Any of you seeing funky behavior with the new build of Safari? On occasion pages are loading completely screwy for me. Misrendering, huge text, things like that. Happened with flummox.com and freaked me out. Refreshing the page didn't help, but quitting and relaunching Safari did.

Still getting the Spinning Wheel of Death now and then. Can't tell yet if this build is more or less reliable than the last. At this point it seems to be less, but we'll see with a bit more use.

Tabbed browsing is great, I've missed not having it. Noticed that center-clicking(cmd-clicking) a link will open it in a new tab behind the currrent, and center-clicking a folder in the bookmarks bar will open every contained bookmark in tabs. Handy little features, but Safari seems to choke if I cmd-click a well laden bookmarks folder and start mucking about the tab bar immediately after doing so. If I let all the pages load before doing anything, it works fine.

[Update: trashing the com.apple.Safari.plist file seems to have fixed most of the problems, at least so far.]

All in all, I'm [not as] hesitant [as I was before] about the new build.

Eh. Happen to know where I could download the previous version?

Took four tries before this comment window would open with the proper formatting. Tried deleting and reinstalling the browser just in case something went screwy with software update, but no change. Maybe ditching the preferences file will help. Anyone else having as many problems with Safari as I am?

Okay, trashed the preferences. Seems to be working MUCH better now, although I don't know if that's because I trashed the prefs file or because tabbed browsing is off. I'll dink around with it some more, at least most of the weirdness is gone.
