There is (or at least was ‹ not sure it¹s still a current browser!) an Apple Safari browser on Windows. I¹ve never come across anyone that uses it though, but I haven¹t looked for it in server logs either.
So far I¹ve only seen it in Chrome here, but on different problems across multiple courses, so not something tied into a particular coding problem as far as I can see. The others reporting similar on the listserv here makes me suspicious that perhaps a recent update to Chrome is ultra-picky or perhaps buggy or at least inconsistent somehow with something about how Lon-Capa renders problems...
