Absolutely not.

I'm sure this does not occur here on my system (until now).

Very strange. I do not remember any version of OW where this happened.

Yep. I know this one -- but only together with an attempt to kill a  
running process, e.g. a page that does not "want" to load (my report has  
been submitted). I remember similar situations with earlier beta versions.  
OmniWeb 3.0-beta-5a seems to be much more stable concerning this.

OmniWeb 3.0-beta-5a is already very cool. Unfortunately yesterday I  
reencountered a strange behaviour from the last beta, where the scrollbar  
vanishes when going back to a cached page. I'll submit it as soon as I can  
reproduce it.
