WebKit seems to be getting so powerful that it is a shame that some of its technologies don't make it into OS X itself. There is a debate going on inside Apple about a resolution independent GUI. Instead of reinventing the wheel -- and forcing programmers to learn yet another proprietary API -- why doesn't Apple just use the ever-powerful, standards-compliant, time-tested SVG instead?

I had PicLens installed (in /Library/Input Managers). Trashing PicLens solved the issue.

My suggestion would be to ensure you have no Safari extensions installed, and double-check that the Safari version matches the WebKit version.. @b.rvt: This isn’t really the right place to get support for Safari.

While it may have run, it has only been designed to support XP/Vista to my knowledge. Sorry ;) @RichB:

Previous betas worked fine. I'm not sure whether it's the 64bit-ness or the Win2K3-ness that's causing the problem. The latest Safari3/Windows hangs on Win2K3/64bit. Previous betas worked fine.

For me Safari is just a browser that I open every now and then to see if my pages work. But as long as there is no firebug equivalent for Safari, I am not going to use it as my main browser. I absolutely need Firebug for my work and what you guys have come up with so far doesn't even come close to be useful to me. And I know a lot of people who think about it the same. So if you ask me, if you really want to gain momentum in the browser world.. stop developing new css3 features and focus on these development tools. Just my 2 cents :) I agree completely with lookfirst. For me Safari is just a browser that I open every now and then to see if my pages work.
