This way you can track progress on your issue and everyone can see the bug report and fix it. It sounds like you have steps to reproduce, so it should be easy to file a good bug report. Once you have that, you can encourage people to work on it. Blog comments are generally not a good way to report bugs. We don't put them into any kind of tracking system so they can esaily get lost.

The first pass through all the levels, alignment of the sub-menus vis a vis the parent, is perfect. That is, it is offset both vertically and horizontally. The second pass through the levels, results in the sub-menus at the third level being misaligned relative to their parents. On page 2 (aligngood.htm) the alignment remains perfect. Embedded in that page are the CSS fixes, so just view source and look for the commented rules. This anomaly did not occur when we developed and tested this product. Testing was done on Jaguar and early versions of Panther. Jaguar is still perfect, while Panther Safari has been updated somewhere along the line with a change that causes this problem. We have no idea what Tiger versions are doing. Do you have a reason for this anomaly (all other browsers are fine and have been all along)?

Dave Hyatt, Apple’s Safari chief, fixed the bug the same day we reported it. Updated versions of Safari 1.3/2, free of said bug, will become available very soon." Is there a method we can use to report DOM issues that are causing the behavior of our products to change from one Safari version and OS to another? And to get souch good response time? We'd like to play by the rules but are confused as to how bugs and issues are both reported and prioritized.
