Through build r30966, user name/password would automatically complete, even though a web site (eg Yahoo mail) would block the keychain from completing. The "override" is due to 3rd party Safari add-on SAFT. One of SAFT's preference feature is "auto-complete always on". However, subsequent WebKit builds override the override, i.e. the auto-complete no longer works on these types of sites.
This is true whether the WebKit for Safari 3.0.4 or 3.1 is being used. What changed? Can this be fixed?

I might add the "auto-complete" continues to work via the SAFT override in Safari 3.1, as well as WebKit v r30966 and earlier.

Safari extensions are completely unsupported, and auto-fill is part of Safari and not WebKit.

I realize Safari extensions are unsupported. I'm curious why auto-fill works only up to v r30966. Something had to change in the WebKit?
