10.5: Modify the Currency Converter widget's pop-ups

You are correct -- it's more than a visual glitch. I've updated the hint to make it obvious that this bug affects calculations, not just appearances.

Sorry for the confusion.

regards,

Unit Converter currency list error due to Safari 4 beta
Authored by: asher on Mar 05, '09 07:36:28PM

I took a fresh 10.5.6 system with all updates applied. The currency converting section of Unit Converter worked as expected. I applied the Safari 4 beta, then the country lists had changed as reported here. The left side list used to have USA on top, now doesn't. The converter seems to work by the position of the country in the list rather than by the name. Thus in the incorrect version the British pound used to be 5th in the list. If you pick the country fifth in the list you get the correct conversion for the pound. Looks strange, but works. Makes one wonder what other things might have been affected by the beta that seem unrelated to Safari. Well it's a beta, pays your money, takes your chances.
