Created attachment 32930 [details] Webkit Sample when frozen This is an issue I have been having for some time with Safari, and still have using the latest nightlies. It happens on any website, and makes Safari crash eratically. Here are the steps I followed: 1) Navigate to any website. 2) Scroll down the page before it has finished loading completely. 3) Page freezes and beachball appears, force quit necessary. - Loading the same page again might work, as crashes occur randomly. - If I don't attempt to scroll until page is finished loading, page will load just fine - scrolling doesn't cause any freeze afterwards. - It seems that the disk is being accessed just right before beachball appears/freeze occurs. I have attached a sample of the process when it is frozen. This is an issue that occurs on a regular basis on any website, requiring to force quit Safari many times a day. I believe the issue appeared with the first betas of Safari 4.
