Safari 2 rendering error in Comments

Hey,

I just spent a puzzling hour trying to track down a rendering bug with Safari 2 and Mac OS X Tiger. My child theme was displaying well, except when comments were opened. When I clicked the link to show comments, the page lost its left margin. Odd behavior.

Anyway, here's the fix:

body.singular.safari #wrapper { /* this is a hack for Safari on the Mac */
width: 692px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 8px;
background: #ffffff;
}

Here's the corrected page:

Once again, thanks to Thematic's dynamic body classes, I had an easy way to isolate the problem in CSS.

Spoke too soon. Same problem: When comments are opened, the page shifts left, crushing the left margin. This was only observed on Safari 2/OS X Tiger. Other browsers maintain normal margins when comments are opened.

Here's the example:

Any ideas?
