Dear WebKit developers, I downloaded WebKit today from webkit.org. I downloaded version "420+", 21,939,240 bytes. It doesn't appear to be working correctly. The text isn't readable; it's big enough to see, but is contained within a framework that cuts the letters off. (I took a screenshot and could send it to you, if you want to send me an email address, or call me at 704-596-6237.) There's no capability to get information by hovering with the mouse; the contextual menu item does appear to work to open the WebKit window, but the window doesn't provide much information and what there is isn't readable. The little "x" at the upper left also doesn't work to close the window. It's very much needed for Safari and I wish it were usable. I'm running Mac OSX system 10.4.8 with Safari 2.0.4. Software Update doesn't offer me an update to that version of Safari, though it appears to need quite a few fixes. I ought also to mention that all my browsers have text display problems, and those problems persist across reformats/reinstalls. OmniWeb is the worst, with lines of text piling onto one another, worse than even Safari's problem, which appears to have gotten somewht better overall. There's also a problem with text being cut off, so that the upper and lower parts of letters is cut off. Best wishes, Mary Grimsley, <marygrimsley1@mac.com> 704-596-6237
For what it's worth, it seems very unlikely that the problem you have described is related to WebKit at all. It is very likely to be caused by an external factor such as damaged fonts, or incompatible extensions. You may want to contact Apple customer support and see if they can help you resolve the issue.
