The problem is displayed with popular Hebrew web servers. The problem is reproduced both on Leopard and Tiger. Firefox displays the same pages correctly. The attached screenshot shows how some items are displayed on both browsers. Some of the problems reproduced, together with the URLs are: * http://www.nana.co.il/ Safari doesn't display the scrolling bar on the right side of the page, so the user can't scroll to the bottom of the page. * http://fontbit.co.il/ scrolling in a box that was created using Flash gives you very strange results on Safari. * http://news.walla.co.il/ the side navigation bar is a total mass on Safari - the images are on the navigation bar, text is on the images and it is almost useless for the user. * http://www.themarker.com/ there is no right scrolling bar (can't see the bottom of the page), ads on the left side of the page is on top of some info. * http://advertising.themarker.com/tmc/marketing.jhtml?layer=media (a tab in the The Marker site) - a table that is a total me ss on Safari but looks good on Firefox. * http://www.haaretz.co.il/ and scroll down, you can see some text on the right side of the page that is on top of other text. </original text: end> I tried saving the current state of the page as web archive, but this option doesn't work. So I attach screenshots how the page is displayed on Safari and Firefox. The main problem in Safari is that no side scroll bar is displayed, so most of the page is completely unaccessible. The page displayed in Firefox is very long - several screen heights. <GMT31-Jan-2007 12:35:37GMT> Cloned from problemID rdar://problem/4926358 by: Dary Mihova. <GMT31-Jan-2007 12:35:36GMT> Dary Mihova: <original text: begin> <GMT16-Jan-2007 15:08:25GMT> Lasse Jakobsen [on behalf of Dave Wiley]: Not a regression, bad for Hebrew users nonetheless. <GMT16-Jan-2007 22:33:43GMT> DAVID Murphy: Intl BRB: Setting Intl Blocker/P1, especially since it works with other browsers. <GMT24-Jan-2007 03:03:04GMT> Stephanie Lewis: Several of the websites appear very different than described. Please verify the problems still exist, and give detailed instructions on how to duplicate the problem. Also if this could be broken into individual bug reports this would simplify bug tracking and verification. <GMT24-Jan-2007 22:06:06GMT> Dave Wiley: FYI </original text: end> Reason for clone: Separating the problem for each specific page. this one is for http://www.nana.co.il <GMT31-Jan-2007 13:02:00GMT> Dave Wiley: "Safari doesn't display the scrolling bar on the right side of the page, so the user can't scroll to the bottom of the page." <rdar://problem/4966249>
The bug appears to be fixed in TOT. The page specifies overflow: hidden for the <html> element, and overflow-y: scroll for an inner <div> which contains most of the content.
Fixed by implementing the overflow-x and overflow-y CSS properties in r14953.
