Right, I've suffered long enough. Time to hate.
I hate the Galeon that's in debian unstable. No idea if this is true of
all Galeons. No idea if it's just my machine or not. Though oddly,
Camino stable (0.7) does exactly the same thing on my mac. Make of that
what you will.
This doesn't make me hate it any less.
Quite simply, it doesn't work. Every so often it just won't submit forms.
It won't work on IMDB. It won't work on pasty. It won't work on RT.
I just get the same page back. As if I haven't submitted anything.
Blech helped me work out that it's doing something odd with content
lengths. (I initially blamed his code on pasty, but it's not that.)
Understanding this doesn't make me hate it any less either.
It's been like this for a month. And it doesn't seem to be getting any
better. And annoyingly it's _just_ shy of being so bad I need to switch
browsers. So I use it, forget about it, and then all of a sudden I find
another site that's not working and I have to go find a computer with a
working browser.
I don't even think this is anyone's fault.
GAH.
