    Option-click the time-remaining info to get download-rate info. Context-click individual downloads to have the option of removing them one at a time.

    Oh, sly move! A little competition Huh? We'll see about that! I PM'ed him last night but didn't say anything because I wanted to keep it a secret. He said he had a few. I'm sure we can work something out.8)

    Anyone else having problems with tabs? Sometimes they work right but sometimes they replace my current browser window with a new blank one. Also typing this is very slow and I only have iChat and Mail running which I always do.



    Edit: I just realized it is actually making the tab but not putting the tab bar under the bookmark bar so I can't change windows, but when I control-w I go to the lower tab.

    I am very happy about the tab/window-resize issue has been fixed. However I am seeing some very odd behavior. I haven't noticed exactly what causes it, but every now and then my bookmarks bar disappears. If I mouse over where the bar should be, the individual bookmarks show up, but not the whole bar. I tried hiding the bar then showing it again using the view menu, but that just made half of the address bar disappear. And in replying now, I am seeing the sluggishness of the text entry.



    I haven't played with it too much since I updated so I haven't run into all the other goodies people are pointing out, but it's nice to hear about them

    The only issue that I see every once in awhile is the slowness of text entry. I did experience it in v1.1.1 though as well.



    Besides that everything else is running pretty smoothly.

    Sledgehammer I am also having the problem with the bookmark bar along with the tab problem I mentioned earlier. I'm using a G3 700mhz iBook with 256mb Ram.

    Yes, I've noticed this too. Even the emoticons are animating quite slowly when I'm typing this. Have a look...



    But I'm happy for the resumable downloads feature, and the smoothness of page scrolling though.



    Also it seems that pages with frames which have scrollbars now display the mouse cursor instead of the I-Beam cursor, when the mouse is using them.



    I'm a happy chappy. m.

    I noticed the tab problem a little while after posting before. They're there, but they're not showin' up (although, of course, usually they do, just not always)

    Hopefully we get a point point release soon that clears up these issues.

    safari sure does render faster [and just generally faster!]



    happy camper here.

    There are two things that I have noticed with this new version. One is the overall size of the Safari app itself. Version 1.1.1 was something like 2.9mb, whereas 1.2 is 14.6mb. The other thing I have noticed today is some weird acting scrollbars. Sometimes the scrollbar will stick, and the another will form underneath the stuck scroll bar - its very weird and I can't reproduce it regularly, but I did screen capture and send to Apple.

    Okay, the first major bug.



    I was downloading the Java 1.4.2 update through Safari's download manager. I pause the download at 11.x MB to check something, and when I was ready to resume, it started at 0 all over again.



    /me sends a bug report...



    Now I'm pissed.



    A resumable download feature that doesn't resume. Nice one, Apple. m.

    doesn't the server need to support resumes?

    This definitely seems like a step backwards for me so far. With the slow typing and the tabs being screwed up, I wish I hadn't upgraded.



    By the way it seems that this tab thing is not an isolated incident, people over on the apple support forums have been having the same problem. If you put always show tab bar it works ok, but thats annoying.

    Damn, I downloaded 1.2 last night but I haven't tried yet because I've been using OW 5.0 beta!

    I don't think so, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.



    Get a load of this. I tried getting the Java 1.4.2 update again, and 100 kilobytes from completion, it times out on me.



    And it didn't resume 100 KB from finishing!!! It started all over again.



    I wasted over two hours getting that far, and all for nothing. 100 KB from completion was a 99.642% completion.



    Apple can go and get fscked with this resumable download thing. It clearly doesn't work as it is supposed to.



    And they can go and shove it where the sun don't shine with this whole Safari 1.2 update. Text input is far too slow ? a step backward, as stated earlier by someone else.



    This 1.2 update is clearly not ready yet, and more work definitely needs to be done. This is ridiculous. I'll be eagerly awaiting 1.3, as will most of us here, it seems...



    Also, images seem to load slower, despite the faster rendering of the page itself.



    It's like being fscking anally raped with an Xbox. m.

    I'm not the master at OS X troubleshooting, but have you tried fixing permissions and updating the prebinding? Sometimes that speeds things up. Oh, and delete caches too.

    I just wish they simply tested the damn thing before they release it. It was only a couple of days ago when the News Comments forum here was telling us developers were to test Safari 1.2 and OS X 10.3.3.



    Common sense implies that 2 or 3 days to test new features in a program is not enough. I was expecting at least a week - at which time the released update would actually work, and not introduce sluggishness.



    Updates are supposed to steps in the rightdirection, Apple. m.
