The old safari had a bug (that I didn’t see anyone going on about) where it would truncate text submitted in text areas. I’d guess it’s related to the resizing text areas feature. It seems to be gone in 3.0.1.
There are some bugs in Safari that make no sense at all unless nobody at Apple bothered to use the software before releasing it.
Open a new page (say, google.com) and notice how the keyboard focus is incorrectly indicated. The text field on google’s page is visibly indicated yet the keyboard focus appears to be on nothing. Perhaps you need to have google as your homepage to reproduce the problem… then again, posting to my blog I clicked the bookmark bar, clicked a link on the page and the next page that loaded (with a text control in a frame) did the invalid focus thing. HCI 101 says you DO NOT indicate input focus unless you’re going to deliver events to the indicated widget.
Hang on… I see what’s happening. When you open a new window by opening the Safari shortcut again the new window does not get focus. Similar to my blog’s iframe. In both cases Safari has not detected this lack of focus and has drawn the focus indicator.
Another one… the bug report window has no horizontal scroll bar yet it doesn’t wrap text. Again, HCI 101 says you wrap text or provide a scrollbar. How can Apple’s text area widgets not follow this behaviour?
