safari crash when dragging any image/text (A problem occurred with this page so it was reloaded.)

Hi Gang,

seems that after upgrading to Safari 10.1 (11603.1.30.0.34) each time I try to click and drag an image (or highlight some text/link and then DRAG) ... immediately Safari crash and present message "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded.", then Safari reload the page and crash report pop-up.

Already tried all the "known" tricks (plist, guest user, etc) none worked.

Please see some info pasted below. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe try this...


I am on late 2015 iMac w/Retina, El Capitan 10.11.6, Safari 10.1


  1. System Preferences > Displays > Color (default is iMac)
  2. Change profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1
  3. Now try dragging and dropping


Lower brightness on keyboard by a couple of notches and color is (almost) perfect match for iMac profile

There are now a number of threads on this issue -- including my own. It appears you can no longer drag images to your desktop without this happening. Safari 10.1 is incompatible with El Capitan in this respect. And from everything I've read there is no solution other than to upgrade to Sierra.

The only work-around I see is to bring up the picture and then do a Control-CLICK on it and save as....

safari crash when dragging any image/text (A problem occurred with this page so it was reloaded.)
