Re: [sc-users] problem with help system



Thanks. I did search the archives, but apparently with the wrong keywords. Pity, I liked Safari 4.
Cheers!

Do you have Safari 4 Beta installed? If so, it is not compatible with SC 3.3. You can search the archives for solutions and options.

Best,

Greetings

I have just installed v 3.3, and I'm experiencing crashes whenever I try to access the help system.
In particular, pressing cmd-D either to bring up the main help page or with a class highlighted results in a spinning beachball and a non-responding SC (must force-quit). Calling the .gui method brings up the browser momentarily, with the same symptom after a couple of seconds.

Possibly relevant facts:
* The last version that I had used was 3.1.1. I could swear it was working a year or so ago, but it appears that after restoring it (following the problem with the new version) I am experiencing the same symptom with that as well!
* running on leopard 10.5.6
* same issue on a mac pro and a macbook, on a number of different user accounts
* anything on the app support folder seems to be irrelevant (removed and retried)

Judging from the fact that the old version misbehaves as well, something else must have caused this. Unfortunately, I hadn't used SC for some time, so it is impossible to suspect something in particular. It seems to be the SC browser that crashes, but that's just my impression, I don't know. Otherwise, SC seems to be working fine.

Anybody with the same problem ever occurring? Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Thanks to all in advance
