Re: strange things happening with Maxthon 5

  I hadn't played with Maxthon 5 in weeks. But I kept getting the update available for Maxthon so I decided to update it and play around with it to test it. The first thing I noticed is that Flash had updated to 23.0.0.185 all the rest of my browsers are still running 23.0.0.162. But the strange thing was every 2 or 3 right clicks when in reverse mode with the flash menu open restarted my browser. What is even stranger is that when the browser restarted it had switched from retro core to ultra core. I would then have to switch my browser  core back to retro which restarted the browser again. I had about 6 or so of these restarts that switched browser cores. So it took almost 1/2 hour longer to play 9 holes than normal.

  Hi borntobesting!

  I had similar problems with a previous update. Things appear or dissappear without reason, and with no explanation. The right click thing drove me nuts untill I found the "settings"  hidden away...

  

   

  as to the ultra/retro thing, make sure the buttons not showing. I found I hit it several times , without knowing, in the middle of a game. Make sure that option's not marked.

   

  

  That's about it from me, out of ideas, apart from have a good look through the settings. I found new things had popped up there as if by magic.

  Good luck, Cheers!
