Wikipedia page feezing?

Caribou007 · 11-05-2014, 02:57 AM

Last night a few wikipedia pages I visited froze my Kobo Glo, forcing me to reset it. I thought maybe it was due to some special, mathematical characters on the page.

Would someone please visit the Wikipedia page for John von Neumann to see if the problem can be replicated on another Kobo Glo? This will have to be reported to Kobo so it can be patched.

Thank you very much.

(The backlight was on, 1%. It was running an older firmware - the one where backlight control by touching the left side of the screen was added. However, I just replicated the problem using the latest firmware, 3.11).

The browser crashes on this page for me too (Glo, 3.11.0.)

Okay. So it's confirmed a bug with the web browser.

Thanks!

I already reported this with Kobo and was told the developers would be informed.
