Safari beta problem?

u know that installer just screwed up my whole machine (see new post).
What the hell apple?

 

I dont see how it could be connected. They are two separate apps. But since you mention it... I did have something funky happen with iChat after I installed the beta.

 

does ichat use webkit?
my crash logs where ichat crashed say webkit failed or something similar...

 

I believe iChat does use WebKit for "rich text" messages(or I could just be thinking of Adium).

Generally it's considered a good idea not to run beta software on "production" machines, or at least backup before using beta software. If you're having problems, be sure to report them to Apple.

 

Yes, I have the exact same problem. Reverting to Safari 2 fixes it. It's a bug.

 

You only have ONE problem???

 

No problems with iChat here. Been running beta since it became available. Very few issues, so far. Most noticeable issue was with a couple of 3rd party widgets. One's been fixed by the developer, the other two I fixed myself.

Had one hang while playing Pogo game a few minutes ago, but very hard to say it was specifically related to 3.0. Once in a while, these cropped up in 2.x.

Overall, I haven't had anything happen bad enough to remove the beta. I'm enjoying the speed - it's significantly faster overall than 2.x.

edit: The uninstaller seemed to work fine for me also. I reverted back to 2.x shortly after installing the beta, to check something out. Then, reinstalled the beta.
