Unresolved bug in PR2.

[Gene W Homicki]

Hi everyone,


	I'm running OmniWeb 1.0PR2 on a NS-3.1/m68k and am having
problems in two areas:  default text for <TEXTAREA> containers and there
seems to be a memory leak in OW1.0PR1 and PR2.  I'd like to determine if
they are general bugs with OmniWeb, or if it is a problem related to my
old version of NeXTSTEP,

*** Problem #1a:

If I have the following HTML:
------------------------------------------------------------
<textarea name="text2" ROWS=10 COLS=60>
The 1's should line up:
This is a test:   1
                  1    This is a test.
     More testing 1    la la la
</TEXTAREA>
------------------------------------------------------------

OmniWeb renders this as:
------------------------------------------------------------
The 1's should line up:
This is a test: 1
1 This is a test.
More testing 1 la la la
------------------------------------------------------------

Instead of as:
------------------------------------------------------------
The 1's should line up:
This is a test: 1
                1 This is a test.
   More testing 1 la la la
------------------------------------------------------------

	Those leading spaces should _not_ be stripped, and aren't in any of
	the other browsers I use.  I don't think there is anything about this
	specifically in the DTD, but even if I enclose the <TEXTAREA> within a
	<PRE> container I note the same behavior.


*** Problem #1b

If I have the following HTML:
------------------------------------------------------------
<textarea name="text1" ROWS=10 COLS=60>
<STRONG>THIS IS A TEST</STRONG>
<UL>
  <LI>List item 1
  <LI>List Item 2
</UL>       
</TEXTAREA>
------------------------------------------------------------

OmniWeb renders this as:
------------------------------------------------------------
{\b THIS IS A TEST}           

7 \pard\fi-400\li1000\ri600\sl20\ql List item 1

7 List Item 2

------------------------------------------------------------
(where the 7's are bullets) (Looks like RTF code to me?)


Instead of
------------------------------------------------------------
<STRONG>THIS IS A TEST</STRONG>
<UL>
  <LI>List item 1
  <LI>List Item 2
</UL>
------------------------------------------------------------


The reason I'm giving the <TEXTAREA> containers this type of default
text is because we are crteating an "HTMLBuild(tm)  type of app that
allows you to create home pages using only a Web browser (with or
without a knowledge of HTML).  


*** Problem #2

The other problem that I'm having is that OmniWeb 1.0 (PR1 & PR2) seems
to have a huge memory leak.  After a few hours of use the VSIZE and
RSIZE as reported by ps -aux are HUGE.  70 and 20+Meg respectively.
This may have something to do with the reson for the new version of
OmniImageFilter that is (coming) out?  I'll upgrade to that ASAP and see
if that helps. 

I have a test setup at:

So if anyone has a moment and doesn't mind taking a look at it, clicking
a few checkboxes and hitting the submit button, I'd really appreciate
it! 

Aside from the problem above, I think OmniWeb is _great_.  And it
doesn't have <BLINK> which is another plus! :-)  Thanks in advance, and
my apologies for being long winded here.
