Yes, and I suspect that this was added as a result of the Safari team pestering the Cocoa/Aqua/whatever people to get it added. Judging by Dave Hyatt's blog, he's recognized that people want better forms navigation, so a while before Panther was released he mentioned something about wanting to make pop-up menus more easily navigable (a la IE). I remember that in the comments on that blog entry quite a few people mentioned combo boxes, like you see all over the place in Watson, but he didn't seem too hot on those, so I think he must've used the weight of the Safari team to get this added to the OS. Oh, and later he publicly announced that there would be tabbing to form elements, IIRC.

I may have missed a previous post for this but You don't need to install safari inhancer to get the debug menu
1- gointo terminal
2- TYPE: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Now, if anyone knows a way to cycle through all my tabs, without the mouse, I'd appreciate that. Kind of an Alt-Tab for just Safari tabs?
cheers

It may not be that big of an issue, but when an iPod is connected to the Mac, when the computer goes to sleep, the ipod stays connected and "awake," only now it's not being charged--so you're left with a drained battery, not to mention unnecessary charge-drain cycles. Also, sometimes when the ipod is connected, it doesn't show up as a connected drive (even though I have it set as a firewire hard disk).
I HOPE they address this issue, as well as the many networking issues discussed in this thread. I know a lot of the problems come from Windows complications (windows networking isn't a savior by any means), Apple really needs to pin down these basic OS issues before moving on to the more sexy updates.
OS X is great to use and work with, but it has it's own quarks. I suppose it is a young OS, relatively speaking, but I hope the Apple developers really polish Panther before charging another buck fifty for an upgrade.

Yes, that is incredibly annoying! I also hope that in Safari they've finally made it able to save images from it's temp instead of having to redownload them in order to save them...that's a major pain in the ass when you download a lot of images and you can only get dialup because you live outside the city against your will! Anyway, does this annoy anyone else? I love everything else about Safari, especially it's ability to handle ICC profiles, etc. but for me it's pretty much unuseable because of this problem....IE always has problems when it's loading pages especially how it'll blank out if there's a lot of "space" that the pages take up, i.e. (no pun intended) macrumors forums...if it hasn't fully downloaded, scrolling the page may make some parts of it disappear....it's altogether crappy...especially how it'll freeze from time to time while going to certain sites...and the one thing I miss from windows would fix the problem (i.e. each window being a separate task and therefore you can close only the problematic window, however it doesn't always work on windows so Apple could probably rip them off and make it better, like the Alt-Tab functionality in Panther
