Seems to work as intended for me...

This is likely to do how WYSIWYG is implemented. It seems that unless your user agent is that of Firefox, the feature isn't even available. Probably relying on Firefox-specific DOM features to implement.

I haven't experienced any lag or slowness related to Flash; not on Hulu, Gametrailers.com, or YouTube. Are you running the latest version of the plugin?

I'll often find myself clicking at the page name a couple of times and minimizing the whole tab into the dock.

That's the first I've heard of this. The entire tab area should be a hot-spot for receiving clicks. In fact, the strongest complaint that I've heard regarding the new tabbed interface is that click-throughs on inactive tabs while the window is in the background bring the tab to the forward rather than just the whole window.

I can explain this one for you. Someone doesn't know how to use stylesheets. They included HTML markup in the linked-to CSS file, which brought extra HEAD and BODY tags into the page.

Yeah, its flashy. TBH, I'd like to see a cover-flow style or top-sites style display for opening entire folders in my bookmarks bar, rather than opening them out into separate tabs. Or maybe display all open tabs into a exposé/coverflow/top-sites presentation for quick visual scanning.

I've noticed that the "Save As Web Application..." feature has disappeared from this build of Safari 4. I wonder what the fate of that feature is...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
