Yeah, I've seen this a couple of times on my Powerbook. I even get the one where the mouse pointer disappears after reboot, love that. Don't feel bad if know one else comes forward with their Mac issues, sometimes I think Apple users live in a cloud of self delusion.
many years from now there'll be a class action lawsuit, emotionally scarred apple users will be in court, their lawyers will hold up a replica of a early 21st century powerbook, and say
"show the court how the powerbook hurt you"
ah sh1t it would have sounded funny if drew carey said it

The one bug they mention in 10.3.8 that I have experienced (twice in 18 months of ownership, how rare is that?) on my Aluminium PBG4 was the 'black screen, doesn't respond to input when waking from sleep' bug. The only two times it happened was when I was at my friend's house. I thought it was just a random crash so I was psyched that they actually tracked down and fixed this bug.
The PBG4 does sleep automatically too. My sleep issue only affects my iMac.
I have had a bug that very, very rarely causes my whole screen to be fragmented. I can still use the mouse and it appears that the OS is still in tact underneath all of the fragments, but I can't use it without restarting. It fixes the problem, but it is quite annoying when it happens. I have no way of saving, etc. when this happens, and it will happen at times with Expose, or with the screen saver, and my attempt to get back to the finder...

Hopefully 1.3 has fixed the animated .gifs issue. Nothing gets my iMac G5's fans humming quicker than a visit to a forum reply page with a bunch of animated .gifs.
Safari 1.3 takes some of the page rendering improvements from Safari 2.0 and gives them to us Panther users.
I don't think the animated gif thing will be fixed if it's true that dirty rectangle info is thrown out in everything prior to Tiger.
The problem is that the animated gifs apparently cause the entire page to be redrawn on screen instead of just redrawing the animated gif. That is why it's so slow, and it's apparently something that will be fixed at the OS level in Tiger.
OTOH, that dirty rectangle problem only applies to Cocoa applications, and I am not sure if Safari is a Cocoa app.

I'm hoping that's fixed in v1.3 final as well. Animated gifs send my CPU through the roof

good luck with it...

I thought it is Safari coming with Tiger that it is much faster than v1.2.x

So, has anyone tried Safari v1.3 to tell us if this has been fixed or not?

As it is right now, Safari 1.3 includes all the rendering improvements from 2.0 - and the "brand new" Javascript engine that is much faster.
