OT: safari windows

Off topic, but given it's safari...

On one of the web sites I inherited (...) a little javascript is used  
to pop open a window stripped of much of the chrome, but it very  
clearly is set to display the menu bar so users on windows can still  
select print to print the contents. This works on all windows  and  
linux browsers we've tested, but no menubar appears in safari on  
windows.

Has anyone else noticed this? I've never filed a bug with apple and  
I'm not a registered developer, but I plan today to try to figure out  
if this has been reported and if not, figure out how to go about doing  
that if anyone else can confirm that it's not just bad javascript  
here. To whit:

function popWindow(pURL,wName){
  new_window =  
window 
.open 
(pURL 
,wName 
,'width 
= 
600 
,height 
= 
450 
,screenX 
= 
25 
,screenY 
=25,scrollbars=yes,toolbars=no,menubar=yes,resizable=yes,dependent');
	new_window.focus();
}

The script is obviously pass the URL and window name (interesting that  
Explorer will choke and not display the window if there is a space in  
the name passed, but we determined that long ago...and Explorer  
problems are definitely OT except to say: "Explorer, SIOOMA")
