Login to reddit.com doesn't work

in SP15: Clicking on the login button at reddit.com has no effect, whether the normal login button or the popup that appears when trying to vote up or down when not logged in.

Still broken in SP16

This appears to be a WebKit problem that will go away when we update to a newer version of WebKit.

Good to know. :) I take it as sp17 has the same WebKit then?

How often do new builds of OmniWeb 5.5 incorporate WebCore updates?
For 5.5 we had to fix the revision of WebKit that we use back in March--we have grabbed a few critical fixes in the intervening time but mostly things are nearly the same as the r13302 nightly (we actually were on repository revision 13295).

The reason we chose that particular revision is because, back in March, Apple made a radical change in the handling of text fields and text areas in forms. There are still bugs in these new implementations six months later so the caution seems justified. However we hope to help fix these problems so that 5.5.1 can use a much more up-to-date version. In fact, our internal builds of 5.5.1 are using revision 16130.
