odd Safari 3.0 (522.11) clipboard behaviour
Apple’s beta release of Safari 3.0 has certainly got lots of people talking. While I didn’t have any issues with installation or launch, as some have reported, I did have it crash on me once, which is quite uncharacteristic.
Today I noticed a really odd behaviour: I was doing some data-entry, copying-and-pasting data from BBEdit 8.6.2 into a web form in Safari 3. Copy, switch, paste, switch, copy, switch, paste… The weird thing is that it was sometimes (maybe 10%?) remembering previous clipboard data. E.g.: first “a” is copied-and-pasted, then “b” is copied, but “ab” gets pasted. Impossible; each new “copy” clears the previous one.?Ǭ

I’ve just noticed this too. I can copy around inside safari fine but I’m not managing to copy to or from safari very much. How bazaar.

Also having a script copy to your clipboard is not working in winSafari. I know in winFF you have to go to “about:config” and search for Preference Name “signed.applets.codebase_principal_support” and then change the value to “true” to enable a script to copy to your clipboard.
