I belive there still is a bug with select lists in Safari.

I have now installed and tested select lists using Safari Version 3.1 (525.13)
and have found the following weird behaviour.... tested on XP PRO SP2

*** BUG 1 ***
If you click on the select list to open it then it will now
highlight the selected item in the select (which is good).
BUT, if you then click on the select (the very top of it) while it is open then
it sometimes highlight the first option in the list, even if it is not the
selected one.

*** BUG 2 ***
It is not very consistent regarding to clicks on the top of the select (the
part of the select that is visible by default in the page).
Example:
1. Select list is not open.
2. You click on the select to open the list.
3. You then click on the top of select again to close it...
   Most of the time the select does not close the list by doing this, which
   I belive it should do.
   More often you will see the top option in list get highlighted as of BUG 1.

I belive the select list should close when clicking the very top part of the
select (the one that is visible by default in the page), if the select list is
open. At least this is the way it works in other working browsers (IE,
Firefox).

Also see my previous reported bug regarding select lists (now fixed, or...?)

****************************************************
One last thing that is not related to this issue....
****************************************************
Who is responsible for how Safari renders the fonts.
The fonts in Safari (at least on windows) really look ugly when compared to
how the fonts are rendered in IE, Firefox or Opera.
(this is not a joke)
Text that look crisp and good reading looks very smudget and are rendered
more "fat" than it "should".

Example: font-weight:normal; in Safari are rendered more "boldish" than e.g.
IE or Firefox.

Where can I file a complaint on how font rendering are done in Safari?
