Hi Ghoster's,

I can confirm this bug with Safari 13.0.1.

In my case when I add image card and click to add image, Safari hangs with spinning cursor.

I had to do "Force Quit" to kill browser, which then generated crash report.

I did a ghost update to ensure I had latest and greatest ghost version but problem was still there.

My updated ghost installation is now on:
Ghost-CLI version: 1.10.1
Ghost version: 2.31.1

As work around I did my editing with FireFox.

Regards,

Zebity.

I also confirm this bug when making a Header on Safari 13.0.2 / Mac Mojave 10.14.6.

To reproduce:

1. Create a new post,
2. select some text
3. change it to a Header using the "H" button

Then Safari crashes, I have to force quit.

Info

Ghost CLI: 1.11.0
Ghost: 2.34.0

I believe my comment in #11257 is also applicable here: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/11257#issuecomment-546143195

Which is to say, Safari 13.0.2 (14608.2.40.1.3) fixes this (the “.3” at the end of the WebKit version in parentheses is important).

[roelvanderkraan]

Yes, for me the issue is fixed on Safari 13.0.2 (14608.2.40.1.3). First thought it was fixed in ghost v3 but on a v2 site it is also working as expected again.

Hi Ghoster's,

I have also confirmed with ghost / CLI:
Ghost-CLI version: 1.11.0
Ghost version: 2.31.1 (at /var/www/ghost)

and Safari 13.0.2 (15608.2.30.1.1) on MacOS Catalina that ghost posting and editing is now working again.

I believe that this issue can be closed.

Cheers,

Zebity

I'm also no longer experiencing issues. Closing this as it was a bug in Safari itself that has been fixed in Safari 13.0.2 (15608.2.30.1.1).
