More annoyances from Safari 4
I’m still sticking with it, but I can add three more annoyances to the list.
- When I click a link in tab ‘A’, it opens tab ‘D’ and shifts the focus there. When I close tab ‘D’ it takes me back to tab ‘C’. I want to go back to ‘A’ because that’s where I last was.
- Cut & paste of HTML seems dodgy. I want to copy my shownotes from Evernote to Mevio. In Firefox, I just copy it and all is good. Safari (and versions prior to 4 do this as well) strips the HTML and leaves me with plain text. I note that one improvement in Safari 4 is that is shows the formatted text in the Mevio editor, but as soon as I save it, it reverts to text. This is one task I am going to have to use Firefox for every week. Grrr.
- I like that my browser remembers what I type into fields. It took me a while to learn how, in Firefox, to remove remembered entries that I no longer wanted. I can find no way to do this in Safari.
- I’ll have to retrain myself not to use double spaces after full stops, as Safari likes to render the second space at the start of a line if the line break falls there. Why? In HTML, whitespace is all equal!
