Maybe M$ will move on for a new version... Let's hope for the best,
but prepare for the worst :)

by the way, Safari 3.0b is really Beta ! it broke down my transparent
dock and i can't fix it because T-dock wants 10.4.8, not 10.4.9 :
( First time Apple's beta program mixed my sistem. i deleted it

I have the same problem too. I've noticed that this happens whether
or not you save the conversation. I also thought that this is some
webkit issue. But it appears to be a referenced file... so maybe MS
is including code that they didn't make... sort of like copying...
again. I have sent feedback, but I doubt anything will be done for a
long time... because most of the time people don't support beta
confilct issues.

Also, another thing I've noticed...
- When Safari 3 is installed, the text cursor in an open chat window
will be the color of text that you type.
- When Safari 2 is installed, the text cursor is normal... a.k.a.
black.

Hopefully we see a quick fix for that... but most likely not. I've
just reverted back to Safari 2 for now... but I love Safari 3.

I was having the same crashing problem with Microsoft Messenger for
Mac when closing a conversation. I tried all sorts of different
settings and reinstalling. I eventually had to uninstall the Safari 3
beta and it works now without crashing.

I have no other choice but to use Microsoft Messenger for Mac because
I'm stuck using Microsoft's Live Communication Server.

I'm having problems as described here!

i am just learning how to use newsgroup

[sobeautifu...@gmail.com]

have exactly the same problem, tried to deinstall Safari 3, but i
think i didn't it the right way (empty library/preferences files), or
does Safari 3 also make spme changes to a root file or something?

thanks in advance

We received the Safari beta on Monday afternoon just as everyone else did.
We are in the process of doing compatibility testing, granted this is a
beta. Messenger does use WebKit and Safari makes changes to WebKit for this
beta.

We will work with Apple to try and resolve these issues. In the interim,
Messenger 6.0.2 and Safari 3 Beta do have some incompatibilities.

I was able to use the uninstaller that came with the beta and it appeared to
resolve issues that only reproduced with the beta installed.

Thanks,
Rebecca

Can we hope in some, even small, new features?

Use the uninstall program that came with the beta. Just moving the
application and preferences files to the trash will not work.
