This morning I tried to write a quick post on this blog using Apple’s latest Safari beta, and quickly ran into trouble.

It turns out that the Safari 4 beta has problems with the WordPress 2.7 administration theme. Specifically, with displaying the modal dialog that appears when you try and make a link. Normally, the rest of the admin page fades into the background and an “Insert/edit link” window opens in the foreground.

Under Safari 4 beta however, the link window also fades into the background and you can’t focus your mouse in any of its text fields.

Whoops. While it’s probably a quick fix (and possibly no fault of Safari either – I haven’t looked at the WordPress theme closely enough to see how standards-based it is), you would think that Apple would have tested their beta browser against one of the most popular blogging platforms out there.

Oh well. Until either Apple or WordPress fixes things, it’s back to Firefox for posting. Other than this little bug, I’ve been really pleased with Safari 4 overall.
