2006-04-12 Thread Chris Nandor
In most Mac apps, cmd-shift-s means "Save As ...". But in Safari, if you have debugging on, it means "Start Profiling With Sample". So instead of getting a save dialog box, my whole computer froze up while attempting to profile Safari, which was playing a rather large Shockwave movie at the time.
