It looks like the new Safari beta may not be playing well with WordPress. Have to check this out on the WordPress forums.
Creating links in WordPress now thrashed in Safari beta
Note that when creating a link the entire interface is grayed-out and the link interface never fully loads.

The default TinyMCE editor seems to work in Safari 4 Final, but I installed TINYMCE ADVANCED to utilize table functions, and I can't create a table, which is what I was looking for. Links, etc. are now working, which were not in previous incarnations.
Anthony, do you think this is a Safari issue, or is there something that needs to change in TinyMCE?
From what I can tell in the WordPress forums it has something to do with tinyMCE, the WYSIWYG editor WP uses for creating posts. Apparently it wasn't broken for the last private beta, but something broke when they released the public beta. Hopefully it'll get fixed before it's sent out as a general release.
For me, for now, it's Safari 3 on my laptop or Firefox on my desktop.
Thanks for checking in!

I noticed this today, did a Google search and found your post. I see some chatter on wp.com. Let's hope someone fixes this before the final release.
