8 and find yourself having this problem, you might have to remove ~/.galeon and downgrade back to 1.3.7. Going back to 1.3.7 without removing the settings didn't fix the problem for me. Once I removed the settings, all was fine again (well, as fine as it was before I started messing with 1.3.8). If you need further help with this, swing by #freebsd-gnome on FreeNode IRC.=20 --=20 Adam McLaurin --=-c58qyC7qdNY+s9kIWUB+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/YTGBt+DSc2Q4lGYRAvDwAJ9vRKW4MSqMgUvbcpDRoDFGz+cjuwCgqPhk yv/8Quq/XXHZRPTeSADW4wU= =RV4b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-c58qyC7qdNY+s9kIWUB+--
