When I use gmail on my MacBook in OSX ... which is usually Safari ... selecting items via the checkbox and then clicking the top delete button does nothing. The mail is not deleted. I think this also happens in Firefox, but I tend not to use Firefox as much on the MacBook so my memory isn't clear. If I scroll down and, without changing anything else, I instead click on the delete button at the bottom of the mail list, then the selected items are deleted. Makes absolutely no sense to me and part of me assumes it's a gmail bug. However I never have this problem when I'm working with gmail on my Windows desktop so if it's a gmail web bug, it's surprisingly platform specific. I don't recall trying this in a browser in Windows running in a Parallels VM. (Of all the reasons I can think of to have access to Windows VM on a Mac, the ability to run a browser under Windows is definitely *NOT* one of them.) Still, maybe I'll give that a try just to see if I notice a difference. I was hoping that this Safari update might have changed something relating to this problem, but it didn't. I'm still seeing the problem. It's just intermittent. No rational reason to expect it would fix this problem since I'm not even sure it's a Safari problem. I was just a wishin' and a hopin' ... > What inputmanagers, plug-ins, etc have you installed? > Does the problem still occur when you eliminate them? What's an input manager? Or, to put it another way, I have no input managers or plug-ins that I know of. I pretty much use Safari exactly as it was installed without extending it with anything much other than adding bookmarks. I suppose I could try removing/uninstalling Safari in some way and then reinstalling it. Maybe there's some weird interaction between the former beta install and the non-beta code release code I'm using now? But I doubt that this would really do anything. Mac apps seem to be a lot less prone to problems generated by "partial updates". Actually this could also have started around the time I installed the OS X 10.5.7 update so I suppose I could as easily blame that. FWIW I also have problems with the cursor disappearing on me. I think that's somehow related to how full screen web video is processed. That one's been with me for at least two months or longer. It's all annoying and I'd like to get it fixed, but I'm not exasperated or desperate yet. It's just very annoying. If nothing else I'm hoping that moving to Snow Leopard will fix it. Yeah! That's the ticket! Snow Leopard will fix *everything*! Sure it will ... ;-) -irrational john --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
