Cocoalicious and Safari 1.3

Observant users of Cocoalicious who have updated to Mac OS X 10.3.9 may notice a problem with the “New Post from Safari” feature: namely, the selected text on the page is no longer captured. This problem is caused by an unfortunate regression in both Safari 1.3 and Safari 2.0: the Javascript “getSelection()” call no longer works properly when invoked through Safari’s “do javascript” AppleScript command. Rest assured, there is a bug in Radar for it, and hopefully it will get fixed at some point.

(Update: Sent trackback to Hyatt’s Safari 1.3 regressions post.)
