This appears to be a real issue: I can replicate it on Mac OS X
(10.4) with an Intel processor. It seems to be specific to the
newest release of Safari (3.1). I will try it out on 10.5 later,
unless someone beats me to it. I think you have to explicitly
download 3.1, rather than get it via Software Update (but I could be
wrong).
I will file a bug with Apple, and see what there reaction is.
The only workaround I've found is "^I" (rather than the TAB key,
which generates a different key-code): that gives you a popup with
the alternates, but in the "output cell" (underneath the popup) you
also get some blather about
" 7 [?47h [?1h = [24;1H [KHelp on built-in function range in
module __builtin__:"
and on.
Is this something we can work around, or does it pretty much hose
Sage notebooks?
