Google search suggestions not working

I am using Safari 3.2.1 and just recently I've noticed that the Google search suggestions no longer appear when I start to type in a word.
I still get the right hand column that show the number of searches but not the main column.
If I pass my mouse cursor over where the list should be each suggestion shows up as I move the mouse down the list but disappears again.
I've cleared the Cache but it didn't help.

Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz. !st. gen. 9800GT card, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 6 Gig ram

I am having the same issue. I upgraded to Safari 4 (beta) thinking that would fix it but it's doing the same thing!

HELP????!!!!!

I've noticed too that if I switch over to the Classic Google it works it's only when I am using iGoogle that it messes up.

i tried changing my theme in igoogle to "classic" and it looks like it's fixed. unfortunately, i'm assuming it's either a problem with google in general or the theme itself. i had a custom theme with my own image uploaded.
incase it isn't clear here are some screenshots

Hello,

When Safari open, from the Menu Bar select Safari/Preferences. Click the AutoFill tab. Make sure, "Other forms" is selected.

i clicked around a bit and realized that google has changed the search suggestions color fonts to match the theme that you have. it's definitely the "theme"

Well it appears to be working today I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays fixed but it's hard to type that way lol
