Fix funky default window position in Safari
Cascading new windows does not bug me. But what I feel is a funky Safari window behavior involves tabs.
closing last tab shrinks Safari window
Thanks for mentioning this. I also usually keep my browser windows at the full height (not width!) of the screen. And I'd noticed that the windows sometimes got shorter but I hadn't correlated it with the tab behaviour. Now that I understand what is happening (Safari shrinks the window when the last tab gets closed), I'm going to report it as a bug via the (Safari menu) Bug mechanism. You should report it too and maybe enough people will protest that they will consider fixing this soon.

Open the Safari Preferences and check "Always show tab bar."

But I don't want it to always show the tab bar. That takes up useful vertical space.

Maybe you should reconsider what you think a "bug" is. Safari developers gave you two options. You'd prefer a third. That's not a bug; that's a feature request.
window size is set by the user
No, this is not a feature request. It's a bug.

Sorry, I have to agree with the others. It's "resizing" because the tab bar is going away, but the area filled with actual content is staying the same. Try this: go to Finder and open a window. Then hit cmd-B to toggle the toolbar on and off. Same thing happens here; the window gets "smaller" because you're hiding one of its elements. The visible "productive" area of the window stays the same, but overall it gets smaller when the toolbar goes away.

Regardless of whether it's a bug or not (let's stop the debate now...It's to much like the chicken and the egg debate,) the horizontal length of the window has been set by me, the user, so why does Safari insist on shrinking it? Bug or not, it's annoying. |
