Hello kimo81,



It looks like no one has responded to your question. Here are a couple things that might help others answer your question:



  1. Is this happening on your Mac or iPhone?
  2. What specific software version is installed on this device?
  3. Do you have this issue in any other apps?
  4. Does this happen all the time or only on specific websites?



Please provide as many details as you can and thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
