Warning: Safari update 10.7.4 and latest OSX update

[Whaat]

See this topic:

There is a bug in the latest Safari update (also packed with the latest OSX update) that causes black input fields in web forms (which SkIndigo uses). I believe Apple is aware of the issue and I am trusting that they will fix this issue with their next update.

Crap. So that's what it was... Thanks for the info.

User petersaal on SketchUcation:

I found the same problem last week. The source of the problem is the Safari update that Apple pushed out last week (5.1.7). Here's a work-around for dynamic components: make the following edits in red to the manager.css and configurator.css files. (located in Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Tools/Dynamic Components/css)

In Manager.css:

.edit-field {
position: absolute;
border-top: 2px solid #3063C9;
border-left: 2px solid #3063C9;
border-right: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
border-bottom: 2px solid #A5C4FF;
background-color: white; font-size: 12px;
font-family: sans-serif;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-top: 1px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

In Configurator.css:

.config-field {
width: 100%;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
height: 22px;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

.config-field-readonly {
width: 100%;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: tahoma, sans-serif;
height: 22px;
background-color: threedface;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}

useful?

I haven't tried this yet but if it works, it can be a temporary workaround until Apple issues a proper update.

Hi!

This issue was so annoying I had to downgrade my Safari to get rid of it. Here's a easy way to do it without loosing your bookmarks, extensions etc.

Download Safari 5.1 (Lion) http://mac.oldapps.com/safari.php?old_s ... 3?download
Download and install Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com

Close Safari.

Open Pacifist and drag and drop Safari 5.1 installer file into it.
Select the Safari dmg 5.1 file and hit install. Use admin privileges and choose replace.
OBS! Later, when asked to choose between replace or update, choose update!

Restart Safari, restart Sketchup - and let there be light!

hey richard. thanks!

my main indigo is installed on a computer that i haven't updated recently (i saw these warnings prior to me having the time to update) so it hasn't been a problem..

i needed to set up a scene on my laptop for future use today so i had the blackout problem (which i had with DCs as well.. and i edited the .css files as shown in this thread and elsewhere and it does work except its only for certain DC dialogs.. not system wide or even sketchup wide)..

i tried reinstalling safari using the same download you provided (oldapps.com) but it didn't work..

finally stumbled upon your solution which involves using pacifist and it did work!.. so, thanks!

No probs! Glad I could help.

Hi All,
Apparently the issue with edit boxes being black in SkIndigo is solved in the latest SketchUp 8 version (M4).
