Description

Previewing posts causes subsequent saves and updates to freeze, resulting in an endless spinning wheel, in Safari 5.1. The issue arises under different conditions, depending on the version of Mac OS X that Safari 5.1 is running on.

Steps to Reproduce:

Safari 5.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8

  1. Edit or create a draft/post, and then click Save Draft or Update
  2. Preview draft/post
  3. Close preview window or don’t close preview window. Doesn’t matter.
  4. Clicking on Save Draft or Update results in endless spinning wheel

Safari 5.1 on Mac OS X 10.7

  1. Edit or create a draft, and then click Save Draft
  2. Preview draft
  3. Don’t close preview window
  4. Clicking on Save Draft or Publish results in endless spinning wheel

There are also reports of the same issue occurring with other browsers, such as Chrome: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/freezing-when-saving-a-draft

However, I'm not able to reproduce this in Firefox 5.0.1 or Chrome 13.0.782.107 under OS X 10.6.8 or 10.7

The WebKit bug was fixed on 2011-09-15, not sure how long until it gets in Chrome (Mac) and Safari. Current Mac Safari (5.1.1) still fails, so we'd need to patch it.
