I think I have found a bug in the behavior of the 'G' command (Go to the
last line) when reading an HTML stream from stdin, i.e., a pipe. In
this situation, typing 'G' does not cause w3m to go to the last line of
the file, but apparently only to the last line it has read so far. So
when reading a long file from stdin, typing 'G' causes w3m to page down
through the file, but not actually reach the last line until the entire
file has been read and the stream closed. From then on, 'G' works as
expected.
Maybe it is supposed to work this way, but I think it would be nicer if
it behaved as 'less' does and actually go to the last line of the file,
even if the user has to wait a little bit for that last line to be read.
I am using w3m-0.1.9.
By the way, I don't mean to complain about w3m. I use it a lot and
sometimes I find these little problems. I just want to see it become
even better than it already is.
