Safari bug known

Safari 1.3 (Panther) and Safari 2.0 (Tiger) offer improved CSS support, nifty new features, and a minor but unfortunate new CSS rendering bug.

If you’re using Safari 1.3 or 2.0, the subnavigation in our sidebar starts in the wrong place, and the diamond markers preceding each list item are superimposed over the crack between columns.

Dave Hyatt, Apple’s Safari chief, fixed the bug the same day we reported it. Updated versions of Safari 1.3/2, free of said bug, will become available very soon.
