[wp-testers] is tiny-mce broken on Camino/Safari or is that my misconfiguration?

[Andy Skelton]

Thanks Roy, that's good to know. The new function user_can_richedit()
first checks the user option, then looks for known-bad browsers: Konq,
Opera < 9, Safari < 2. If neither of these is present, it returns
true.

If you have any new insight on ways to improve this, let us know!
