Re: Safari Beta For Windows
Anyone else seeing this issue?
I'm using a dual monitor configuration with Nvidia graphics on Windows XP.
When I put Safari on the 2nd monitor and maximize it, the Safari window disappears, but it is still on the taskbar. I can only Move or Close it. Move doesn't do anything since the Window is not there.
When I choose close, it closes, and when I reopen, it starts, maximized on the 1st monitor.
I always like to do my web browsing on the 2nd monitor off to the right, so this is a bit annoying for me. |

Haven't tried it on the winders side yet, but the Find command rocks in the new Beta on Mac. |

When Apple announced their switch to Intel's architecture there were cries of "Now why will the developers want to write for OS X??" but it seems like Apple has used this as an excuse to increase their presence in the software realm as well as the hardware. As long as they don't sell OS X for beige boxes I'll be OK.

Happens to me randomly as well -- it was also happening recently with WebKit too... didn't seem to happen in OmniWeb or FF so I don't think it's a site issue.

said by Digital :OMG, this is the absolute coolest thing I've ever seen a browser do! If you highlight some text, and right click, you can have it search google for you on it's own! Now THAT is cool. That feature has been in Safari for a long time.

Dang!!! (That's the most intelligent word I can come up with after seeing that in action!)
I had always bitched about Safari being difficult to search in... not any more!

For those coming from IE this is probably a very new (nice) concept

Finally a browser Find feature that combines best of 'Spotlight in System Preferences' with Firefox. I love it! |

Is there anyway to change the color? Girls don't like "grey".

Imported my bookmarks from Mozilla with not too much trouble - though
I would like to be able to access them from the Bookmarks Bar or from the
menu without having to click Show All Bookmarks (Ctrl+Alt+B).
It did pick up my proxy settings from Ad Subtract Pro, and it appears as
though filtering works normally, though I won't be able to empty the cache
or delete cookies from it.
I'll probably continue to use Mozilla as my default browser, but keep Safari
and use it every now and then. I do notice one quirk with it - when minimized
and then restored, it doesn't maximize, but instead resizes to a normal window.

Ok, I had to uncheck "auto hide the taskbar" to make it show. I guess it won't drop down over Safari if that's checked. |

Yeah the posting issue where clicking "Post Now" or any of the others brings up an empty comments field and then I have to press the back button and try the "Post Now" button again until it goes through.... happens very randomly and not too frequently.

Keep and eye on your CPU cycles and memory. I was just ready some rss feeds from Macworld and the CPU is pegging to 98% and memory is continually growing (using it one windows).
Restarted Safari and all is good. But this is definitely a BETA.
Edit: It actually seems to do it when you click on a link from the RSS screens.

Thanks. It's obviously a "bug" then. Oh well, it's to be expected.
I probably won't use this as my default browser, it's not as customizable as Fx with all it's add on's, but it's still pretty nice, definitely worth keeping and playing with.
