Sloppy isn't working with Windows 7

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start Application
2. Enter address, set desired speed
3. press go

I expect default browser to open and display "http://127.0.0.1:7569" along with the url I've typed in.

Wha I get is default browser opening to the url I've typed at my normal connection speed.

Using Sloppy 1.1.118 on a Windows 7 Home Premium box with Java 6. (Similar results have been obtained on an XP system running Java 6).

I tried the workaround mentioned in another post (start Sloppy, enter address, open browser and type http://127.0.0.1:7569 then url, but that's not working either. I love this application! Really hope there's a fix.

Thank you for the report.

I don't currently have access to Windows 7, but I've just tried XP with IE8 and didn't see a problem. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me:

What's your default web browser (and what version)? For both the XP and Windows 7 set up.

Thank you

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Here's the latest:

I rebooted my Win 7 system, then restarted Sloppy. Entered an address, and it worked just as it's supposed to!
Next, I entered a different address into Sloppy without closing the browser (something I've always been able to do without problem in XP), and it went to the original address instead.
Then I closed the browser and clicked Go in Sloppy with the different address entered I mentioned above, and everything worked just as it's supposed to.

All I can say is the fact that it works in Win7 is great! If I have to close the browser before testing a different address - no big deal to me! It would be nice to know if this is a bug or if I've just misunderstood how to use the program!

Default browser is Opera 10.54 for both machines, and both are running Java 6.

GREAT WORK! I can't tell you how much of a help Sloppy has been to me in the past - and will continue to be in the future. Thank you!!!

Thanks for the extra information -- very helpful. I've not been able to reproduce the behaviour using IE under XP, but I do see what you see with Opera 10.60 under XP.

The title on this issue is now misleading. I've created a new entry for the incorrect behaviour under opera (issue 12)
