Communicator 4.04 features (sometimes called bugs)

   Open two Composer windows. Choose Edit | Preferences at one of them. Go to the other window and make some change to the edited page. At menu, the option Save doesn't change. It should be available now, when changes have been made. Shortcuts, special combinations of keys, are retained by the preferences windows too. Type some characters. Key Ctrl-Z (Undo option). Nothing happens; characters should be disappear.

    Go to the preferences window and close it. Save is automatically enabled. Ctrl-Z is working again.
 
    This happens with every message or selection window that Communicator pops up and waits a response: p.e. a unable to locate server message.

Visited link don't change colors

    Sometimes a click on a link doesn't change its color to visited link color. It happens more often at frames pages or resizing windows. It doesn't happen if you go to

            Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Colors

    and uncheck Underline links

    Example: Test color

Copying multiple items at bookmarks
 

• Go to the bookmark editor. Create a folder called "test" (no quotes).  Select three or four bookmarks, not folders. Click the first, hold the shift key, click the last in the list. There are options in the right mouse (context) menu for standard editing functions, cut, copy, paste.  Select copy .  Now click the test folder you created.  Select paste from the right menu. Only one gets copied.

Now delete it from the test folder.  With the test folder still open, press shift insert (windows paste).  Nothing.

Go back and select the same three or four bookmarks.  Now press ctrl-c (windows copy) .  Select the test folder again.  Now choose paste from the right mouse button. All the bookmarks I selected are pasted.

• Using the ctrl click multiselect, when I attempt to drag to the new folder, I get the "plus sign"  mouse cursor, which is an indication of a copy operation, however the files are _moved_.  If I use the shift key approach, the files are still moved although the mouse cursor is at least correct.  However if I select Edit->Undo, nothing happens.  If I select it again, _then_ it cancels the move.  It still won't work properly with the right mouse menu.  Holding down the ctrl or shift key makes no difference.
• Using the right click, it only selects whatever you right clicked on for the operation, even though it leave the others highlighted.

    At certain pages the size of cache grows. While surfing, if you go back to the same page just visited, files are added to the cache. Example 1
    Working with pages at hard disk, sometimes the Back button doesn't bring the previous page. Example 2
    Sometimes, after some circunstances, the cache files are cleared before reach the cache size limit: Feature 1
