Feels like home

While posting amazing videos I’ve found on Vimeo to Twitter I’ve come across a very strange bug.

Somehow text rendering in safari can be affected by flash plugin running on the site. I do not say it always does, in fact it almost never does. But compare the two images:

This is standard Twitter stream:

And this is the very same stream but with Vimeo plugin running in 2nd pane.

When the flash player loades all rendering of text is affected. Looks like antialiasing is thinking text is rendered on a darker background and messes with edges. Particularly damaging to small sizes.

I know I should check other browsers and other flash plugins, but it’s late and tomorrow’s a work day.
