Filling out form in FedEx Ship Manager is very slow...

All of a sudden trying to fill out a shipping doc in FedEx Ship Manager is very slow. Each letter typed ends up with athe spinning beach ball for 5 or 6 seconds. Safari version Version 6.1 (8537.71). Never had an Safari issue before with this site and Firefox works fine. (Ended up using FF to get the shipment done)


Any ideas what is going on?

I don't think Apple will pay any attention if we posted feedback. They do what they want and couldn’t care less for the inconveniences of the customers. Didn’t we give you the OS for free??? Besides Mavericks is so full of bugs, as no other OS by Apple to date. I have been participating in other discussions for all the many bugs. Apple has so much work to do, I doubt they know where to begin with. Add to this the old bugs that were never resolved since Lion, like the Finder crashing after multiple drags of attachments in mail for storage to a locally shared drive, or even to folders in the same drive. I don’t want to get started with irrelevant to the subject here issues, but believe me there are MANY bugs that need attention. Now to the current problem, after further testing I concluded that Safari 5.1.10 needs to be excluded from the list of problematic updates. With other words the bug is limited to Safari 6.1 and 7.0 It comes to my mind that they implemented the sandbox per tab, taking the idea from Chrome, so maybe there is a faulty checkup hogging the system. While on Fedex page, the process of the tab crashes and since the other tabs have independent proceses Safari keeps rolling as nothing would have happened and only Finder reports the crash.

Apple does pay attention to feedback in the sense that it indicates the more important from the less important (at least they have in the past). This is why I recommended everyone with the problem leave feedback, and to tell Apple why we know this is their problem (and not a FedEx issue). If you have a better idea (other that the rant) I'm sure others here with this problem will be happy to follow.


I realize this iteration of the OS is discouraging Svetloslav. I should never have upgraded right when it came out and won't err in this manner again anytime soon (at the very least "you get what you pay for" should have overruled what little trust I still had in Apple). For now I'd settle for a browser that doesn't CHOKE when trying to do basic business activities on one of the largest and most used shipping websites out there. But, it would seem you are correct, they are quite unable to discern the important from the unimportant anymore.

I have reported already the bug to the devs. of Webkit some 2 weeks ago and they did not even want to touch the issue. Mind you those same guys usually act upon a bug within 4 to 5 hours after reporting. So it is totally in Apple's court. It is rather sad that I went ahead and grabbed the latest Chromium nightly and had a hard time to distinguish it, since it was working as good as, or even better than Safari before the updates. Common a nightly of google’s browser is better than the official web rendering engine of Apple that ships in their own operating system? That ain’t right!

Ok, so now we have a link to a site completely unrelated to Fedex, which presents the exact same problem as in the Fedex forms. The problem has escalated to a much bigger one. Hopefully Apple wakes up soon, there is plenty of information in their own forums for all the bugs that are plaguing Mavericks. Below the link to the site I talked about.

It's something with how Safari is handling the Java on FedEx now


see how there's the new drop down menu on the "to" fields with FedEx? What is happening is that FedEx is trying to prefil suggestions, but Safari is handling the information terribly slow and causing the crash out. You'll have to use the "FedEx Lite" option (without Java) if you want to keep using Safari.


One disappointment after another with Apple lately.

It can be JavaScript related, but is not related to Fedex wanting to inject suggestions from the address book there, because if you go to the form from the link I posted above, you will have the same issue yet the page injects no suggestions, because it knows nothing about the person trying to fill in the form. So the possible culprit is in how an input form object is handled, maybe some JavaScript routines, but I think also the connection with keychain is involved. It must be so, because at the moment you click on the input form element (as seen in Chromium) the program tries to query contacts, or data from your keychain and the address book. Most likely at that point must be the erroneous loop of query, which triggers by clicking on the field and Safari starts running cycles without an actual result and becomes completely unresponsive. So it continues until it gets out of the loop and passes the suggestion. In the next instance the described routine repeats.

Any news on a solution for this? I have no extensions installed in Safari and when I go to a page that has a form and click on a text field safari hangs and freezes for 30 seconds. The Safari Web Content process jumps to over 100% CPU at this point as well. I'm developing a site for a client with a long application form and this issue is causing me majoy headaches. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
