Safari Issues

Dave Hyatt is asking people for comments on things (non-UI related) that Safari still doesn't do correctly and I like complaining.

1. Safari still doesn't render Outlook Web Access correctly. It overlaps the text on smallish messages. I've reported this after ever major release.


2. Copy and paste is all wrong. It will often add extra lines an extra spaces to copied text. *cough*CFStringTrimWhitespace*cough*
3. If you are on the main page of the .org site and see my windows XP screenshot, resize the window to be small. The text overlaps the image. I don't know if this is intenntional, a bug or not.

I might add more to this as I find serious issues ;)

I just realised that some people actually might want to keep the formatting. I've griped about the same problem though, usually pasting text only to Terminal where the whitespace problem always causes problems.

Safari isn't sutiable for using as a copy-source. If I need to copy text from a webpage, I fire up Camino. I wish I could just use Safari!

The bug for copying text is that non-text controls such as popups and scripts are copied with all their options as text into the pasteboard. They should be skipped instead - because they are not text. I sent a report about this to Apple with the bug reporter last month.

Re 3. Mozilla does this (on Windows) too.

One thing that really pisses me off about Safari is that the context menu of a highlighted link does not have Copy in it.

My pet peev would be no syntax highlighting when viewing the web source.

That is the primary reason I stopped using Safari.

Thank God, somebody else got the copy and paste thing. It drives me CRAZY.

Let's not forget java script objects and cascading style sheets. Camino has no problems rendering them neither does IE or Netscape. It's like trying to dev sites for opera......

Is the interface that the clipboard uses bindable by APE?
