Re: Missing letters

Just want to add my experience:
On a Mac running Safari 3.0.2.
I've had the same "missing letters" thing happen
over the last two
weeks -- a vanishing "o" in one email thread, then
a "t" in
another....just now it happened with "a"...
(Third time's the charm -- I started looking for answers and
found
this group.)
...but it only happens in a reply email to an existing
thread -- and
then the missing letter vanishes **from the entire existing
thread**
not just my most recent email.

To whom do we report this obvious (but scattershot) bug?

Hi, I'm running Safari 2.4.0 on my Mac.  I've had no
problems
whatsoever. I'm also using the Notifier and Calendar with no
problems
at all.   Amy

Since this seems to be a Safari 3 bug (I've heard reports of
people
using Safari 2 with no problems) I'd say, report it to
whoever
receives bug reports for Safari 3.  Since it's apparently
Beta, there
should be a common bug reporting process available to all
Beta
testers.  (Sorry, no longer a MAC user, and never a Safari
user here).
