When is Safari going to pick up the tools that have been making their way into WebKit (Drosera, the new Web Inspector, etc.)?
June 22nd, 2007 at 4:06 pm
What’s up with the different Mac OS X Safari 3 interface vs the Windows version of Safari? I have been fervently waiting to post some screen prints on my Flickr account showing that Mac and Windows now have the same Apple Safari browser available, but visually, they sure don’t look alike. Brushed metal doesn’t mesh with such a claim !!!
Why isn’t Safari 3’s UI being updated on Mac OS X????????
June 22nd, 2007 at 5:10 pm
MacSmiley, Safari 3 for Tiger is going to maintain the brushed metal since that is the default for textured windows on Tiger.

@faisal
Safari 3 Beta includes support for Drosera but not the application itself. Instructions on using Drosera with Safari 3 is available on the wiki page - http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/Drosera. As for the updated web inspector, anybody that knows when it would be available in a beta/shipping release can’t say.
@MacSmiley
As you can see from the various screenshots on Apple.com, the updated UI will be available on OS X 10.5 Leopard.

MacSmiley, on Leopard, Safari 3 looks as the Windows one does.

Applause.

Then why does Apple display the new UI in Tiger??
Here is the PNG

from the Safari 3 Beta download page
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
or do my eyes deceive me??
Since 3rd party apps can easily change Safari’s appearance, certainly it’s not beyond Apple’s ability to do so!!
Apple, by now, has the new graphics files for the UI. Since the graphics files are in the Safari app package, all Apple need do is make the appropriate substitutions. Isn’t that true, David??

It’s off-topic, but why does this weblog have two independent RSS feeds? I used to subscribe to http://webkit.opendarwin.org/blog/?feed=rss2, but this month it ceased to be updated. Instead, all updates seem to be going through http://webkit.org/blog/feed/atom/.
June 22nd, 2007 at 8:40 pm
feed://webkit.org/blog/?feed=rss2 will get you the correct RSS2 feed (the redirect from the old opendarwin site is broken).

@Matt L (and others): I have Drosera with a 2 day old WebKit nightly and it isn’t attaching to Safari.
I guess I should restate my initial post as “I hope the final version of Safari 3 will support Drosera and the new Web Inspector (the one in the current WebKit nightlies). I also hope you’ll put it out in betas before the final version so we can pound on it a bit more.”
June 22nd, 2007 at 9:48 pm
Excellent, Any chance you could bundle the fix for 11768 into the next beta which fixes the clipping problems with flash video in Google Reader? This is about the only reason I am using the nightlies vs 3.0.2 beta right now.
Thanks for the great product!
June 22nd, 2007 at 9:58 pm
The Flash fix on Mac is still baking. I don’t think it’s quite ready for general consumption. Note that Safari on Windows should already clip properly. (The clipping issues with Flash exist only in the Mac beta.)
June 22nd, 2007 at 11:23 pm
Why does this update require a reboot? Is there a way to prevent that for future updates?
June 23rd, 2007 at 12:53 am
For the Windows version,
All the described problems for Safari 3.0, / 3.0.1 also happened in “English” version of Windows.
These problems occur when English Windows have set the default locale to non-English

There is one very annoying error. I get a “slow script” dialogue box on sportsline.com … it happens when I’m viewing their “game center” pages during a baseball game. It also happens on the live scoring page at my fantasy baseball league there.
If I don’t stop the script, Safari threatens to become unresponsive.
This has happened on 3.0.2 on XP SP2 as well as my Mac PPC copy.
If it’s java-releated, I have version 1.6……

I cannot resize frames. Is this a known problem?

Mac keyboard bindings BUG:
Safari 3 on the Mac takes the cmd-up for a home key and brings the insertion point to the beginning of a text field. Similarly cmd-down goes to the end of a text field.
This is just wrong behavior. On my MacBook Pro, the fn-left and fn-right key combinations are meant to stand in for the home and end keys.
It is a pitty that WebKit swallows those keyboard shortcuts. I used to have them bound to the previous/next tab menu items in Safari.
June 24th, 2007 at 5:27 pm
cmd-up and cmd-down are standard mac keybindings. They work in TextEdit too.

There is ANOTHER bug in Safari 3 Beta!
The selection indicator ring that appears around the selected text-input field’s are sometimes missing in Safari 3 Beta making it difficult to spot visually which field is selected.
View Example here:

Yet ANOTHER BUG!!!
Text selection within the Safari window (other than the address bar and Google search bar), does NOT honor the customized selection color by the user in System Preferences.
Please fix Apple.

@edinhsdsu, why are you getting irate about bugs? Surely you aware you are using beta software? That’s the whole point of a public beta, to help find bugs and iron them out. Yes it’s annoying but “Apple sort it out” kind of comments are a bit uncalled for. It’s a beta and they will fix bugs as you report them!

Form elements swallowing keyboard shortcuts is killing me!
July 3rd, 2007 at 1:30 pm
There’s a bug in Safari 3.0.2 when i try to send special characters (like á, é, í, ó, ú, etc) in any textfield … when i press send or submit the text is deleted after the first special character.

Something I really, really miss from FireFox is the ability to use Bookmark Folders in the toolbar exactly the same as a menu bar. That means that you can use one click to get into the toolbar menus and then roll around through all your different folders and sub-folders. Currently, Safari insists on a new click to get to every different folder menu.
Also, I’d love to see middle-click in a folder menu from the toolbar spawn a new tab. It works right for single bookmark items, but it breaks when you try it from a folder menu.
I submitted both as Feature Requests, but figured I throw them on here in case other people want to request it too…

Strangely, while Safari 3 beta works fine on both my systems (PPC and Intel), the webkit nightlies crash every time upon startup. The only thing I can think of is that I have an updated version of SQLite installed on both systems. Not sure why one browser would crash and not the other though.

Why does noone mention the inconstant form widgets, do I need to fill in a Radar bug or is this problem already known?
Just in case you don’t some form widgets are Aqua, some aren’t. This is not random, so in some contexts form widgets are not show as Aqua buttons.
Example (Aqua):
http://ebay.com
Search and select form widgets are normal.
Example (non-Aqua):
http://centerstageproject.com/forum/misc.php?action=search
Search and 2 select form widgets are non-aqua.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:30 am
@Mr Zippy: That is by design. Websites a free to style form elements as they wish. When certain types of styling are used it becomes difficult to apply them to the aqua themed widgets, so the engine falls back to a simpler theme which the sites styles are then applied to. See http://webkit.org/blog/17/the-new-form-controls-checkbox-2/ for more information.
July 25th, 2007 at 10:38 am
Thanks for the info, I am assuming the sites that I see that look odd are actually applying some sort of styling to the form widgets the was previously ignored by Safari therefore the new format is closer to what the webmaster specified.
Thanks.
