Topic says it all: SC expansion seems glitchy in Safari/gmail. Running OS 10.6.6, with SC 10.3.7. Seems to work alright with just a few windows open, but the more windows, the less nimble the expansion. And for the 4th or 5th time in the last few weeks an expansion seemed to trigger the spinning beach ball, necessitating a force quit.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Make sure you have Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Spelling While Typing deselected in Safari. Tell me if that makes a difference.

Done. Still happening.

How often?

Next time it does, can you fire up the Activity Monitor utility, select Safari, take a sample with Activity Monitor, save it then send it to our feedback email address (Spell Catcher app, Help > Send Feedback by E-Mail)? From that I can tell if it's the same WebKit bug I know about, or something else…

The sample you sent seems to indicate that Check Spelling While Typing IS still selected (turned on).

Can you double-check this to see that once you've deselected it in Safari, it stays deselected on subsequent launches and whenever you change from one text area to another?

No; it's been turned off. (screen shot attached)

No, that's not what I'm referring to.

In Safari, pull down the Edit menu. Look in the Edit > Spelling and Grammar submenu. Make sure that "Check Spelling While Typing" is deselected.

Not talking about a Spell Catcher preference setting here, a Safari setting.

Sorry for my confusion, and thank you for the correction. Contrary to all evidence in this thread I am not a complete nitwit when it comes to this stuff. You might want to spell this out more even clearly even when dealing with putatively intelligent life-forms. (Step one: make sure you are modifying Safari preferences....)

I was thinking that while the forum is useful, it would be very nice to have a chart that spells out basic compatibility with respect to to different browsers and other probematic applications. It would be a lot easier than digging through forums, especially since many of us often have to make strategic decisions about which -- or how many -- browsers to use.

Thanks again,

Erik
