aaaAAAAAAaaaah. thank you very much. odd that home isn't set up by default. maybe they'll swap the "bug" for the "house" when they come out of beta.

The restart also took a very long time.

Subjectively, performance has improved noticeably. I often have several tabs open. Under previous versions if one tab was loading images or whatever I'd just get the SPOD and be unable to switch tabs. Now I can open a page with lots of images in a tab and switch to other tabs without getting the SPOD.

I read another forum which allows you to add to a poster's "reputation". When doing this a dialog box pops up where you can type in a comment. If you do this on a page and try to close that tab Safari now pops up the following warning:

"You have entered text on '[title of web page]'. If you close the tab, your changes will be lost. Do you want to close the tab anyway?"

I can't see where to turn this feature "off". Maybe in a future release.
The long delay at the beginning of the installation was for backing up your existing Safari, WebKit, and friends for the uninstaller to use.

The "you have entered text on X" warning will appear if the page submits the text without refreshing the whole page. So "Quick Reply" will cause it, but a "regular" reply probably won't.

I installed 3.0b yesterday and after a few launches of the application it is behaving smoothly for me. The initial launch had some issues with wanting to freeze, but after quitting and reopening Safari 3 times it went away.

The "Do you want to close the tab anyway" dialog box is getting a little old, though.

Yes. The preferences section needs a "Skip annoying warnings" check box. :cool:

Is anyone else out there having problems with strange text rendering in safari 3. It's not on every site, but for example.. all the text on youtube is sort of broken up.

HazyJMac 06-12-2007 07:58 PM
Sorry about that. Solved my own problem.. Looks like it was a duplicate font issue.

paragonconcept 06-12-2007 09:32 PM
any info on running Safari 3 side by side with Safari 2? There's no way im going to install S3B on my only box / mission critical lappy-486 aka macbook pro

Seems like the address bar auto-complete has changed the way it works.

It appears as though it defaults to providing the top level domain only - even if it has not been specifically bookmarked or visited in the history.

Example:
www.example.com/one/two/index.html is bookmarked and www.example.com is not in the history or bookmarks.

Typing "examp..." provides www.example.com rather than www.example.com/one/two/index.html

This is definitely different behavior than Safari 2.x

Interesting, but I had no such delay when installing on a PowerBook that has no external drive.

Right you are. It would sure be nice to be able to turn the warning off....

So far:

Pros: I really like the new search feature, and the auto spell correct feature.

Cons: On Blooger.com Safari will not allow me to upload images.

synecdoche 06-13-2007 06:04 PM
I'm having two issues:
1. The aforementioned irritating warning.

and, more worrying,

2. It seems as though links that are supposed to open in new windows just don't do anything.

Is anybody else having the latter issue?

I actually think this feature is somewhat useful. I sometimes accidentally close a tab when I am typing in this very forum, then have to retype everything over again.

Here's something that isn't useful, and I think it was in Safari 2.0 as well: Command clicking on a folder in the bookmarks bar opens all the sites in that folder if tabbed browsing is on! I sometimes hit the command key a little early to open a bookmark in a new tab, and it's no fun having Safari try to open 48 tabs at once.

S'funny how people see things differently because of a quarter of a second's difference in a finger movement. I was just thinking how great that technique is for opening up all my 'usual suspects' I like to read in the morning! But that's because I haven't hit the command key too early yet... There are plenty of examples where I do the same. The eject key delay comes to mind - haven't accidentally hit it enough times to be thankful for the introduced delay in 10.4.9

any reference to "Turn off(/on) Site Specific Hacks"
 
in the debug menu.....

This may not be quite the place for this but...

Has anyone (web designer/developer?) noticed safari 3 rendering margins/padding incorrectly? I've built a form that with floats and margins etc and it is just not lining up correctly in Safari 3 (Mac or PC). I looks fine in FF and IE7 - of course ie6 is completely wrong...

Also, until the Safari PC update today, I was completely unable to use safari. No text showed up ever either on a page or in the menu system so I couldn't even report the issue.

I haven't noticed any strong issues in general. To my view of pages I frequent it looks nicer than FF. But there is "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.... as long as the page is public viewable....

To get rid of the annoying "are you sure you want to close this tab" warning you can type this at the terminal:

Code:
/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugConfirmTossingUnsubmittedFormText -boolean No
Maybe this hidden option (DebugConfirmTossingUnsubmittedFormText) will make it into the Safari 3 preferences at some point.

Thanks! That little message was driving me crazy.
