Has Safari 3.1 broken Gmail?

by Mark on March 19, 2008

The Safari 3.1 update has just landed on my Macbook pro. It’s quicker, more compatible, has Javascript that seems to work more consistently, but Gmail has gone decidedly odd.

I’ve written a subject in an outgoing email, pressed tab to start writing the body and despite the cursor showing up in the body the text I now write is still in the subject… It’s driving me bonkers.

Please Apple I don’t want to return to Firefox for day to day stuff, please fix this asap.

Interestingly the admin for Wordpress seems to work now, which is great. As I find more stuff, I’ll post, I’m kind of hoping this is me being deficient in coffee or something…

Update: It seems to be something to do with the shift key… Apart from that, it seems to be just me… Anyone else having similar problems?

Oops, that should have been: ‘No you are _not_ alone.’

I’m not mad… wooohooo, honestly I thought I was losing the plot for a minute…

I have the same ;/

I found a solution: while composing a mail switch to simple view without advanced formatting and then it works!

Strangely enough I’ve been trying everything to resolve this problem, but the thing that worked was just switching my gmail account from my native Icelandic to US English.
Weird.
