Safari and auto-refresh

It appears that, all of a sudden, my Safari browser is automatically refreshing web sites every “x” number of minutes. I haven’t changed anything or downloaded any upgrades.

And it’s driving me crazy on this MB. If I start to post a reply, and let it sit too long without typing, Safari will “refresh” my post into oblivion.

I looked under “Preferences”, but didn’t see where this could be set or changed.

Oh, and when it refreshes, it sets itself to a lower magnification, so I have to zoom in again.

Hope someone here can help.

do you have any programs installed that provide the ability to perform keyboard macros? sounds like you or it might be pressing a combination of keys.

What OS, please?

10.6.8

See if this thread helps:

Thanks. Looks like the solution is not so simple, and not free of its own problems.

What is puzzling to me is why this started all of a sudden. I’ve been using this since last September, and only had it happen in the last week or so.

Most likely, you’re running out of memory. Could be because of something happening in Safari, or something else on your computer.
