i've done some testing on a machine running OS X 10.5.5 with Safari 3.2.1 (the exact same build of safari i have tested on 10.5.6 which i believe is the very latest public release of safari).
I *cannot* reproduce the strange behavior on 10.5.5 using either Shiira or a Fluid 0.9.5 SSB. If I had to guess, I would say this is a new problem in CFNetwork (which webkit uses for http networking/cookies) shipping with 10.5.6. AFAICT, the issue is not present in 10.5.5. However, I do not have conclusive evidence of that. (one should always keep in mind that most systems have many extensions and applications installed, and should never be too quick to point fingers... different apps/plugins/ extensions can interact in surprising ways). now I'm going to work on a bug report for apple including all this info. i kinda doubt this will be news to them tho. td On Dec 31, 11:54 am, [email protected] wrote: > thanks for the details ben. i rarely use safari, so other than the > notes from you guys here, I cant tell when this began, but it sounds > like its prolly a 10.5.6/3.2.1 issue. > > i'm working on a bug for apple (i like to be thorough). > > td > > On Dec 30, 9:03 pm, Benjamin Stein <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Yes, it started happening to me as soon as I upgraded to 10.5.6.
