           Summary: Plug In made by Acordex no longer functions in Safari 3
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rberg at mac.com


There is a quick time bug (see bug report 9214) which causes tiff documents
(copies of patents) to be rendered incorrectly at the US Patent Office website
(http://www.uspto.gov). See bug report 9214 for more details on that issue.
This rendering bug was handled in Safari Version 2 using a plug in from
acordex. Safari Version 3 broke the plug in made by acordex and apparently
there is no work around for Safari 3. See
http://www.acordex.com/browseProd/VTplugin.html for an explanation. The
programmers at acordex can probably explain the issue.

The QT bug has been a long standing bug. Acordex fixed it with a plug in. Since
there has been little interest at Apple to fix the underlying bug in QT, at
least fix Safari 3 so that the plug in made by acordex will function in Safari
3 (as it does in Safari 2) properly.
