Can you confirm the following bugs or changes in Safari with Tiger?

1) If you slide the dot between the Address Bar and the Google Search Bar to change their respective sizes, a "slur" is left between them. I guess this is best described as a trail of movement that doesn't go away.

2) Sometimes Tabs don't get darker when the mouse hovers over them (even when the rest of Safari is still "snappy").

3) When rearranging bookmarks, you can no longer select more than one item without holding the Shift key. In Panther, you could simply click, hold, and drag the mouse to select as many items as you wanted.

4) The Address Bar's background is solid white while the Bookmark Bar still has the faint grey stripes. This looks kinda weird. (No haxies.)

Thanks.

2) This issue is probably as old as Safari itself.

No slur. Tried it on a PB17 and Mac mini.

Have themes installed so can't check. It works fine with a number of themes however.

I don't see that as a bug. If anything, the older way would be a bug. Less chance of accidently moving something you don't the current way.

Looks fine with themes.

This is a computer-generated message and needs no signature.

I have themes installed, but I don't use any of them. What does that mean for me?

Agreed this is not a bug, but it is a change. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one experiencing it. Can more people please comment on #1, #2, and #4 so I can determine the same thing for those, as well? Thanks a lot. (running 10.4.1, by the way)
