The italic/bold thing is a bug with how Cocoa wires those actions to the NSFontManager.

The same thing happens in Apple Mail, TextEdit, iChat, etc. There are down sides to relying on the system to provide rich frameworks – sometimes you are stuck with their bugs.

So it's not breaking with Safari as much as with Mail, but I'd have to say it's still a little annoying.</p> Eric, you’re right – I tried the Mail/NNW-style spacebar and didn’t bother trying to give the detail pane focus first.

That scrolls fine for me when I use the spacebar. Do you have the focus set appropriately? Focus doesn't shift to the content pane when you select an item in the list pane - you either need to click or tab.</p> When you say the detail pane, you mean the bottom right content pane right?
