Safari 1.0

Tabbed window problem

I would really love Safari if it weren't for this problem.
When I open a new tab from a link (control-click), the new tab has ENORMOUS fonts, so huge that it is impossible to read the page.
After clearing the cache and reloading the page 3 or 4 times makes it right.
This is very annoying, I'm sticking to Mozilla.
 
I'm still having problems with a lot of java on some sites. So far I really haven't noticed a difference between the beta version and 1.0.

Camino is definitely staying in my dock.
 
still having problems

some things seem better, but most seems the same or worse even... I cannot totally rid of IE yet either...
 
.htaccess

Too bad htaccess is still all screwed up even worse then before i still have to use Camino... pfffffffttttt .. come on apple all of us here want to switch but we can't....

The fonts are now more similar in size to those in other browsers. :)

Yeah, at first I was wondering why the font on macrumors looked bigger, but then I thought it was probably the new safari. i c. :)
 
Not worthy of a 1.0 release?

The 1.0 version of Safari still contains a bug that has no business being in a 'gold' Apple release. A page on Apple's own site renders nonsense text!

The guilty culprit: the Shake user story about WETA Digital's work on LotR. Below is a screenshot of the distorted text.

The nonsense text also appears in some installation preables (EULAs, etc) as well as in some files in the Help Viewer. The Help files for my Lexmark printer and Epson scanner are completely useless! :mad:

Maybe it's not Safari, after all. If anyone knows how to correct the problem, please pass it on.
 
Final Release missing items....

I just wonder why Safari does not allow one to have the option of NOT underling a web page's hyperlinks!!!

The browser is great, but if Apple would just add this little feature!

No Safari version yet has been able to run animation on Weather.com. Safari is the only browser I have that can not perform this task.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The first time I used the latest release of Safari it crashed my whole system. Has any one else had that experience?

I'd say it's most definitely the fault of the JS client sniffing going on on their pages. I had to do some seriously finagling to get the W3C HTML validation to even look at their code.

Safari handles valid HTML and JS just fine. People need to stop blaming the browsers when sites don't work.

Weather.com doesn't work for me either. Safar hasn't crashed on me I think ever. Just a side note if you want accurate weather use www.Accuweather.com or www.wunderground.com . The weather channel is terrible. If you want your weather from the horses mouth though use NOAA they're the main distributors of the information that everyone else reinterprets. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/
 
I love Apple, but Safari sucks.

Inline frames still don't show up properly, animated gifs don't display properly... I mean, come on.. how ****ing hard is that?

Point us to some examples to see what you're talking about.

PS. Frames are the Devil.
 
Yes yes yes!

They fixed my number one problem with every version upto v80:

If you clicked a link to open in a new tab while a page was loading, the page would stop loading. It's gone! I can whiz around the internet like a chimp on speed again!

:D Happy AppleMatt :D

For people noticing the font 'problem', this was done on purpose to bring Safari in line with standards. We discussed this on the v80 thread, then realised how silly it was to install v80 on Jaguar :roll:, I posted the standard v74 font sizes and styles:

- Standard Font: Lucida Grande 14
- Fixed-width Font: Courier 14

However if I were you I'd leave it, you soon don't notice it and it makes Safari more 'compliant' (don't tear that apart I know its a poor use of the word)

People who didn't install v80 will probably notice the 'missing image' icon aswell as a few other improvements.

fonts.

Hell Yeah! The new Safari Font system blows! I don't know if anybody here besides me uses www.friendster.com at all, but I, and most of my friends do. This site uses a standard font... before, Safari was cool with the fonts on this site, now, all of a sudden, half the fonts are 16 and the rest are 9 and blurred together. the only way to change this is to magnify the page, which makes using the website so much more difficult to use. I miss the old version of Safari.
 
Prefs didn't work for me in the beta... They work 100% now! Is it me, or is Apple working their *sses off this year? Just a thought!

v85 created a problem with Java on my fantasysports.yahoo.com "stat tracker" program. I downloaded the "developer version of java 1.4.1" from the apple developer website and it solved the problem.

Try that out and see if it helps. I love safari again, now.
 
I think it's Times

I went through the entire list of Text Encodings, and the 'nonsense text' remained. So I dug a little further...

I checked out Dave Hyatt's weblog and read that the default Standard font on Safari is now Times 16. I switched the pref from Lucida Grande to Times, and the nonsense text appeared in the font preview field. No matter what version of Times I chose, the nonsense text remained in the in the font preview field. This seems to happen for any font--- only the font at the top of the list is selectable. I selected Times Regular and left Preferences.

Going back to Preferences to select the Standard font, the font list revealed that Times Phonetic Alternate was now the default. :confused:

For whatever reason, it seems my system as an affinity for Times Phonetic Alternate when Times is specified. I bet this remains true for any software that uses Times (the EULAs, Help files, Shake user story, etc. I mentioned earler)

Seems it's time to check the Knowledge Base. Suggestions still welcome.
 
Tough luck for me

Safari USED to work just fine for me, now it doesn't work for crap. Out of all my bookmarks, it will only load Apple.com and Weather.com. All the others used to work in Safari just fine. It's quicker than previous versions, yes, but i only want to see the specs of the new g5 so many times. Anybody know where i can get beta 2 from???

I was hoping hundereds of people were experiencing the same thing so apple would put out a patch right away, but i guess i just need to downgrade!:mad: :mad:
 
The full version of Safari is not working properly on my comupter. I cannot connect to macrumors.com or cnn.com. I couldn't connect to Apple's "Hot News" with any version of Safari. I have an iMac DV 400 running 10.2.6. Does anyone else have this problem?
 
Trouble with script output and Cache/Cookies

Anybody else having trouble with cached script output which makes navigation through Webmin about impossible?

Seems to "hard cache" the output and just wont let it GO!!

Finagling is an excellent word.
