Fix locked Safari 4 Beta / SafariStand windows
Authored by: Fairly on Mar 23, '09 11:53:10AM

There's something systemically wrong when an innocent high level GUI event causes such deep rooted disasters. I'm smelling the same type of chancy coding Microsoft did with their IE where the same type of thing happened. The reason the IE coders did what they did - which is by definition "bad engineering" - is they wanted to win the speed war with Netscape. Apple are always trying to sell Safari on its speed. One has to wonder if they're doing the same thing.

Fix locked Safari 4 Beta / SafariStand windows

It's a SafariStand issue, not a Safari issue. I had the same problem and did the same thing other the commenters here did.

Since 'Stand is a plugin that isn't really supposed to work the way it works, it's not really an Apple coding issue and certainly nothing like what Microsoft did with IE.

For me, Safari 4 is stable except for one site (even with the plugins I have) and that's not bad considering it is beta software.

Sometimes when you run out into the field of new tech (ie: using a beta version), you stumble a bit.
