	Yep, that's annoying. It catches me every time. OmniWeb has always had a problem with this (that's my recollection anyway). The same thing that happens when the app is quit should happen when Workspace quits it via the Application appWillTerminate method.. This is probably an easy fix for the Omni folk.

	I have not seen a mention of this yet but it is also very annoying. All forms elements seem shifted to the left. (Resizing the window a bit fixes it right up...) Hope this bug is removed too.

Other issues:
	Does it bother anyone else that <H1> text is automatically centered? This is not html and should be under user control at the very least. Its nice to have centered text but not mandatory..
	Does it bother anyone else that <pre> text wraps? Really messes up your pseudo tables to have the text wrapping. Its not supposed to wrap.
	Does it bother anyone else that there is no horizontal scroller? This might be related to the above <pre> problem. It really limits your ability to run OmniWeb on a notebook or low res screen..
	Does it bother anyone else that in a <select> the <option> lines are centered?
