Why everytime I boot launch Safari the window is always moved around, like iCal 1.0 was.

I mean come'on, this is APPLE and now twice they have released software that can't even remember it's window positioning?!?!

I trashed the prefs and it fixed it temporaily but then it started doing it again.

I noticed that if you keep you window away from the dock it will stay put, but get close to the dock and it will happen again on next launch.

Can't believe these bugs get out the door!

FullScreenSafari.ape

You need APE installed but it fixes the window problem nicely.

Funny, I was taking your advise and moved my window a bit. Then when I went to quit and re-open to see if it stuck Safari crashed when I quit. Tried to start Safari back up and it would keep crashing. Restarted the computer but Safari would still crash. Trashed it, downloaded a new copy thru IE and all is fine again. I'm so glad I didn't trash IE yet.

Anyway, all is fine again.
