Since there's really nowhere else to post this...
It's been a long time that I've noticed this, but the 'Preview' function doesn't work properly for me when writing.
It pops up a region on the page that includes the title of the topic and the first line of text, but nothing else. The region is only those 2 lines tall, and there aren't any scrollbars...like so:

Just to make things difficult, I'm on a Mac :)
Problem noticed in the current version of Safari -- Version 3.0.4 (523.12.2), but not in my version of NetNewsWire (3.1.1).
I know they both use WebKit as the rendering engine, but I don't know if the problem happens on the Windows version of Safari....
Any ideas?

This is a bit off-topic, but is Safari somehow better than other browsers? Have you tried Firefox or Opera? AFAIK, both have excellent OS X versions.
I wasn't very impressed when I tried Safari on a Mac.

So far as I know Safari is the only browser that honors color management. As I recall it didn't work with any site I use. Course that was an early PC version of Safari I was trying.

I think both Opera and Firefox are excellent under OSX the same way they are excellent under Linux. That is, they provide a consistent interface and strong performance baseline.
However, there are basic features that I require in my web browsing that aren't provided with those two--mostly integration with some of the high-level OSX services. Safari & Camino (and a couple of the other lesser browsers) do hook into services like the Keychain without the need for plug-ins or hacks.
For a very long time, I used the OSX variant of the Mozilla project, Camino. When Safari 3 came out, I switched for a week to see how I liked the new version. Render speeds are quite good. Standards support is quite good. I've never really gone back to Camino--although I do try to support the underdog :)
Maybe it's time to go back and see what's developed over the past couple of months....
