Subject: seems to discard keystrokes while loading a page on startup

Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 20:45:48 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-4
Severity: normal

If w3m is being a little slow to load a page (due to say, being behind
dialup, though a very large page should work as well), and I type ahead,
it seems to lose some but not all characters I type. Looks like the
first two are ignored and others have effect.

For example, if I type "/q" while starting, w3m loads the page and then
quits. The "/" was not seen so it didn't enter search mode. Very
disconcerting.

Same happens if I type "//q". OTOH, if I type "///q", it comes up with
the page loaded and "Forward: q" displayed at the bottom.

it might be, that w3m displays messages about cookies or
ssl-certificates. These will be displayed for a certain amount of time,
unless any key is pressed, so that it seems as if the first keys are
ignored because you will not see the messages anymore.

No, this happens when viewing html web sites that do not set cookies, such
as bugs.debian.org.
