A topic to collect bugs to fix etc.

Since so many years little probs (and major ones) are piling up, there's so much to fix or finish or add in the GUI yet. Not only difficult stuff, also quite easy peanuts and little improvements. KM-devs focus on the engine only, when being around at all, while forum members keep posting reports and solutions, but those are shattered all across the forum and soon forgotten again
There should be at least a LIST somewhere as a reminder.

---

For stuff like this:
rodocop fixed the broken "about:downloads" page again, inside omni.ja:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?19,148309

---

But the best place for such stuff is still the old bugtracker.
Let's revive it?
It died when for awhile development and bugfixes were advancing so rapidly, and later when things had calmed down again, "KM76b4" was the last available version for reports. But we can't fix that, and as a workaround the real versions could be stated in the subject line and text. Then use comments for updates. And perhaps, some far day Dorian drops by again, reads the comments and at least updates the fields... At any rate such a tracker system helps a lot to keep overview.

Another tiny workaround I've tried, is to mark important postings with searchable pseudo-tags like _bugs_ or _check_ or _bugfix_ or _howto_ But that's more of a gimmick, overall the bugtracker is much handier.

I said mostly the same one year ago, although the situation has been changed a lot since those days. By the way, one year ago I was highly sceptical about the future of the Goanna engine development applied to KMeleon. Fortunately, @roytam1's work has been better than expected, considering that KMG is able to be merged with @rodocop's Pro version with good results (KM Hybrid). :O

"And why not to release the best enhanced KMeleon version we can get now, with all patches and all bug fixes found till today or with all updating improvements known?"

A friend of mine has noticed a possible bug in Kmeleon Goanna v20200307:
> Menu > View > Toolbars > Options
This forces Kmeleon to crash. ¬_¬
