Well, the pointer problem sorted itself out when I actually installed the code, as I think I mentioned. Certainly selecting text leads to unusual results though. I find that selecting text means that the selected text is not visible, the whole region gets coloured in one colour, so the text itself cannot be seen. I would think this is pretty important, but I don't know how its importance compares with other things on your list :-) > > > I have found a couple of minor bugs in the graphical side of things, > > when using large fonts and light on dark colours.

I think another way would be to change "Address" to "URL" (not sure if that should be URI, actually, but more people are familiar with the term URL I think). This may work better for the larger fonts, as it is a shorter string. Fortunately, the text is above the boxes in the configuration window, so this doesn't apply there. > For the tooltip background color, I'll see if it's more controllable.
