New windows dissappear bug is back. Dose anyone have a Solution?

After the last update to Safari a bug I thought had been Fixed has returned.

When I oppen a new window the the shortcut Cmd. N no window shows up. I will tend to do a repeat because I think i might have mistyped, to no avail. That is when I usally think "Oh it probly opend in another space, And it has but not the ones I can reach but the space between Spaces. As the Screens shift from one Space to the next the 2 new Safari Windows appear and then at the end of the Transition they disappear again. Even mission control dose not see them the ony solution is quitting Safari and restarting it. What events cause this Dissapearing act I have not yet identified. So I would like to hear from others who might have seen the same bug. And any solutions.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), iMac 27" 3.4 QC i7, HD6970M 2GB

Do you have this problem in other applications, or only Safari?

The Funny thing that is that it only happens in Safari. Mabe as additional info all the open windows are closed so that Safari is windowless. It dosn't happen all the time and if I try to recreate the situation it dosent happen again right away. Sortof Random. It is not that big a Hassel but reapeared with the latest Safari update.

I Could for all I know be a Hardware Related (Grafic Driver) Problem. Its not Cripling problem it just teases my Solution driven part of my Brain.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.

While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.

As Guest, launch Safari and test. Same problem(s)?

After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.

It was worth a try. But since the problem is sporadic im not shur how to recreat the problem it is also not persisten so that after restarting Safari it dosen't reacure. For all i Know it could also be Flash related since I do have a set of websights I visit regularly and they will have one or two Youtube Videos I might watch. I will retry wenn I have time and post my results the Short excurse didnt bring up the problem.
