Anyone want to provide nominations for the best recent Safari nightly build? I'm currently using 41792 so I know it's time for an update. One particular thing I'm interested in, however, is a build that will remember to preserve the Check Spelling As You Type setting. The regular Safari remembers it, but on this nightly I have to reenable it every time I relaunch.

Dunno when they fixed that, but it's been working in the latest builds for a while now.

Have the Webkit builds fixed:

1. Slow, jerky scrolling.
2. The HUGE memory leak.

I have to frequently (daily at minimum) relaunch it because it starts using hundreds of megs of RAM. Even closing tabs and windows I don't get the memory back. I am using SafariStand as the only "add-on". Is it to blame?

Safari addons are notorious for messing stuff up, yes, but the memory leak you're experiencing is most likely the broken cache implementation in the Safari 1.x and 2.x versions of webkit. There are others, but that one is particularly nasty.
