The new version of NetSurf doesn't work for me.
I have set it to appear in its own screen and this works with version 1.3. In this one, it opens a black window in the WorkBench screen, the navigation bar appears very messed up after a couple of second and then it crashes.

Are you using the same settings that you were using for 1.3?

 Yes.

I did clean install of 1.4 (ie haven't tweaked the settings at all) and 1.4 runs fine.

 I can't test this right now. I will ASAP and see what will happen.

Ok. I decompressed the archive and ran NetSurf without touching anything. It works.
Either the options of 1.3 version are not compatible with the new version or version 1.4 doesn't like some of my settings.

 Update: I did a little research on the problem. I think there is a bug in the new version and it is triggered by the fullscreen setting!
 When it is set to 0, everything works ok. When it is set to 1, NetSurf insists to open in a window at the WorkBench screen. All graphics inside the window appear very messed up and when i quit, i get the message "free: start of block corrupt!" from ixemul. Changing the fb_depth doesn't help.
 None of this occurs in version 1.3.
