This behavior happens in Safari 4.0.4, so its likely to be an old bug. Steps to Reproduce: - Call up the inspector in new window - Switch to console - Close window - Call it up again; text input not active. Expected Behavior: The text input should be active!
Still a bug :| :|

Works fine if the console is full-view. Only the split console has the issue.
