I could use Safari 1.3. and it did fix the accent problem, but is so slow to get into WP that I've had to abandon it again. All the other browers I use (Netscape, Opera, Firefox) get into WP considerably faster than Safari 1.3 (which sometimes just hangs and never makes it, and when it does, I get lots of spinning pizzas if I try to open multiple windows), whereas Safari 1.2 seemed as fast as the others. Now I'm wondering whether it would make any difference if I upgraded
to Tiger.
Safari 1.3 has shown speed problems for some users with some technologies. have a look in the usual places (Tidbits, Macnn, macfixit etc). i don't use (or like) Safari so I didn't pay attention. It's probably not to do with Mediawiki.
