Question

64 bit Safari: Cmd-click is ugly

I use Safari in 64 bit mode.

When I cmd-click a link to open in a new tab, the new tab is displayed in a light grey color. The new tab should be dark grey as background tabs are. 32 bit Safari does not have this problem.

Have a look:

Am I the only one with this problem?

I think this is the result of 3th party application enhanchments/input managers that don't do their work properly. Try disabling them and try it again.

I don't really have a reason for that 🙂

I've tried to disable everything I could think of, but the problem persists.

If no one else experiences this with Safari 64 bit, I guess it has to do with my specific set up. Thus I will have to try and disable everything that might interfere with Safari.

HI,

Run Safari in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.

The latest versions of Flash plugin cannot work in 64 bit mode. Just so you are aware.

So, all in all, running Safari in 64 bit mode is a bad idea?

Certainly in 64-bit mode Javascript performance should be better.

That Flash is not 64-bit shouldn't matter. Flash runs in a separate process just fine as a 32-bit plug-in.

LCC is the reason:

I'll just uninstall it, as I have no use for it anymore.

If you have this problem, and need LCC, try this:
