  Construct 2 centers the game in what the browser tells it is the window size. So it appears Twitter and Facebook are giving it the wrong viewport size. I think you should report it to them?

  According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechSynthesis/getVoices, listing the voices is not supported by Safari at all. I tried refreshing the speech synthesis example 10 times, and as expected, it never listed anything. So this is just Safari not supporting it rather than a C2 bug. When you say it sometimes works, what exactly are you seeing?

  Construct 2 does not change the encoding, unless you use the "Override MIME type" action. So it seems most likely the server is sending the wrong encoding itself, which is very common, or that Firefox is doing something differently. Either way as per our bug report guidelines, if you do not provide us with a way to investigate there is nothing we can do, so closing.

  I think this is caused by a temporary workaround to a Chrome bug in r221. We're removing the workaround soon, but I must say, you should not expect any support at all for such old OS versions. iOS 5 is so old that it doesn't even register in the stats I look at, and even on slower-moving Android, only 2.5% of users are on 4.0, and Google has dropped support for it too.

  For the next build I changed the Browser plugin to reference 'org.cordova.inappbrowser' instead of 'org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser', which I gather is the problem here. Closing, please file a new issue if you still have trouble after the next release.

  Can't reproduce here. Does it still happen if you rename the project?

  I think for it to work the app needs permission to use the camera (for the camera option) and storage (for the documents option). Have you tried adding android.permission.CAMERA and android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to the app permissions?

  If you're running Android 5.0+, could you try without Crosswalk as well to see if it works with the system webview?

  The image editor primarily expects PNG. If it only has a DIBV5 bitmap, and it's less than or equal to 24 bits per pixel (which I assume indexed color is), it justs asks GDI+ to decode the bitmap, which is a Windows component. GDI+ is pretty crap so it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't understand this. MSPaint has been dragged kicking and screaming from the Windows 3.1 days when this kind of image was more common, so I guess they have their own bitmap decoder. It's also possible to copy data to the clipboard in multiple formats, so if something like GIMP copies both PNG and bitmap, C2 will paste the PNG, which works. I guess Photoshop only copies an 8-bit indexed bitmap, which Windows itself doesn't understand

  I don't see this being resolved, is arguably partly Photoshop's and Windows' fault, and it seems to have easy workarounds, so I think I'll just close this...

  Closing as can't reproduce in NW.js 0.13.0-beta5 - works the same as in preview as after export. Besides, the "Download" action normally invokes the browser download UI, and NW.js has no browser UI, so I wouldn't expect this to work in NW.js! You can always just use the NW.js object to write straight to disk.

  I believe this is how the browsers intend for speech recognition to work, rather than it being a C2 bug. If you don't speak for a while the browser stops it with a "no-speech" error. I guess you could just start speech recognition again?
